After amnesia, I got picked up by my ex
Chapter 48
"Hello? Mom?" Yu Guli looked at his mother on the phone screen.
It is probably the unique temperament of teachers in that era, and after years of precipitation, her mother looks like a high-level intellectual at first glance, with a very good temperament, and the years do not seem to leave much on her face. Even every wrinkle on the face just rightly added a bit of amiability to her.
She has almost never left the campus in her life. Even though there are some open and secret struggles in the campus, compared with most old fritters in the society, the school is still simple and tight, so that she is always bright, going out with her father, and It looks like a middle-aged landscape.
With a smile on his face and glasses still on his face, Cen Mulan finally opened his mouth as if confirming the signal after a while.
"Fish?" She called Yu Guli's nickname a few times, and then she seemed to have discovered something, and said, "When did you buy the white coat? Did you buy it too big? Is the neckline so empty?"
Yu Guli paused, subconsciously closed the neckline, the fluff on the collar rubbed against her face with her movements, there was a slight itchiness of feathers passing by.
This coat is not hers.
Her coat was drenched in rain and snow last night, and it is still hanging on the balcony. I don't know if it will be frozen into a prunes vegetable in the northern winter because there is no heating in the room.
She was wearing the spare coat that Bai Qingzhu kept in the car.
It's also because she seldom wears white clothes to go out in winter, not to mention crossing an urban area, and is extremely impatient with dirt, so her mother asked this question.
The down jacket also carried a little of Bai Qingzhu's unique fragrance, not the smell of processed perfume... She had an intuition that Bai Qingzhu would not like that kind of thing, and the hospital also had relevant regulations that the attending doctor was not allowed to wear perfume.
It was a very light fragrance, entangled on the tip of the nose like a button, not strong, but pervasive, so that people couldn't ignore it.
Yu Guli paused for a moment, told a harmless lie, and said, "I borrowed my friend's clothes to wear, but mine got wet in the rain last night and are still hanging out to dry."
"It's snowing heavily in Puluo City." Cen Mulan nodded, and said softly, "Remember to wear more clothes, you've been afraid of the cold since you were young."
"Okay." Yu Guli nodded and said, "Mom, Yue Yue is asleep, do you want to talk to her?"
"Zai Zai is asleep?" Cen Mulan moved the phone further away, as if it was placed on some kind of bracket, and kept saying, "Don't wake her up when she's asleep. Mommy has nothing to do with you, just want to May I ask if you will come back this year for Chinese New Year?"
"Go back." Yu Guli nodded.
"That's good." Cen Mulan smiled, and said tentatively: "During the Chinese New Year this year, one of your aunts will come over, and our two families will go out for dinner together."
Her family didn't have many relatives, but she had seen almost all of them when she was hospitalized, and she had never heard of any aunts.
Yu Guli was a little puzzled: "Auntie? What auntie? Have I seen her?"
"You haven't seen it. Their family has moved abroad for many years, and they just want to come back to support the elderly recently." Cen Mulan said with a smile: "Their family is very good, and they bought a house near our house, so they can often Walking relatives."
No wonder.
Relatives who can live nearby are not very common these days. After all, since the implementation of family planning, until the development of society to the present, human relations and relatives are very precious. In the next few years, even "aunts, aunts, uncles" The number of people like this will be reduced by half, and it is difficult to have one more friend, let alone a little bit of blood.
Yu Guli nodded, smiled, his eyes drifted upwards, and he saw nothing but white eyes, so he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Cen Mulan over there suddenly laughed.
She seemed to have just found a stand, and the screen of the phone became stable. Yu Guli also saw his father sitting in front of the camera, looking at the phone with a smile, so he called out, "Dad."
"Yeah." Yu Kejin nodded, with the embarrassment of most fathers when facing their daughters, it took him a long time to hold back a dry sentence: "Is everything all right?"
"It's all very good, and Yue Yue is also very good." Yu Guli also said with a smile.
Ever since Yu Guli grew up, he and his parents have not been as close as they were when they were young.
Most of the topics they chatted with each other revolved around Yueyue, and now Yueyue fell asleep, without the chirping of the small speakers lingering in their ears, it seemed that there was suddenly no topic to talk about.
After chatting about family matters again, Cen Mulan said, "Did you take any photos for the party when you returned to Puluo City this time? Show your mother. I don't know how many students in your class I remember... Who went there?"
"Photo?" Yu Guli's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I arrived too late, and I was too busy eating... I didn't bother to take a photo. Many people sat at separate tables, and they didn't even recognize their faces. I I don’t know who has gone, I will go to my friend and ask some to show you.”
"You child." Cen Mulan smiled and scolded her, "You're still so greedy, you won't be able to see anything if you have something to eat."
Yu Guli smiled silly.
"By the way, Mom." Yu Guli looked at his mother who was choosing vegetables on the phone, and suddenly felt an impulse.
What would happen if she mentioned Bai Qingzhu's name?
Will her mother tell her the truth?
However, the words almost rushed out between the teeth several times, but they were crushed by her and stuffed back into the stomach.
In the end, Yu Guli just said: "I want to eat sweet and sour short rib sauce elbow and braised crucian carp when I go home during the Chinese New Year. I also want your deep-fried small hairtail...wait for my favorite food."
He kept saying one sentence in a row, and reported the names of more than a dozen dishes in a row. Yu Guli successfully amused Cen Mulan, who couldn't help but laugh.
Yu Guli laughed along for a while, and finally said goodbye to the second elder, looking at the mobile phone that turned into a black screen again and remained silent.
It's also a little strange.
Why did her parents suddenly call and want to ask her for a photo?
I have participated in similar classmate weddings before, and I have never seen her parents ask for photos.
Yu Guli put his hands that were already a little stiff from the cold into the pockets of his down jacket and held them for a while before getting into the car.
With the heater turned on in the car, I felt relaxed after a while.
Yu Guli couldn't think clearly, so he simply stopped thinking about it, put his hand on his chin, and looked aimlessly at the tall building bathed in the sun in front of him, and then slowly exhaled a mouthful of misty white air.
Bai Qingzhu's things have always been placed neatly. All the documents to be retrieved are in the study drawer converted from a bedroom. There are many documents related to the orphanage, and she organizes them all in a file bag.
Someone will come to clean the house regularly, mainly to do dust removal.
The large pieces of furniture were tightly covered by dust-proof cloth, and only simple photos hanging on the wall, and some books and notebooks exposed on the table and in the glass of the bookcase could be seen.
She has been around the house several times.
The cleaning lady is very serious. There is no dust in the dead corners. The room is as clean as new, and there is no dust on the dustproof cloth.
In the past years, when she came back alone, she was always exhausted. She might lie on the sofa, lie on the table, or lie on the bed, until she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, and then she was woken up by the hunger. Go eat something tired.
Then come back and lie down.
Wherever she looked, there were almost all photos.
That's why she can lie down for so long.
The request to not let Yu Guli come up just now was abrupt, but in the room... there are indeed too many things that Yu Guli cannot see.
Bai Qingzhu reached out and opened a cabinet.
There were two sets of blue and white school uniforms quietly placed inside, one was a little longer and the other was a little short, already very old, tightly wrapped in a sealed plastic bag, domineeringly occupying the entire grid.
She stretched out her hand to touch it, and the touch of her fingertips was icy cold, without the rough texture of the school uniform she remembered, nor the body temperature of a girl separated by a thin layer of clothing.
The phone suddenly rang.
Bai Qingzhu glanced at the caller ID, was stunned, opened the window of the study, and looked down.
Downstairs, Yu Guli was also looking up, and there was a little Douding standing next to him, trying to look up with his neck up.
"Which floor is mom and aunt on?" Yu Qingyue's childish voice came from the microphone.
Bai Qingzhu glanced at the phone and said, "Do you use the hands-free?"
"That's right." Yu Guli said with a smile: "As soon as she woke up, she made a fuss to play with you. I said you went up to get something, but she didn't believe it... Ah, I saw Auntie, the more you see without?"
The more and more excited voice came out immediately, "I see! One, two, three... Mom and aunt are on the seventh floor!"
The old-fashioned residential building has seven floors at most, and Bai Qingzhu is on the top floor.
When the house here was built, there was an outdoor terrace on the top floor, which was not covered, and the area was quite large, which could be used as a sky garden.
Bai Qingzhu said with a smile: "Well, it's on the seventh floor. I've got something, so I'll come down now."
"Then we'll wait for you." Yu Guli said with a smile.
"Auntie is waiting for you!" Yu Qingyue chirped.
Bai Qingzhu hung up the phone, looked at the screen of the phone, then at the dark and oppressive room for some reason, and suddenly reached out and turned on the light.
The moment the warm yellow lights came on, the darkness was expelled in all the hidden corners.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the room again.
The pages of the old books have all turned yellow, and all the exercise books and books from Yu's hometown she kept have very strong traces of time. Even if they are well preserved, there is still a lingering smell of old books.
The immature smiling face in the photo is still like a blooming flower, but the yellow surrounding the photo and the fading surface make those memories stay in the past forever, replaced by the devastated white snow outside the house, and the downstairs The person beside the car was waiting for her to get off.
The eyebrows and eyes are the same as before, the years are the same, as if nothing has changed.
Although the book has become old, it is still as new as the book, washing away all the regretful past and past, with a brand-new freshness, and let her completely separate from the grief and mourning engraved in her bones, and let her regain her love. She has found a safe haven and a home.
There are two people and a dog in this home, and the name is home.
This is what she has been wanting all her life but can't get. In the past, a little girl held all these in her palm and handed them over to her carefully. Now, there is a woman who also does not hesitate to accompany her.
Bai Qingzhu put away the documents, pulled the switch, and left the room full of memories with a smile for the first time.
"Have you got it all?" Yu Guli stomped coldly on the spot.
Yue Yue still couldn't stand for a long time. Before Bai Qingzhu came down, Yu Guli had already moved her small wheelchair from the back, and now she could only stomp one foot lonely.
Hearing this, she yelled like a little follower: "Have you got it all? Got it all?"
"I got it." Bai Qingzhu smiled and pinched the tip of Yu Qingyue's nose, feeling cold.
However, there are still two spots of redness on the child's face just after waking up, and his eyes are still floating when he looks closely.
"Then let's go!" Yu Guli got back into the car, heaved a sigh of relief when he felt the familiar warm wind, and said, "I'm freezing to death."
Bai Qingzhu's heart softened, he looked at Yu Guli's red nose, and said, "Why don't you wait in the car?"
Yu Guli glanced at her, and smiled with her lips bent, "You guessed it."
Bai Qingzhu's hand stopped, pursed his lips, moved his eyes away, and said in a low voice: "I can't guess."
Yu's hometown has been brewing for a long time, but he didn't dare to say anything too loud. In the end, he just said politely: "You will know when the time comes."
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhu glanced at her as expected, wanting to speak.
Yu Guli turned her face away from the window, thinking that she was...too cowardly.
Half of the provocative words went out, but the second half didn't continue.
A great opportunity wasted in vain.
Bai Qingzhu didn't force her to explain, but only responded with an 'um' slowly.
The car drove slowly towards the main road. Yu Guli looked at the scenery outside the window, and was surprised to find that this place was only a few blocks away from their home. Even on a main road, the two blocks were far away from each other. It's not that there are many small high-rise buildings built in the later period, I am afraid that with a telescope, you can directly see the pedestrians in their community.
"When did you buy this house?" Yu Guli asked subconsciously.
Bai Qingzhu glanced at her from the corner of her eye, "I don't remember... It's been many years."
"Oh..." Yu Guli nodded his head three times, and the end sound was dragged on for a long time.
The orphanage arrived very quickly.
After the rush hour, and it is not a holiday, there are almost no cars on the main road.
When the car stopped in front of the orphanage again, my mood was quite different from the first time I came here.
There were already seven or eight people waiting at the door, scattered in twos and threes, standing or sitting, some were silent, some were smoking cigarettes, and some were walking back and forth and watching.
It should be time to meet Bai Qingzhu.
Yu Guli suddenly felt helpless.
No matter what it is, it is always the way of heart-for-heart that will work from beginning to end. If you have other thoughts at the beginning, then you can't blame the other party for turning his face. This is a fair deal.
Regret, anxiety, and anxiety now...what did these people do long ago.
When the few people over there saw Bai Qingzhu's car coming, they all stopped their movements in unison.
"Xiaobai." The leading man touched his pocket, took it out and saw that there was only one pack of cigarettes, and put it back in a embarrassed manner.
Bai Qingzhu glanced at the crowd, then his eyes fell on the faces of the children playing in the back yard, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Go in and talk."
"Okay, this..." The man hesitated for a moment.
"Her surname is Yu." Bai Qingzhu said, helped Yu Guli's arm, and pulled the person directly to his camp indifferently, without looking at the person who spoke just now, and said to Yu Guli: "Go to the lobby and wait for me , I’ll come out when I’m done talking.”
"Okay." Yu Guli didn't refuse, and followed behind the group, pushing further and further in.
It's not the first time Yue Yue has come to the orphanage, so there is no discomfort at all.
Yu Guli took out the gifts prepared in advance for the children and pushed them in neatly with a small cart.
Bai Qingzhu entered the office with those people.
"Mom, what did Auntie go to do?" Yu Qingyue raised her face and asked after the office door was closed.
Yu Guli shook his head, and while distributing props to the children, he said: "Auntie has something to do, let's wait for her... Go teach the children how to draw, teach them some tricks and dry things, what do you remember? Is it a small dry goods?"
"I remember." Yu Qingyue nodded, happily blending into the group of children.
During the period, Yu’s hometown received many gifts from children, most of which were small handicrafts made by herself-thousand paper cranes, little frogs, hearts, etc., and occasionally sweets were given to her.
She took all the orders, wrote down the names one by one and put them in the box.
Yu Guli took a piece of paper and a pen by himself, writing and drawing in boredom, thinking that he would have to wait here for a long time, but in fact, it took only about half an hour before the door of the office was opened.
The atmosphere was very gloomy.
Bai Qingzhu came out first, and after a long distance, the second person came out.
When he went in, he brought a total of nine Bai Qingzhu with him, but when he came out, there were only three.
No matter what the reasons for those people in the room are, the situation still makes people feel a little chilled.
Yu Guli stood up from his seat.
The moment the office door was opened, the children in the hall fell silent for a moment, and their voices dropped several decibels.
Yu Qingyue raised her head vigilantly, she put the crayon in her hand on the table, and looked at Yu Guli eagerly, but did not move.
Even if the voice is lowered over there, it can be heard from her.
The old man who had met once before stood tremblingly beside Bai Qingzhu with a cane, his eyes were very cloudy, and he held Bai Qingzhu's hand with one hand and said, "Will you come back often in the future?"
"Yes." Bai Qingzhu smiled, and avoided the conversation without a trace: "I must come back to pay homage to my old friend."
Yu Guli knew in his heart that Bai Qingzhu didn't mention the orphanage, so he just didn't plan to come here often.
The person who welcomed her the most is gone, and the remaining people have ulterior motives. Even if they tolerate this time, they won't change too much in the future.
After all, she is like a child who guards a huge treasure but has no ability to resist, and these people are hungry wolves who haven't seen meat for a long time, and they can bear it for a while, but they can't bear it for a lifetime.
The old man seemed to be trying to fight for something more, and looked a little pitiful with his head down, "In the future, will you still come to check the children's health?"
Bai Qingzhu froze.
The polite smile on Yu Guli's face also stopped, and she subconsciously glanced at the confused faces in the room.
Regardless of whether the old man is unintentional or intentional, he is using these children to kidnap Bai Qingzhu.
After a while, Yu Guli pursed his lips, turned his gaze out of the window, and stared fiercely at Bai Xue outside the window.
The snow is extremely white, but the water after it has melted is filthy.
If you hadn't tried it once, who would know that there are so many dirty things hidden in such a clean thing.
Bai Qingzhu shook his head with a faint smile, pulled his hands away without any trace, and patted the old man's shoulder, "I will come naturally when it's my turn. All doctors will do the basic examination. Someone will come here every year, not just me people."
The old man said nothing more.
Only then did Yu Guli look at the file bag in Bai Qingzhu's hand, which seemed to be much thinner, walked over and said, "Have you dealt with everything?"
Bai Qingzhu turned his gaze to her, "It's all good."
"That time." Yu Guli smiled and took her hand.
From her line of sight, she could see the smog lingering behind the half-opened door. The smoke rose to the top and spread out, and gradually new green smoke was spit out from the lower part, and she couldn't even see the inside of the house clearly. up.
Bai Qingzhu didn't like the smell of smoke very much, even hated it.
Yu Guli suddenly had a thought that he had never had before.
"En." Bai Qingzhu's arms tightened, and he looked at the old man again, "Uncle, I'm leaving."
The old man opened his lips, and Weng moved for a while, but in the end he didn't say a word, only waving his hands helplessly in mid-air.
Yu Guli lowered his eyes, "Yueyue, let's go."
Yue Yue controlled his little wheelchair and silently followed behind the two adults, with at least a dozen small and large hairpin crowns pinned to his head.
The front yard, which itself is very large, seems to be even bigger.
At the beginning, Yu Guli still held Bai Qingzhu's arm, but at the end, she almost held her hand, so that she could walk.
After arriving in the car, probably because of the confined space, the tobacco smell on Bai Qingzhu's body finally came out belatedly, and with her appearance, she looked extraordinarily tired.
Yu Guli looked at her for a while, then said softly, "Are you tired?"
Bai Qingzhu nodded, then shook his head, his eyes were blank and helpless, looking a little fragile.
"Lend me your shoulder for a while?" Yu Guli patted his shoulder and said, "Do you want it?"
As soon as the words fell, her shoulders sank, and Bai Qingzhu had already leaned his head on her shoulders, and let out a soft sigh.
Yu Guli reached out and stroked her hair, and said softly, "Do you want to close your eyes and rest for a while?"
Their car was parked here, and no one came out to see them off.
Yu Guli could see many children gathered at the entrance of the hall from a distance, and there were a few adults standing outside the door, talking to the children.
Like trying to stop the kids from going out.
These children are no longer like the ignorant and happy little flowers in the ivory tower. Their ability to perceive emotions is much stronger than everyone else, and they seem to have realized something is wrong.
Before she could react, Yu Guli's hand had already covered Bai Qingzhu's eyelids.
The eyelashes blinked lightly in the palm of his hand, and he closed his eyes obediently.
Bai Qingzhu finally relaxed, slid down, and said softly, "I'm really tired."
Yu Guli responded softly, "Yes."
"But it won't happen in the future." Bai Qingzhu laughed again and said, "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain."
"That's good." Yu Guli said: "In the future, I can accompany you to pay homage to the dean... She should also recognize me. Maybe when I think of it in the future, I will recognize her too. She will definitely happy."
Bai Qingzhu said: "Okay."
Once she was trapped in a cocoon, and she regarded herself as an indispensable savior, and even gave up several opportunities for further study for the sake of these children and what the management said.
The deceased dean tried to persuade her and scolded her, but she was so stubborn at that time that she never heard of it.
Now that I think about it, the dean didn't do it for her own good.
But at that time, she thought that what she had done was the only rope for those children to survive. No matter how tired she was, she had to grit her teeth and go down. In fact, looking back, it was ridiculous.
She is not that important, everything she does is because she is too nostalgic and takes herself too seriously.
Because she has such a fixed sponsorship target, she has raised a bunch of poor people in the management team. They don't think about making progress, don't take the initiative to seek funding, and are slick, and they are used to cheating.
They are bad, but they are not bad. After all, everything they do is for the orphanage.
But they didn't leave any scum in her calculations.
The dean failed to wake her up when he was alive, but made her realize something after he left.
Can't say good, but can't say bad.
It seems that people always have to lose something before they can grow up, to realize how important some things are, and to realize that some things are nothing even if they are lost.
Bai Qingzhu opened his eyes and looked at the hands she and Yu Guli were holding.
It's like Yu's hometown.
She lost Yu's hometown once, so she lived like a year afterward, knowing the preciousness of Yu's hometown even more.
This is someone who gives her peace of mind and a sense of belonging, she thought.
Bai Qingzhu suddenly reached out and squeezed Yu Guli's hand.
Yu Guli lowered his head and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Bai Qingzhu didn't move, and said without changing his face: "Hands are a little uncomfortable, signing is too hasty, it seems to be a little cramp."
"Sign?" Yu Guli was taken aback.
"Well." Bai Qingzhu said calmly: "When a person is overly nervous, the blood flow rate will soar, and he will be in a state of excitement. I was very tense at the time, and I signed too many documents in a row, and my hands couldn't work."
"Really?" Yu Guli asked suspiciously.
Even if you write a composition for half an hour, you won't have cramps, right?
Or a doctor's occupational disease?
How could she remember that the doctor's words were caterpillar bodies... Although the medicine Bai Qingzhu prescribed to her last time was an electronic prescription, there was no writing at all.
"Fake, I lied to you." Bai Qingzhu smiled.
Yu Guli's voice disappeared for a moment, and Bai Qingzhu let out a breath, and said with a soft sigh: "But the hands are really uncomfortable."
Bai Qingzhu's hands were indeed shaking.
Yu Guli's heart softened immediately.
"I'll rub it for you." Yu Guli squeezed her cold fingertips, and immediately pressed her down on Bai Qingzhu.
Bai Qingzhu closed his eyes again.
After a while, she said again: "Do you usually press Shengxi like this?"
"Xixi?" Yu Guli gave a puzzled 'hmm', with a sharp rise in the end, "Why do I lay hands on her when I'm fine? I can't do it myself."
"En." The corners of Bai Qingzhu's lips began to curve, "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome." Yu Guli felt that Bai Qingzhu's mood seemed to be getting better, so he hurriedly climbed up the pole, "If you feel uncomfortable in the future, I can help you press it, soak it in warm water and press it... It's so comfortable Is that how you massaged me last time, is that the right way?"
"Comfortable." Bai Qingzhu chuckled, buried his head a little deeper, and murmured: "Is it okay to press more? I still feel very tired."
"Okay." Yu Guli nodded seriously, and muttered: "You can still close your eyes and sleep for a while, and you will feel much better after you get enough sleep. You have experienced too many things in the past few days, and your brain needs to rest. , otherwise it would be bad if the body would be suffocated due to excessive load, you are still a doctor, why don’t you understand such a simple truth..."
Bai Qingzhu took another hand.
Yu Guli grabbed her hand very naturally, squeezed it twice and said, "Did you hear that? About you."
"I heard it." Bai Qingzhu opened his eyes and said with a smile, "I heard it."
Yu Guli wanted to say something, but she was amused, and felt that it was strange for her to chatter, but the words had already been said, and there was no chance for her to travel back and start again, so she said with a little helplessness on her face, "You rest Yes, I'll give you another press."
The author has something to say: Yue Zai: I am still behind, you two pay attention to the impact.
Tomorrow will be more~
These two days are almost two or three chapters combined into one.
Based on a chapter of [-] words, I'm on the third watch today! ! (his hips crossed)
It is probably the unique temperament of teachers in that era, and after years of precipitation, her mother looks like a high-level intellectual at first glance, with a very good temperament, and the years do not seem to leave much on her face. Even every wrinkle on the face just rightly added a bit of amiability to her.
She has almost never left the campus in her life. Even though there are some open and secret struggles in the campus, compared with most old fritters in the society, the school is still simple and tight, so that she is always bright, going out with her father, and It looks like a middle-aged landscape.
With a smile on his face and glasses still on his face, Cen Mulan finally opened his mouth as if confirming the signal after a while.
"Fish?" She called Yu Guli's nickname a few times, and then she seemed to have discovered something, and said, "When did you buy the white coat? Did you buy it too big? Is the neckline so empty?"
Yu Guli paused, subconsciously closed the neckline, the fluff on the collar rubbed against her face with her movements, there was a slight itchiness of feathers passing by.
This coat is not hers.
Her coat was drenched in rain and snow last night, and it is still hanging on the balcony. I don't know if it will be frozen into a prunes vegetable in the northern winter because there is no heating in the room.
She was wearing the spare coat that Bai Qingzhu kept in the car.
It's also because she seldom wears white clothes to go out in winter, not to mention crossing an urban area, and is extremely impatient with dirt, so her mother asked this question.
The down jacket also carried a little of Bai Qingzhu's unique fragrance, not the smell of processed perfume... She had an intuition that Bai Qingzhu would not like that kind of thing, and the hospital also had relevant regulations that the attending doctor was not allowed to wear perfume.
It was a very light fragrance, entangled on the tip of the nose like a button, not strong, but pervasive, so that people couldn't ignore it.
Yu Guli paused for a moment, told a harmless lie, and said, "I borrowed my friend's clothes to wear, but mine got wet in the rain last night and are still hanging out to dry."
"It's snowing heavily in Puluo City." Cen Mulan nodded, and said softly, "Remember to wear more clothes, you've been afraid of the cold since you were young."
"Okay." Yu Guli nodded and said, "Mom, Yue Yue is asleep, do you want to talk to her?"
"Zai Zai is asleep?" Cen Mulan moved the phone further away, as if it was placed on some kind of bracket, and kept saying, "Don't wake her up when she's asleep. Mommy has nothing to do with you, just want to May I ask if you will come back this year for Chinese New Year?"
"Go back." Yu Guli nodded.
"That's good." Cen Mulan smiled, and said tentatively: "During the Chinese New Year this year, one of your aunts will come over, and our two families will go out for dinner together."
Her family didn't have many relatives, but she had seen almost all of them when she was hospitalized, and she had never heard of any aunts.
Yu Guli was a little puzzled: "Auntie? What auntie? Have I seen her?"
"You haven't seen it. Their family has moved abroad for many years, and they just want to come back to support the elderly recently." Cen Mulan said with a smile: "Their family is very good, and they bought a house near our house, so they can often Walking relatives."
No wonder.
Relatives who can live nearby are not very common these days. After all, since the implementation of family planning, until the development of society to the present, human relations and relatives are very precious. In the next few years, even "aunts, aunts, uncles" The number of people like this will be reduced by half, and it is difficult to have one more friend, let alone a little bit of blood.
Yu Guli nodded, smiled, his eyes drifted upwards, and he saw nothing but white eyes, so he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Cen Mulan over there suddenly laughed.
She seemed to have just found a stand, and the screen of the phone became stable. Yu Guli also saw his father sitting in front of the camera, looking at the phone with a smile, so he called out, "Dad."
"Yeah." Yu Kejin nodded, with the embarrassment of most fathers when facing their daughters, it took him a long time to hold back a dry sentence: "Is everything all right?"
"It's all very good, and Yue Yue is also very good." Yu Guli also said with a smile.
Ever since Yu Guli grew up, he and his parents have not been as close as they were when they were young.
Most of the topics they chatted with each other revolved around Yueyue, and now Yueyue fell asleep, without the chirping of the small speakers lingering in their ears, it seemed that there was suddenly no topic to talk about.
After chatting about family matters again, Cen Mulan said, "Did you take any photos for the party when you returned to Puluo City this time? Show your mother. I don't know how many students in your class I remember... Who went there?"
"Photo?" Yu Guli's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I arrived too late, and I was too busy eating... I didn't bother to take a photo. Many people sat at separate tables, and they didn't even recognize their faces. I I don’t know who has gone, I will go to my friend and ask some to show you.”
"You child." Cen Mulan smiled and scolded her, "You're still so greedy, you won't be able to see anything if you have something to eat."
Yu Guli smiled silly.
"By the way, Mom." Yu Guli looked at his mother who was choosing vegetables on the phone, and suddenly felt an impulse.
What would happen if she mentioned Bai Qingzhu's name?
Will her mother tell her the truth?
However, the words almost rushed out between the teeth several times, but they were crushed by her and stuffed back into the stomach.
In the end, Yu Guli just said: "I want to eat sweet and sour short rib sauce elbow and braised crucian carp when I go home during the Chinese New Year. I also want your deep-fried small hairtail...wait for my favorite food."
He kept saying one sentence in a row, and reported the names of more than a dozen dishes in a row. Yu Guli successfully amused Cen Mulan, who couldn't help but laugh.
Yu Guli laughed along for a while, and finally said goodbye to the second elder, looking at the mobile phone that turned into a black screen again and remained silent.
It's also a little strange.
Why did her parents suddenly call and want to ask her for a photo?
I have participated in similar classmate weddings before, and I have never seen her parents ask for photos.
Yu Guli put his hands that were already a little stiff from the cold into the pockets of his down jacket and held them for a while before getting into the car.
With the heater turned on in the car, I felt relaxed after a while.
Yu Guli couldn't think clearly, so he simply stopped thinking about it, put his hand on his chin, and looked aimlessly at the tall building bathed in the sun in front of him, and then slowly exhaled a mouthful of misty white air.
Bai Qingzhu's things have always been placed neatly. All the documents to be retrieved are in the study drawer converted from a bedroom. There are many documents related to the orphanage, and she organizes them all in a file bag.
Someone will come to clean the house regularly, mainly to do dust removal.
The large pieces of furniture were tightly covered by dust-proof cloth, and only simple photos hanging on the wall, and some books and notebooks exposed on the table and in the glass of the bookcase could be seen.
She has been around the house several times.
The cleaning lady is very serious. There is no dust in the dead corners. The room is as clean as new, and there is no dust on the dustproof cloth.
In the past years, when she came back alone, she was always exhausted. She might lie on the sofa, lie on the table, or lie on the bed, until she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, and then she was woken up by the hunger. Go eat something tired.
Then come back and lie down.
Wherever she looked, there were almost all photos.
That's why she can lie down for so long.
The request to not let Yu Guli come up just now was abrupt, but in the room... there are indeed too many things that Yu Guli cannot see.
Bai Qingzhu reached out and opened a cabinet.
There were two sets of blue and white school uniforms quietly placed inside, one was a little longer and the other was a little short, already very old, tightly wrapped in a sealed plastic bag, domineeringly occupying the entire grid.
She stretched out her hand to touch it, and the touch of her fingertips was icy cold, without the rough texture of the school uniform she remembered, nor the body temperature of a girl separated by a thin layer of clothing.
The phone suddenly rang.
Bai Qingzhu glanced at the caller ID, was stunned, opened the window of the study, and looked down.
Downstairs, Yu Guli was also looking up, and there was a little Douding standing next to him, trying to look up with his neck up.
"Which floor is mom and aunt on?" Yu Qingyue's childish voice came from the microphone.
Bai Qingzhu glanced at the phone and said, "Do you use the hands-free?"
"That's right." Yu Guli said with a smile: "As soon as she woke up, she made a fuss to play with you. I said you went up to get something, but she didn't believe it... Ah, I saw Auntie, the more you see without?"
The more and more excited voice came out immediately, "I see! One, two, three... Mom and aunt are on the seventh floor!"
The old-fashioned residential building has seven floors at most, and Bai Qingzhu is on the top floor.
When the house here was built, there was an outdoor terrace on the top floor, which was not covered, and the area was quite large, which could be used as a sky garden.
Bai Qingzhu said with a smile: "Well, it's on the seventh floor. I've got something, so I'll come down now."
"Then we'll wait for you." Yu Guli said with a smile.
"Auntie is waiting for you!" Yu Qingyue chirped.
Bai Qingzhu hung up the phone, looked at the screen of the phone, then at the dark and oppressive room for some reason, and suddenly reached out and turned on the light.
The moment the warm yellow lights came on, the darkness was expelled in all the hidden corners.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the room again.
The pages of the old books have all turned yellow, and all the exercise books and books from Yu's hometown she kept have very strong traces of time. Even if they are well preserved, there is still a lingering smell of old books.
The immature smiling face in the photo is still like a blooming flower, but the yellow surrounding the photo and the fading surface make those memories stay in the past forever, replaced by the devastated white snow outside the house, and the downstairs The person beside the car was waiting for her to get off.
The eyebrows and eyes are the same as before, the years are the same, as if nothing has changed.
Although the book has become old, it is still as new as the book, washing away all the regretful past and past, with a brand-new freshness, and let her completely separate from the grief and mourning engraved in her bones, and let her regain her love. She has found a safe haven and a home.
There are two people and a dog in this home, and the name is home.
This is what she has been wanting all her life but can't get. In the past, a little girl held all these in her palm and handed them over to her carefully. Now, there is a woman who also does not hesitate to accompany her.
Bai Qingzhu put away the documents, pulled the switch, and left the room full of memories with a smile for the first time.
"Have you got it all?" Yu Guli stomped coldly on the spot.
Yue Yue still couldn't stand for a long time. Before Bai Qingzhu came down, Yu Guli had already moved her small wheelchair from the back, and now she could only stomp one foot lonely.
Hearing this, she yelled like a little follower: "Have you got it all? Got it all?"
"I got it." Bai Qingzhu smiled and pinched the tip of Yu Qingyue's nose, feeling cold.
However, there are still two spots of redness on the child's face just after waking up, and his eyes are still floating when he looks closely.
"Then let's go!" Yu Guli got back into the car, heaved a sigh of relief when he felt the familiar warm wind, and said, "I'm freezing to death."
Bai Qingzhu's heart softened, he looked at Yu Guli's red nose, and said, "Why don't you wait in the car?"
Yu Guli glanced at her, and smiled with her lips bent, "You guessed it."
Bai Qingzhu's hand stopped, pursed his lips, moved his eyes away, and said in a low voice: "I can't guess."
Yu's hometown has been brewing for a long time, but he didn't dare to say anything too loud. In the end, he just said politely: "You will know when the time comes."
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhu glanced at her as expected, wanting to speak.
Yu Guli turned her face away from the window, thinking that she was...too cowardly.
Half of the provocative words went out, but the second half didn't continue.
A great opportunity wasted in vain.
Bai Qingzhu didn't force her to explain, but only responded with an 'um' slowly.
The car drove slowly towards the main road. Yu Guli looked at the scenery outside the window, and was surprised to find that this place was only a few blocks away from their home. Even on a main road, the two blocks were far away from each other. It's not that there are many small high-rise buildings built in the later period, I am afraid that with a telescope, you can directly see the pedestrians in their community.
"When did you buy this house?" Yu Guli asked subconsciously.
Bai Qingzhu glanced at her from the corner of her eye, "I don't remember... It's been many years."
"Oh..." Yu Guli nodded his head three times, and the end sound was dragged on for a long time.
The orphanage arrived very quickly.
After the rush hour, and it is not a holiday, there are almost no cars on the main road.
When the car stopped in front of the orphanage again, my mood was quite different from the first time I came here.
There were already seven or eight people waiting at the door, scattered in twos and threes, standing or sitting, some were silent, some were smoking cigarettes, and some were walking back and forth and watching.
It should be time to meet Bai Qingzhu.
Yu Guli suddenly felt helpless.
No matter what it is, it is always the way of heart-for-heart that will work from beginning to end. If you have other thoughts at the beginning, then you can't blame the other party for turning his face. This is a fair deal.
Regret, anxiety, and anxiety now...what did these people do long ago.
When the few people over there saw Bai Qingzhu's car coming, they all stopped their movements in unison.
"Xiaobai." The leading man touched his pocket, took it out and saw that there was only one pack of cigarettes, and put it back in a embarrassed manner.
Bai Qingzhu glanced at the crowd, then his eyes fell on the faces of the children playing in the back yard, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Go in and talk."
"Okay, this..." The man hesitated for a moment.
"Her surname is Yu." Bai Qingzhu said, helped Yu Guli's arm, and pulled the person directly to his camp indifferently, without looking at the person who spoke just now, and said to Yu Guli: "Go to the lobby and wait for me , I’ll come out when I’m done talking.”
"Okay." Yu Guli didn't refuse, and followed behind the group, pushing further and further in.
It's not the first time Yue Yue has come to the orphanage, so there is no discomfort at all.
Yu Guli took out the gifts prepared in advance for the children and pushed them in neatly with a small cart.
Bai Qingzhu entered the office with those people.
"Mom, what did Auntie go to do?" Yu Qingyue raised her face and asked after the office door was closed.
Yu Guli shook his head, and while distributing props to the children, he said: "Auntie has something to do, let's wait for her... Go teach the children how to draw, teach them some tricks and dry things, what do you remember? Is it a small dry goods?"
"I remember." Yu Qingyue nodded, happily blending into the group of children.
During the period, Yu’s hometown received many gifts from children, most of which were small handicrafts made by herself-thousand paper cranes, little frogs, hearts, etc., and occasionally sweets were given to her.
She took all the orders, wrote down the names one by one and put them in the box.
Yu Guli took a piece of paper and a pen by himself, writing and drawing in boredom, thinking that he would have to wait here for a long time, but in fact, it took only about half an hour before the door of the office was opened.
The atmosphere was very gloomy.
Bai Qingzhu came out first, and after a long distance, the second person came out.
When he went in, he brought a total of nine Bai Qingzhu with him, but when he came out, there were only three.
No matter what the reasons for those people in the room are, the situation still makes people feel a little chilled.
Yu Guli stood up from his seat.
The moment the office door was opened, the children in the hall fell silent for a moment, and their voices dropped several decibels.
Yu Qingyue raised her head vigilantly, she put the crayon in her hand on the table, and looked at Yu Guli eagerly, but did not move.
Even if the voice is lowered over there, it can be heard from her.
The old man who had met once before stood tremblingly beside Bai Qingzhu with a cane, his eyes were very cloudy, and he held Bai Qingzhu's hand with one hand and said, "Will you come back often in the future?"
"Yes." Bai Qingzhu smiled, and avoided the conversation without a trace: "I must come back to pay homage to my old friend."
Yu Guli knew in his heart that Bai Qingzhu didn't mention the orphanage, so he just didn't plan to come here often.
The person who welcomed her the most is gone, and the remaining people have ulterior motives. Even if they tolerate this time, they won't change too much in the future.
After all, she is like a child who guards a huge treasure but has no ability to resist, and these people are hungry wolves who haven't seen meat for a long time, and they can bear it for a while, but they can't bear it for a lifetime.
The old man seemed to be trying to fight for something more, and looked a little pitiful with his head down, "In the future, will you still come to check the children's health?"
Bai Qingzhu froze.
The polite smile on Yu Guli's face also stopped, and she subconsciously glanced at the confused faces in the room.
Regardless of whether the old man is unintentional or intentional, he is using these children to kidnap Bai Qingzhu.
After a while, Yu Guli pursed his lips, turned his gaze out of the window, and stared fiercely at Bai Xue outside the window.
The snow is extremely white, but the water after it has melted is filthy.
If you hadn't tried it once, who would know that there are so many dirty things hidden in such a clean thing.
Bai Qingzhu shook his head with a faint smile, pulled his hands away without any trace, and patted the old man's shoulder, "I will come naturally when it's my turn. All doctors will do the basic examination. Someone will come here every year, not just me people."
The old man said nothing more.
Only then did Yu Guli look at the file bag in Bai Qingzhu's hand, which seemed to be much thinner, walked over and said, "Have you dealt with everything?"
Bai Qingzhu turned his gaze to her, "It's all good."
"That time." Yu Guli smiled and took her hand.
From her line of sight, she could see the smog lingering behind the half-opened door. The smoke rose to the top and spread out, and gradually new green smoke was spit out from the lower part, and she couldn't even see the inside of the house clearly. up.
Bai Qingzhu didn't like the smell of smoke very much, even hated it.
Yu Guli suddenly had a thought that he had never had before.
"En." Bai Qingzhu's arms tightened, and he looked at the old man again, "Uncle, I'm leaving."
The old man opened his lips, and Weng moved for a while, but in the end he didn't say a word, only waving his hands helplessly in mid-air.
Yu Guli lowered his eyes, "Yueyue, let's go."
Yue Yue controlled his little wheelchair and silently followed behind the two adults, with at least a dozen small and large hairpin crowns pinned to his head.
The front yard, which itself is very large, seems to be even bigger.
At the beginning, Yu Guli still held Bai Qingzhu's arm, but at the end, she almost held her hand, so that she could walk.
After arriving in the car, probably because of the confined space, the tobacco smell on Bai Qingzhu's body finally came out belatedly, and with her appearance, she looked extraordinarily tired.
Yu Guli looked at her for a while, then said softly, "Are you tired?"
Bai Qingzhu nodded, then shook his head, his eyes were blank and helpless, looking a little fragile.
"Lend me your shoulder for a while?" Yu Guli patted his shoulder and said, "Do you want it?"
As soon as the words fell, her shoulders sank, and Bai Qingzhu had already leaned his head on her shoulders, and let out a soft sigh.
Yu Guli reached out and stroked her hair, and said softly, "Do you want to close your eyes and rest for a while?"
Their car was parked here, and no one came out to see them off.
Yu Guli could see many children gathered at the entrance of the hall from a distance, and there were a few adults standing outside the door, talking to the children.
Like trying to stop the kids from going out.
These children are no longer like the ignorant and happy little flowers in the ivory tower. Their ability to perceive emotions is much stronger than everyone else, and they seem to have realized something is wrong.
Before she could react, Yu Guli's hand had already covered Bai Qingzhu's eyelids.
The eyelashes blinked lightly in the palm of his hand, and he closed his eyes obediently.
Bai Qingzhu finally relaxed, slid down, and said softly, "I'm really tired."
Yu Guli responded softly, "Yes."
"But it won't happen in the future." Bai Qingzhu laughed again and said, "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain."
"That's good." Yu Guli said: "In the future, I can accompany you to pay homage to the dean... She should also recognize me. Maybe when I think of it in the future, I will recognize her too. She will definitely happy."
Bai Qingzhu said: "Okay."
Once she was trapped in a cocoon, and she regarded herself as an indispensable savior, and even gave up several opportunities for further study for the sake of these children and what the management said.
The deceased dean tried to persuade her and scolded her, but she was so stubborn at that time that she never heard of it.
Now that I think about it, the dean didn't do it for her own good.
But at that time, she thought that what she had done was the only rope for those children to survive. No matter how tired she was, she had to grit her teeth and go down. In fact, looking back, it was ridiculous.
She is not that important, everything she does is because she is too nostalgic and takes herself too seriously.
Because she has such a fixed sponsorship target, she has raised a bunch of poor people in the management team. They don't think about making progress, don't take the initiative to seek funding, and are slick, and they are used to cheating.
They are bad, but they are not bad. After all, everything they do is for the orphanage.
But they didn't leave any scum in her calculations.
The dean failed to wake her up when he was alive, but made her realize something after he left.
Can't say good, but can't say bad.
It seems that people always have to lose something before they can grow up, to realize how important some things are, and to realize that some things are nothing even if they are lost.
Bai Qingzhu opened his eyes and looked at the hands she and Yu Guli were holding.
It's like Yu's hometown.
She lost Yu's hometown once, so she lived like a year afterward, knowing the preciousness of Yu's hometown even more.
This is someone who gives her peace of mind and a sense of belonging, she thought.
Bai Qingzhu suddenly reached out and squeezed Yu Guli's hand.
Yu Guli lowered his head and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Bai Qingzhu didn't move, and said without changing his face: "Hands are a little uncomfortable, signing is too hasty, it seems to be a little cramp."
"Sign?" Yu Guli was taken aback.
"Well." Bai Qingzhu said calmly: "When a person is overly nervous, the blood flow rate will soar, and he will be in a state of excitement. I was very tense at the time, and I signed too many documents in a row, and my hands couldn't work."
"Really?" Yu Guli asked suspiciously.
Even if you write a composition for half an hour, you won't have cramps, right?
Or a doctor's occupational disease?
How could she remember that the doctor's words were caterpillar bodies... Although the medicine Bai Qingzhu prescribed to her last time was an electronic prescription, there was no writing at all.
"Fake, I lied to you." Bai Qingzhu smiled.
Yu Guli's voice disappeared for a moment, and Bai Qingzhu let out a breath, and said with a soft sigh: "But the hands are really uncomfortable."
Bai Qingzhu's hands were indeed shaking.
Yu Guli's heart softened immediately.
"I'll rub it for you." Yu Guli squeezed her cold fingertips, and immediately pressed her down on Bai Qingzhu.
Bai Qingzhu closed his eyes again.
After a while, she said again: "Do you usually press Shengxi like this?"
"Xixi?" Yu Guli gave a puzzled 'hmm', with a sharp rise in the end, "Why do I lay hands on her when I'm fine? I can't do it myself."
"En." The corners of Bai Qingzhu's lips began to curve, "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome." Yu Guli felt that Bai Qingzhu's mood seemed to be getting better, so he hurriedly climbed up the pole, "If you feel uncomfortable in the future, I can help you press it, soak it in warm water and press it... It's so comfortable Is that how you massaged me last time, is that the right way?"
"Comfortable." Bai Qingzhu chuckled, buried his head a little deeper, and murmured: "Is it okay to press more? I still feel very tired."
"Okay." Yu Guli nodded seriously, and muttered: "You can still close your eyes and sleep for a while, and you will feel much better after you get enough sleep. You have experienced too many things in the past few days, and your brain needs to rest. , otherwise it would be bad if the body would be suffocated due to excessive load, you are still a doctor, why don’t you understand such a simple truth..."
Bai Qingzhu took another hand.
Yu Guli grabbed her hand very naturally, squeezed it twice and said, "Did you hear that? About you."
"I heard it." Bai Qingzhu opened his eyes and said with a smile, "I heard it."
Yu Guli wanted to say something, but she was amused, and felt that it was strange for her to chatter, but the words had already been said, and there was no chance for her to travel back and start again, so she said with a little helplessness on her face, "You rest Yes, I'll give you another press."
The author has something to say: Yue Zai: I am still behind, you two pay attention to the impact.
Tomorrow will be more~
These two days are almost two or three chapters combined into one.
Based on a chapter of [-] words, I'm on the third watch today! ! (his hips crossed)
