cloud and sun

It didn't take long to arrive at the door of Cheng Xu's house.

The courtyard door of Cheng Xu's house was open, and there were several middle-aged people in their 50s and [-]s sitting inside. They sat at the table in the courtyard and chatted happily.Qiao An didn't know any of these people, so he didn't know who they were from Cheng Xu.

As soon as Cheng Xu entered the yard, the group of people asked Cheng Xu: "Oh, Xiao Xu is back. Is the person next to you the one you said he was going to pick up?"

"um, yes."

"The child is quite obedient." In Chongqing dialect, obedient means good-looking.

Qiao An said hello awkwardly: "Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Qiao An."

Cheng Xu handed the bag of clothes in his hand to one of the uncles: "Uncle, these are the clothes your daughter brought you."

"Have you seen her?"

"seen."

"what do you think?"

Seeing Cheng Xu's embarrassment, Qiao An suddenly felt a little funny.Sure enough, no matter where you are, you can't hide from being the person arranged by the elders.

"Uncle, I don't think about these for now."

The aunt on the side began to persuade: "Oh, young man, if you don't hurry up and find one now, it will become more and more difficult to find in the future."

Seeing that Cheng Xu helped him so much today, Qiao An had an idea: "Auntie and uncle, I was bitten by mosquitoes and there were bags all over my hands just now. Cheng Xu wants to help me get the toilet water. Let's go into the house."

"Young people like you have tender skin, which is what mosquitoes like to pick on. Go!"

Cheng Xu hurriedly dragged Qiao An into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a middle-aged man cleaning.

"Dad, I'm back. Where's Mom?"

"Your mother is upstairs watching TV."

"Then I'll take An An to see her first. She has wanted to see An An a long time ago."

Cheng Xu's father looked at the fair-looking boy beside his son and realized that it was Qiao An.

"An'an! All these years have changed."

"Hello, uncle."

Qiao An was a little puzzled, he didn't know that Cheng Xu's mother wanted to see him very much, but he obediently followed Cheng Xu upstairs.

"Who were those people in the yard just now?"

"The uncles and aunts who come here to escape the summer, they come here for a long time every year, so everyone is familiar with it."

"Oh, that's it. Is that uncle's daughter good-looking?"

Cheng Xu didn't expect Qiao An's words to be quite offensive, so he replied, "It's pretty, do you want her contact information?"

Qiao An just made a joke when he saw Cheng Xu's funny appearance.

"No. I have kissed several times this summer vacation."

Cheng Xu's parents' room is at the innermost part of the second floor. The room is very big, with a sofa, and a big bed on the other side by the window.A large-screen TV was installed opposite the sofa, and Cheng Xu's mother was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

The houses in the village are all like this, with a large area.The room in Joan's house is also a big one.

"Mom, I'm back."

Cheng Xu's mother paused the TV, and only then did she notice Qiao An who was next to Cheng Xu.

"Hello, Auntie." Qiao An's appearance is that kind of obedient, and Cheng Xu's mother finds it very cute when she greets her obediently.

"An'an, right? I haven't seen this for a long time. It's still the same as before, very obedient."

Joan smiled awkwardly.

"Mom, is there toilet water in your room? An'an was bitten by mosquitoes just now."

"An'an, sit down quickly. I'll look for it."

When Cheng Xu's mother was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Cheng Xu noticed how restrained Qiao An was.

"Mom, I'll take An'an to my room to wipe it, you may not find it."

Qiao An glanced at Cheng Xu gratefully, and thought to leave quickly, otherwise the mosquito bag would disappear.

Qiao An followed Cheng Xu with her bag on her back, and climbed several floors.

"Which floor do you live on?"

"Fourth floor."

"Why do you want to live on the top floor? It's too inconvenient to go up and down every day."

"If you live on the fourth floor, you can watch the stars on the top floor at night."

Joan suddenly got a little excited: "Wow, are there any stars today? There are no stars in Shanghai."

"It shouldn't be there today. It should be there when the weather clears up. How many days are you staying here?"

"I haven't bought a ticket to go back yet, so it's fine for a few more or less days."

"Then when the weather clears, I'll take you to watch the stars on the roof."

There are two other rooms on the fourth floor for guests, and Cheng Xu's room is facing the stairs.

Cheng Xu's room is the same as the room where Cheng Xu's mother stayed, both are very large.It's just that there is no TV in Cheng Xu's room, but a computer.

Lazy people like Qiao An feel that Cheng Xu's room is a bit messy.However, most of the reason why Cheng Xu's room is messy is that the easels and various paints are scattered around.There is another unfinished painting on the easel.There is a desk opposite the bed, and the top of the desk is a little tidy.There are several cameras on the shelf above the desk.But Joan doesn't know much about cameras.

Cheng Xu found toilet water in the cabinet and handed it to Qiao An.Qiao An felt that she didn't need it anymore, but she took it and wiped it off.

Cheng Xu also put a green mosquito repellent bracelet on Qiao An.

"But this bracelet doesn't work very well when there are too many mosquitoes. In the village, mosquito coils are still useful. You can take a box back with you later."

"Well, thank you."

"Do you know how to spread quilts? After Grandma Qiao left, all the quilts were put away."

"I will. I live in a dormitory in college."

"That's fine, you go home and clean up first. Send me a WeChat message if you have anything to do."

Joan returned to her home with a box of mosquito coils and keys.The flowers in the yard are blooming very well.The shed in the yard didn't look damaged, and Cheng Xu repaired it quite well.

Joan locked the yard door and went into the house.

The fact that there is no one in such a large house is actually a bit scary.Joan went back to her room to put her things away, it was a bit late after the bed was made.

He was also very tired all day. He wanted to sleep, but when he turned off the lights, he heard the buzzing of mosquitoes.He got up to light the mosquito coils only to find that there was no lighter.He felt that it would be too troublesome for him to ask Cheng Xu to borrow a lighter at this time, so let it go after thinking about it, after all, mosquitoes can't bite people to death.Fortunately, it was cool on the mountain, so Joan found a thin blanket to wrap herself tightly.

The frogs outside have never shown weakness. Occasionally there will be one or two dog barks, and occasionally there will be some strange sounds.

It just so happened that Qiao An's mother sent him a video.Joan quickly turned on the light and answered the video.

"Mom, I'm a little scared by myself."

"Son, how old are you and you are still afraid."

"No, Mom, it's just too dark, and I can't see anything clearly when the lights are turned off. There are also some strange sounds."

"An'an, don't think about it, you are very tired today, go to sleep!"

"Then why are you making a video call?"

"I'll just see if you're okay, it looks okay."

"Mom, look at the bags on my hand. They are all bitten by mosquitoes. There seem to be several bags on my face."

"It's normal to have a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain. When you left, I told you to prepare too much, but you just brought a few clothes. You tell me now that I can't help you."

"Mom, can you ask Dad if I can sleep in the room of my grandparents? My grandparents will protect me."

The voice of Qiao An's father sounded over the video: "Don't touch your grandparents' things. Why do you sleep in your grandparents' room when you have your own room?"

Joan just said it casually, and he knew that his father would definitely not agree.

"Son, mom is going to bed, don't be afraid, bye."

Before Qiao An could finish speaking, the video was hung up.Joan was no longer sleepy, and was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard the phone ring.

"Hey, who are you?" Joan's voice was still hazy.

"An'an, if you are afraid, come to our house to sleep. We still have a vacant room."

"Huh? Cheng Xu?"

Only then did Qiao An realize that it was Cheng Xu calling.

"Do you want to come over?"

"No, no! Why do you know I'm afraid?"

"I just saw your dad's circle of friends."

"Ah? What? I'm fine, but do you know where we keep our lighter? I just forgot to take the lighter. There are a lot of mosquitoes."

"I don't know about it. Let me bring it to you. There are too many mosquitoes if you don't use mosquito coils."

"Ah, don't bother."

"It's okay, you go and open the door on the top floor of your house, and I'll come over right away."

Joan just remembered that the two of them were next to each other, so they could come directly from the top floor.

Joan's room was actually on the fourth floor. He chose it because he didn't want to meet people, so it was best to live on the top.

Qiao An opened the door to the top floor, sat on the deck chair on the top floor and waited for Cheng Xu.

I looked at the sky, as if there were no stars, and the moon seemed to be invisible.

Joan opened Moments and saw a message his dad just posted.

"The son was raised like a girl. He would be afraid to go back to his hometown and live alone. The one with thin skin and tender flesh was bitten by a mosquito and complained to his mother."

The key is that the first reply below was from an aunt he knew: "Haha, my daughter is really courageous, and she went back to her hometown by herself before, so she wasn't afraid at all."

Qiao An didn't understand why his father would post such a circle of friends, anyway, he would try to avoid those uncles and aunts who commented on it in the future.

Cheng Xu climbed over the railing in the middle and came over.

"Hey, lighter."

"Thank you."

"Don't be afraid, I'll be here soon."

Joan nodded: "Yeah."

Cheng Xu remembered that he seemed to have said similar things to Qiao An when he was a child, and Qiao An nodded obediently like now.

Cheng Xu rubbed Qiao An's head like he did when he was a child and said, "Don't be afraid, An An, brother Xu is here."

Joan seemed to have been electrocuted.

"Brother Xu, I'm going to bed, good night." After speaking, she slipped away.

Qiao An analyzed it and found that something was wrong with Cheng Xu.But considering that Cheng Xu regards him as his younger brother, this kind of behavior is not incomprehensible.In the end, after some analysis, he found that something was wrong with him, he was too fond of thinking wildly.You shouldn't know so much messy knowledge.

However, what Cheng Xu said seemed to be quite effective, Qiao An soon fell asleep.

The next day, Joan was woken up by the chickens in the village.But he continued to sleep until after ten o'clock.

The sun was already high outside, and after Joan washed up, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten to think about what to eat here.

Although the mosquito coils were lit, there were still many red spots on Qiao An's arms, and many red spots were unevenly distributed on his face.

Joan's skin was too fair, so he looked a little serious.

Qiao An turned on the phone only to see the WeChat message sent by Cheng Xu a few hours ago.

"Are you up?"

"Do you want breakfast?"

Joan quickly replied, "Just got up."

Cheng Xu returned quickly: "My mother asked you to come to our house for lunch. She went to the town to buy groceries today."

"Okay, I'll tidy up and come right over."

Qiao An felt that Cheng Xu's family were really good people and helped him a lot.He planned to bring some presents to the family before he left.
