Demolition of the bridge across the river

Seeing his aunt giving money, Gou Xiaohe's first reaction was to shrink his hands and turn his back.

"No, auntie." He touched his schoolbag, "I have it."

Grandma never touches the money from my aunt. Although Gou Xiaohe doesn't understand why, the influence of precepts and deeds is too great.

"Here, why are you being polite to me?" Auntie grabbed his schoolbag and stuffed the money into it, "When you get out of the shopping mall, go directly to stop the car, don't run around, and I'll take you to eat when you go back at night."

The two of them pushed and shoved, their movements were a bit rough, the passers-by passing by took a look, and the aunt grabbed Gou Xiaohe's schoolbag: "Take it well, don't take it out again."

"Thank you, auntie." Gou Xiaohe had no choice but to hold his schoolbag in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Is there no bus? I can also take the bus."

"Don't." When the elevator arrived, my aunt pushed him in. "The subway has to turn around. You didn't know the way when you first came here. If you get lost, where can I find you?"

"Be obedient, just take a taxi home." She told Gou Xiaohe again, "Don't be afraid if you lose it, borrow someone else's mobile phone to call me...do you have my number?"

"Yes." Gou Xiaohe gripped the strap of his schoolbag, and he wrote it down in a notebook before leaving.

My aunt didn't even have the time to send Gou Xiaohe to take a taxi, she had to go directly to the underground garage to pick up the car.

Gou Xiaohe followed the signs around the shopping mall, pushed open the gate and went out, the hot wind in early summer swept the busy traffic in the big city, and threw him in the face.

He stood at the door and looked around before finding the direction, and walked towards the side of the road with his schoolbag tightly in his hands.

Two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time. Gou Xiaohe is not particularly afraid of heat, but Bian Qiao is. When he was a child, no matter how hot it was, he would play wildly all over the village, and Bian Qiao stayed at home.

I don’t know what’s going on today. It may be that there is a lot of exhaust in the city and there are too many people. After waiting for a while on the side of the road, Gou Xiaohe felt unbearably hot. I was sweating profusely.

The hotter you feel, the less you can wait for the car.

The taxi in front of you is either someone, or an online car booked by someone else.Gou Xiaohe's mouth was dry from waiting, and he wanted to go to the small supermarket across the road to buy a bottle of water, but he was afraid that the car would arrive as soon as he left.

Thinking about seeing Bianqiao soon, he didn't dare to run around.After waiting for almost half an hour, an empty taxi finally stopped in front of him.

"To see relatives?" The driver watched Gou Xiaohe get into the car from the rearview mirror, sized him up and asked him.

"En." Gou Xiaohe didn't say much after reporting his address, sat in the back row in a regular manner, and nodded.

"Oh." The driver dragged his voice and drove the car out. While waiting for the red light at the intersection, he swept the filial piety on Gou Xiaohe's arm again, "Who is missing from the family?"

Gou Xiaohe looked at him through the mirror, pursed his lips cautiously, and turned to look out the window.

It's pretty defensive.

The driver looked away indifferently, turned up the volume of the radio, and lowered the windows halfway.

The distance from the shopping mall to Bianqiao's house was much farther than Gou Xiaohe imagined.

He looked at the numbers on the meter that kept jumping up, and suspected that the driver was making a detour for him, but he didn't dare to say anything, and only urged him in a low voice to hurry up.

The scenery outside the window changed one way after another, and when the driver finally stopped, Gou Xiaohe looked at the imposing gate of the community in front of him, suddenly a little nervous.

This should not be the main gate, there is only an imposing small sentry box, no one is in the booth, but the gates on both sides are tightly closed.

You can't push it open, you have to swipe your card.

Auntie didn't give him a card, so Gou Xiaohe looked in through the fence, there were no tall buildings in the community, and there were all beautifully repaired paths and flowers and plants in the past.From a distance, you can see several pointed houses, all of which are small single-family buildings.

This should be the villa.

He clutched the railing and looked in, but was squinted by passers-by, his face burned instantly, and he let go of his hands and stood beside him.

He waited until someone came out from the neighborhood before he slipped in sideways through the crack of the door opened by someone else.

The community of Bianqiao's family is very large, and Gou Xiaohe walked around the winding path for a long time, and finally asked an old man who hung nutrient solution on the trees in the flower bed, and finally found the place with great difficulty.

Block B No. 32.

Gou Xiaohe looked at the small building in front of him, double-checked with the address on the receipt, and his heart skipped a beat.

We finally got to see Bianqiao.

His house is so beautiful.

The paper bag was sweating in the palm of his hand, so he switched to the other side and knocked on the door: "Bianqiao!"

No one cares.

Gou Xiaohe waited for a while, put his ear on the door panel to listen, but he couldn't hear the sound of walking inside.

He switched from knocking to clapping, saw the doorbell next to the door, tried to press it a few times, and finally there was a sound behind the door, as if something was scratching, but only two dog barks came out.

Does Bianqiao have a dog?

not at home?

"Is anyone there?" He rang the doorbell again and called Bian Qiao close to the crack of the door, but only the dog answered him.

A car passed by on the side road, and it quickly became quiet again.

Gou Xiaohe looked around in confusion, his calf was sore from standing, he put the paper bag by his feet, and sat down by the door with his schoolbag in his arms.

If he was at home, during the usual holiday time, he should be playing at Hu Yuan's house, or drinking rice wine and watching TV in the old rattan chair.

Gou Xiaohe didn't know how long he would have to wait. Whenever there was a sound nearby, he stretched his neck to watch, but no one walked towards this villa.

He didn't eat lunch, and he was still very thirsty, all of which were bearable, but the key point was that he wanted to pee a little bit now.

I don't know if there are public toilets in this community.

Gou Xiaohe couldn't help thinking, if his aunt never came back, would he be fined for peeing in the garden.

The sun overhead was slanting westward a little bit, and the shade that Gou Xiaohe was sticking to had already stretched out for eight miles.

When finally two footsteps came to the door, he was sun-drowsy and was knocking his head and eating rice.

"Give me the ball!" Someone ran two steps forward, accompanied by the "bang bang" sound of the basketball racket on the ground, "It's so hot...fuck!"

Gou Xiaohe was so dozed off by the sound, his arms shook, he subconsciously tightened the schoolbag in his arms, and raised his head to meet a pair of staring eyes.

"Scared me, the ball dropped. Who are you?" The man bent down to pick up the ball, his eyes still staring at Gou Xiaohe.

Gou Xiaohe was also terrified, his first reaction was that he had found the wrong door.

Just as he was about to stand up in a panic, the man turned his head and shouted out: "Bian Qiao! There is someone squatting in front of your house!"

Gou Xiaohe's movements stopped instantly.

Seeing Bianqiao again after three years, Gou Xiaohe's eyes were a little busy, and the first thing he saw clearly were Bianqiao's shoes.

White sneakers, nice and clean, turned around from behind the big bluff, propped up two long legs, and stopped in front of him.

Gou Xiaohe looked up with a silly face, the person in front of him was wearing a baseball cap, the brim of the hat was pressed a little low.He pushed up with his fingers, revealing a good-looking face and the familiar impatient expression with the corners of his lips pursed.

"Bianqiao!"

Gou Xiaohe's exhaustion from waiting for a long time disappeared in an instant.

Compared with three years ago, Bian Qiao's facial features have grown a lot, and he is also taller. In Gou Xiaohe's eyes, he is only kind.

He jumped up from the ground, so happy that he didn't know how to draw with his hands and feet, and kept pointing at himself: "I'm Gou Xiaohe!"

"Ah?" Before Bianqiao could respond, the big bluff next to him laughed first, pointed at Gou Xiaohe and asked Bianqiao, "What is Gou? Xiaohe?"

Neither of them paid him any attention.

Bian Qiao was obviously stunned, his eyes swept across Gou Xiaohe's whole body and the messy pile of bags on the ground, and finally stopped on Gou Xiaohe's arm, his eyebrows furrowed a little.

"Why are you here?" His reaction was quite different from Gou Xiaohe's, and his tone was not very friendly.

When Gou Xiaohe opened his mouth again, all his emotions turned into tears, rolling out without warning and uncontrollably.

"Grandma is dead!" He stretched his arms across his tears and told Bianqiao crying.

Gou Xiaohe rolled under the sun for a long time, and then fell asleep on the ground for a long time. He was sweaty and dirty, crying ugly under the red sunset, and he was very ugly.

It was only then that he noticed his black armband, and he put away his expression of watching the excitement and stopped talking.

But Bian Qiao stared fixedly at the grinning Gou Xiaohe, his expression changed a few times, but there was only annoyance in his eyes.

"It's not my business."

Impatiently, he pressed his hat, stretched out his arms and pushed Gou Xiaohe aside, and the bags at the door were kicked away indiscriminately, and he pressed his thumb on the doorknob, and opened the door with a beep.

The reaction was unexpected and hurtful.

Gou Xiaohe's tears were so hurt that he stopped, Momoyan was about to speak again, when a big thing suddenly jumped on Bianqiao from behind the door, he backed away in fright, it was a big dog wagging its tail .

"Xiaohe!" Big Bluff clapped his hands.

Gou Xiaohe turned his head to look at him, Dagou suppressed his expression of wanting to laugh but was embarrassed, "Ah" and pointed at the big dog: "I called it."

Bianqiao threw off his shoes with a "boom", and walked into the house with a cold face.

Big Yehu followed in, rubbed Big Dog's head, and raised his eyebrows at Gou Xiaohe while taking off his shoes: "You come in too."

When Gou Xiaohe picked up a bag and went into the house, the two of them and the dog disappeared.

He stood in the porch and looked in. The inside of the room was more grand than the outside. The layout was unclear at a glance, and the stairs extended to the second floor.

Gou Xiaohe put the paper bag and his schoolbag on the cabinet next to him, bent down to untie his shoelaces, and arranged the sneakers that Bianqiao was throwing around. He looked around, but found no slippers.

"Huh? Do you want shoes?" Big Bluff appeared out of nowhere, holding a can of Coke and pouring it into his mouth, pointing to the cabinet where Gou Xiaohe kept his bags, "Inside."

"Oh good." Gou Xiaohe pulled out a pair and put them on, then bluffed and smiled, "Thank you."

"You are so polite as if this is my house." He was so happy, he seemed a little familiar, and asked Gou Xiaohe: "Are you a relative of Bianqiao? Come in, why are you standing at the door stupidly? grown ups."

Gou Xiaohe walked into the living room and looked left and right. Just as his butt touched the sofa, Bianqiao changed his clothes and came down from upstairs, followed by the dog also named "Xiaohe".

"What are you eating, pizza?" Big bluff smashed into the sofa opposite Gou Xiaohe, slid halfway down, and swiped with his mobile phone, "Ask your relatives what they want to eat."

"Can you take a shower?" Bianqiao said.

"Ah? Me?" Dajiu moved his phone to look at him, but Bianqiao's gaze was fixed on Gou Xiaohe.

It's too impolite to urge people to take a shower just by pulling their faces when they enter the door.

The big bluffs couldn't help Gou Xiaohe's face, but Gou Xiaohe didn't show any displeasure, but smiled instead.

Unlike the polite smile he gave to the big bluff just now, Gou Xiaohe rolled his eyes, really happy.

"I want to go to the toilet." He stood up and walked to Bianqiao, raised his face and whispered, "I can't hold it anymore."

Bian Qiao stared at him with a complicated expression for two seconds, then pursed his lips and walked towards the bathroom.
