1999

What?Little milk dog?Wu Jiusheng was dumbfounded, his brain circuit couldn't keep up with this new word that popped up suddenly, and then the topic diverged too quickly, he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to refute, so he was dragged into the bookstore in such a daze , the first thing I saw was a copy of "Chinese Tax System" lying by the front door.

Wu Jiusheng blinked, picked it up, opened it, and found that the book was well preserved except for some pencil annotations. The edition number was still new, and it was completely usable. He also looked at the price, and there was a number 6 written on the white glue price, With a backhand, he held the book tightly in his arms.

Xiao Zang glanced at him and laughed outright.

"Don't worry, don't worry, brother brought you here just to find textbooks, they bought a lot of second-hand books today, there are sure to be good ones. Everyone is working part-time, you know it's not easy, you follow brother , I will take you to look for it on the bookshelf at the back, together with textbooks, exercise sets, and reference books for exams, etc., it can save a lot of money."

Wu Jiusheng answered "Thank you" and nodded vigorously.

Their trip to the bookstore took almost two hours. Except for some that were temporarily out of stock, Wu Jiusheng basically bought all the reference books he needed. Inform him to come.Xiao Zang is a warm person, and he can come to work again. It can be seen that he has established a good relationship with the boss earlier. After being introduced by him, he has helped Wu Jiusheng a lot.

Wu Jiusheng may indeed be a little more naive in dealing with people in the world, but he is not completely ignorant.To take advantage of others, there is always some reason to express it, at least he understands it.

But what does it mean? In the past, when he entertained workers in the factory area of ​​Pingxiang, most of the time he entertained workers was a meal in a restaurant on Shangsheng Street, or he went to an Internet cafe to buy a few hours of computer credits. movie ticket money.Now it's different from the past, this is in the customs, the consumption of any street restaurant can be worth the meal money of the workers for a week, Wu Jiusheng hesitated, wanted to speak, but couldn't hold back.

Let's go to the wholesale market to buy some fruits, he thought, and planned to ask about Xiao Zang's current residence, and when he was free before the official start of school, he would spare time to visit and thank him in person.

He thought over and over in his mind what to say, but before he could speak, the cell phone in his pocket started ringing.Wu Jiusheng answered the phone. It was Hu Da. He asked where he was. He said that the meal time was coming soon. He had already bought vegetables at the vegetable market not far from him. He would drop by to pick him up later and go home together.

Wu Jiusheng's eyelids twitched, as expected of Hu Da, this solved his urgent need.He happily grabbed the phone and hurriedly asked Huda to help him buy some other seasonal fruits. He tied it up and said that he would introduce a fellow villager who helped him today.

Hu Da paused on the other end of the phone, reacting more slowly than usual, and it took a long while before he answered the word "yes".

Half an hour later, Huda's electric car drove to the street where the second-hand bookstore was located.At that time, Wu Jiusheng had finished all the things to be done. He and Xiao Zang were holding a cup of milk tea in their hands. They were standing under the street light boxes that lit up in the evening, reading the advertisements above. Xiao Zang seemed to be talking to him. What interesting and amusing thing, when he talked about the excitement, he tilted his head to the young man's ear with high spirits, and said a few whispers.

Huda saw it from a distance, slowed down the speed of the car, lowered his head, and wiped his sweaty forehead with his hand.Then he took out his mobile phone and called the young man, saying he had arrived.

Wu Jiusheng was surprised to see Hu Da.Huda, he noticed, was different.

It's just that the people who just parted a few hours ago actually changed their clothes from top to bottom when they met again.Huda has a pair of beach sandals that have been worn for many years, and they are worn and whitish, but they are still durable. During the long summer in Shenzhen, Wu Jiusheng often saw him dragging those shoes in and out, saying that he was taking advantage of them, just changing them. The new ones are not as comfortable as the old ones.But now the pair of sandals on Huda's feet were gone, replaced by a pair of leather slippers that Wu Jiusheng couldn't remember when Huda bought them.That’s not to mention, he recognizes the shorts and shirt Huda is wearing now. They are new clothes that have not been worn a few times. They are stiff and clean. Although they look clean, they don’t absorb sweat. It’s inconvenient to work in hot weather. On weekdays, Hu Da is afraid to avoid it, and only takes Wu Jiusheng to the city once in a while, or when he goes shopping in the mall, he will take it out and wear it.

I don't know what happened today, but I asked him to change into this outfit.His face had been washed, maybe even his body. When Wu Jiusheng approached him, he could smell a faint fragrance of shower gel from his shoulders.Huda's hair was also slightly wet, probably half-dried by the warm wind all the way, and hung neatly and fluffy behind his ears.

He even shaved his beard!If it wasn't for the scar that Wu Jiusheng was familiar with on his chin, he would have wondered if he had admitted the wrong person.

Hu Da was so neat and tidy, and he got off the electric car with a few bags of juicy fresh fruit exuding a fruity aroma, and with a formal and polite face, he went straight to Zang Wenqing next to the young man, politely, Shake hands with each other.

Huda even smiled at him!

"I met you for the first time, and I knew you were Xiaojiu's friend. Our Xiaojiu didn't understand anything when he first arrived, so he took care of you. I thank you for him."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Jiusheng jumped up on the spot.

"uncle!"

He protested.What's the matter? From the moment we met until now, Hu Da's eyes have been on Zang Wenqing all the time. He agreed to pick him up and go home. He didn't say hello to him or look at him from the beginning to the end. Wu Jiusheng couldn't figure out what kind of plan Hu Da had in mind because he was thinking about dressing up and didn't explain the reason to him.

Xiao Zang suddenly heard him call "Uncle", and immediately stood up straight and calmed down, respectfully, completely different from the front and back.

He started working in big cities earlier than Wu Jiusheng, and he understood the set of superficial rules in society. No matter who it was, as long as the elders came, he would not dare to neglect.

"Where is it, uncle, I am both Xiaojiu's classmate and his fellow villager, so I should help a little. Besides, it's just a small favor, a small favor, it's nothing. You are welcome."

Hu Da suddenly felt strange when he also called him uncle, and was also a little unhappy when he heard Wu Jiusheng's intimate name that only the two of them would call each other.But he didn't show it. He also went back and forth with the other party a few times in a friendly manner. After exchanging pleasantries enough, he took Wu Jiusheng, who was confused and confused, and rode away by bicycle.

At that time, the lights had already come on, and the streets of Shenzhen were red and green, like a mass of rich colors mixed with wine bubbles, wrapped in the warm wind that kept blowing past the ears, wrapping people in the bustling city, Lively and comfortable.

In normal times, Wu Jiusheng, who was sitting on the back seat of Huda's electric car, might have to hum two songs with his voice open.

But now he was so puzzled that he didn't want to say a word.

"What's wrong with you today?" He poked Huda's waist with his finger, "Why do you deliberately ignore me in front of people?"

"Do I have it?" Huda also had a rare moment when he was not shameless, and he didn't even catch his breath when he opened his eyes and told nonsense.

"You have!" The young man was so angry that he couldn't get angry on the road, so he ravaged Huda's stomach through Huda's shirt.He was pushing hard, pinching Huda twice, and he left the handlebar with one hand and slapped the young man on the back of his hand.

"Okay, don't make trouble..."

He resignedly softened up and said something, but Wu Jiusheng took hold of him and pushed back unceremoniously:

"Who's making a fuss!" He snorted, "Usually you're the one who told me to tell outsiders not to see our relationship. When we enter the city, we should pay more attention. I'll listen to you. Go out When two people walk together, they pay attention not to touch their shoulders, and they don't talk about you casually with others. You are fine, why don't you introduce a friend to you? The handshake is to inquire about his hometown, and you have never inquired about my hometown! Now that two big men are standing on the side of the street holding hands, you don't think it's too eye-catching, uncle, you have double standards!"

Hu Da, who has double standards but not double standards, doesn't understand. Wu Jiusheng complained about such a big deal, and called Hu Da stupid.

His response slowed down by half a beat, "Huh?", and he opened his mouth halfway like a fool.

"What are you talking about... I shook hands with him, and it was—"

Speaking of this, Hu Da suddenly stopped.He suddenly thought of something that he didn't even dare to hypothesize. Some kind of shameless conjecture gradually formed in his chest. He felt a little sudden and secret joy, but he didn't dare to be sure. Only the head tilted up without a trace, and the figure driving the car stood up quite a bit.

"You..." When the words came to his lips, Hu Da was still embarrassed, and changed his words temporarily, "Don't mind..."

Unexpectedly, Wu Jiusheng only cared about being depressed and ignored him.

The little itch in Huda's heart was even worse.

God knows how much he wants to just throw the electric car on the side of the road and stop.He wanted to turn around and kiss the troubled young man behind him, wishing that there would be a solid wall immediately, allowing him to press the young man on it and imprison him tightly.

He really should blame Wu Jiusheng, since he met him, his emotions suddenly seemed to be ignited by a wildfire, and he couldn't help but have a lot more moments.

He wasn't like that.It turned out that Hu Da knew that people should be content and that people should not expect anything. He always lived a self-controlled and stable life, and he would never be easily aroused by a sentence or two.

How old is he, is he worthy?

"I was afraid of embarrassing you..."

Finally, tonight he spoke the truth for the first time.

He was really scared. The young man entered the city and got a serious degree from a serious school. He would do many things that Huda couldn't understand, and he would meet many people that Huda would never have come into contact with. He would be in this big city. Stand firm in the center and have your own wonderful life.

But what about him?

Hu Da almost breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the young man naturally say on the phone that he wanted to introduce a fellow villager to him.He made a non-stop detour back to the rental house, took a shower, shaved, changed into a suit of good clothes that were rarely worn, and went to the market temporarily to buy a new pair of shoes.When Wu Jiusheng introduced himself to his new friend, he was so nervous that he was holding his breath.

He was afraid that others would see something from it, so he dared not show the slightest intimacy, but instead acted like a serious and rigid elder.

He took advantage of Wu Jiusheng's "uncle". He could tell from Zang Wenqing's eyes that the other party had misunderstood him. The other party really thought that he was Wu Jiusheng's distant relative who took care of the youth in Shenzhen.

He did it on purpose.Otherwise, what reason should he use to explain why such a weird-looking big man would follow the young man all day long?

The whole world can see the irrationality, only the young man himself is a fool.He didn't realize it, and even lost his temper because of the momentary neglect.

He didn't understand, Hu Da was afraid of losing face when he appeared by his side in front of those people, but it was worth his attention.

Huda's heart was moved and swelled, and the vortex of contradictions almost overturned him.

How much he hopes that the young man will never be sensible, always be so stupid, mistakenly think that what he has given him is already the best thing in the world, that would be great.

But that also means that Wu Jiusheng will never really grow up to understand this society and the world.

Sooner or later, his little Jiu will become a person ten thousand times more capable and knowledgeable than him.At that time, how should he explain that this man named Huda is really far from the so-called "best choice" standard, too far away.
