Chapter 37

After the different dormitories, Xu Can and Guo Xiaoya met less frequently.

In particular, Guo Xiaoya is someone who loves to skip classes.

It was getting colder, and as soon as he entered the lecture hall, Xu Can found that the air conditioner was on. Tong Mingyue has been on business trips twice in the past three days, and many of them are on business trips at home and abroad, so she has no chance to make supper for her.

In the early winter, the dazzling light at noon came in from the window, spread diagonally on the ground and spread to the podium. As soon as the old professor entered the classroom, he turned off the air conditioner with a stern face, and then began to lecture.

“…”

Xu Can was in class, when the glass was suddenly knocked on from the outside.

She was startled.

Turning her head, she saw Guo Xiaoya standing in the bushes, hiding behind the curtains, trying to avoid the teacher’s gaze on the podium, opening her mouth and whispering, “Come out and eat~”

Xu Can: “…”

Xu Can hesitated for a few seconds, stood up, and pulled up the blue curtains.

Guo Xiaoya: “…”

She froze in the soft soil, couldn’t believe it, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone to call her. Put your head down and press the dial, put it to your ear, and hear that it is turned off.

Under the sun, she suspected that she had pressed it wrong.

She turned up the brightness of the screen and turned it off again.

After being dumbfounded for a long time, he knocked on the glass again, but Xu Can still did not open the curtains.

Just as she was standing in the bushes, thinking about whether to rush into the classroom and drag people out, or forget it. While struggling thoughtfully.

Behind him, someone suddenly tapped his shoulder.

“Have a meal?”

“I rely on!”

Guo Xiaoya almost jumped up.

Xu Can smiled with his eyes crooked, lowered his eyes, and turned off the airplane mode of his phone.

I knew she was going to call.

Pull down the curtains, turn on airplane mode in the next second, then pack up and quietly walk out of the classroom.

“Wow, you did it on purpose!” Guo Xiaoya finally reacted, “You have a white face and a black heart.”

Xu Can was noncommittal: “What to eat?”

…

It was still early, and the cafeteria was empty.

Guo Xiaoya sat down and complained, “Japanese is so hard to learn. You have to remember all the verbs that change like this. I’m not Sun Wukong, so I can’t learn the seventy-two changes!”

Xu Can put down the plate and didn’t have time to speak.

“You’re busy with internships, part-time jobs, and tutoring. With three jobs, plus your abnormally high GPA, you can handle it with ease,” Guo Xiaoya frowned, poking the fish with chopsticks and continuing to complain, “I feel like I’m a waste.”

“How difficult are Japanese verb conjugations to learn?”

Xu Can glanced at her, “No matter how much we can have more changes in chemistry? You are a genius in analytical chemistry who can rely on memorizing notes two days before the exam without failing the class, how dare you humble yourself like this?”

Guo Xiaoya was instantly happy: “Damn, are you coaxing me? Xu Cancan is incredible now.”

She was in a good mood, her eyebrows raised and her speech changed immediately: “That’s true. Japanese is simple. It was picked up from the language of our ancestors and developed. It’s like an ancestor looking at a great-grandson.”

Xu Can smiled: “Then you study hard.”

“By the way,” Guo Xiaoya thought of something very serious and said seriously, “You did a good job doing chores in that research group, right? My senior sister told me that this year’s graduation thesis seems to be ahead of schedule.”

“When did you mention it?”

“The specifics haven’t been decided yet, in fact, it won’t be very early, but I heard that Gu Yi and the others have started to contact their tutors. I just want to remind you that your professor Tong has been a big hit recently, not one of the hottest ones. Start first. Be strong!”

“…talk later.”

Guo Xiaoya saw that she didn’t care at all, and laughed again after thinking about it: “Yes, this kind of graduation thesis tutor is not something that Professor Tong wants to be in his mood… They are not in a hurry to fight with Xu Cancan.”

—

Grandma called more than a month in advance to ask when she would go home.

This winter vacation, it’s a bit unreasonable not to go home again.

Xu Can did the math. It was probably more convenient and cost-effective to buy a ticket for a few days. Talk to grandma about a good day.

On the day I got home, it was a fine sunny day just after leaving the train station, but it turned grey in a blink of an eye. As soon as the wind picked up, a large cloud of dark clouds slowly came here, pressing overhead, and the sky quickly became gloomy and dark.

Xu Can dragged his suitcase and rushed home a step or two before the rain poured down.

Almost before and after the foot, it started to rain outside the window.

“It just happened that it didn’t rain,” the old lady looked at Xu Can with a smile on her face, and wanted to take her suitcase, “My sister is getting more and more beautiful, she is beautiful. It’s hard to read…”

Holding Xu Can’s hand, he spoke softly.

The meal had been prepared long ago, and she sat down to eat.

Grandpa was not in good health. After eating, he had to lie down on the bed soon. Grandma pushed him back to the room first.

After Xu Can finished eating, he stood up to clean up the dishes.

“Let it go,” the old lady trotted over when she saw it coming out of the room, snatched the tableware and chopsticks from her hand, and said, “This is not what college students want to do.”

“I’ve finished all the things the college students have to do,” Xu Can helplessly, “I’m going home now, grandma.”

“I’m not a college student when I go home?”

“It’s not easy to get a college student from Xu’s family. Even if you smash the bowl, you won’t be able to wash it. Grandma is still alive and her arms are still there.” The old lady was thin, but she was very strong. Grab those bowls and chopsticks.

Xu Can couldn’t really fight her. I had to watch her wash, and in the sound of the water, I thought of many things in the past.

She used to help with housework.

When he was just taller than the stove, he would step on the small bench to cook and cook, and would also help with sweeping and mopping.

Later, in the sixth grade, her schoolbag became heavier and heavier, and the school time was getting later and later.

One time, I didn’t get home until it got dark, and the neighbor just came back from get off work before entering the door. When I met her, she smiled and praised her as a college student.

Grandma laughed when she heard it, and said that the girl was good at reading when she was a child, and your son’s grades will be good at that time. Boys, like to have fun, when junior high school knows that you need to study, your grades will come up.

Talked and laughed with the neighbor aunt.

But in junior high school, my neighbor’s aunt’s son’s grades continued to fall, and it was useless to send thousands of dollars to the cram school. And Xu Can skipped grades to go to high school.

Every time is the first, countless first.

Grandma finally realized that the neighbors’ words were not casually flattering and playing, but that the granddaughter was really good at studying, and she could go to college, a college student.

So she never let her do housework again, and scolded her when she saw her touching the broom.

To serve her rice, a bowl of white rice has to be compacted, afraid that she will be hungry, and she will come to pick her up from school and bring her something to eat on the road.

The bus stops at seven stops and walks for another ten minutes. Xu Can originally came home by himself in the third grade.

Xu Can knew from a very young age that it was true that grandma liked her and loved her, but there were conditions.

After dinner, turn on the TV and tune to the news station. In the advertisement, it is said that gifts are not given in the New Year.

Grandma’s brows immediately wrinkled, her face pulled down, and she said unhappily, “The little one is back, and the old one is still hiding outside. Poor, your father, there is a home where you can’t go back.”

Xu Can: “…”

She didn’t speak, but already guessed what she was going to say next.

Sure enough, the old lady turned her head, looked at her face and sighed.

“Your dad loved you so much when you were young, but now that you’re older, you can’t help him? My grandfather and I are getting old, and if you don’t hold back you, you’re just a dad, can’t you help him? ”

Xu Can said: “The thousands of dollars I made this year, after paying the tuition fees, the rest will be transferred to your passbook, grandma.”

The old lady continued to sigh: “Grandma knows that you are not conscience.”

Instead, he said: “Have you talked about boyfriends? We talked about people you can bring your family to eat. Are there any locals from our side in the school? If you choose a target, you need to keep your eyes open, not the poor family. ”

Xu Can said lightly, “Grandma, our family is a poor family.”

“…”

The old lady was choked by her, and she frowned and said, “Your elementary school classmate, Fangfang, who used to live in the park, remember? At the banquet just held not long ago, the man gave the little one million as a dowry. So many money.”

Xu Can has a group of elementary school classmates, and there are even classmates who are parents.

Most of her classmates dropped out of the primary school for children of migrant workers. Except for her, no one seemed to be admitted to high school. But there are also some families who do business and become rich.

Xu Can kindly added information to her grandmother: “Fangfang’s mother then added another 500,000 yuan, all of which were used as dowry. She also accompanied her family with a car, and the bare car is only a few hundred thousand.”

old lady:”…”

She glared at Xu Can, waved her hand and said, “Fangfang, that girl is ugly, how can she marry without a dowry! You are different.”

Xu Can said lightly: “Yes, as long as others don’t think I’m a poor girl.”

“It’s not three or four…” The old lady’s face was as long as a horse’s face, “Don’t talk nonsense, your dad has been messing around a bit over the years. He used to be a carpenter, and he didn’t make a polite cry. Master’s.”

Ad ends. Xu Can watched the news and did not continue talking to her.

Her father really did a good job as a carpenter in the past. In the early years, the family was not worried about money, but he liked to gamble and drink. The reputation was not good in the first place. After the furniture factory developed, it replaced most of the carpenter’s work.

Picking up has become difficult. Xu Qingguo can still get jobs, but he is too lazy to continue doing this kind of work that requires more money and less money.

He and his friends went to the factory to the construction site and ran long-distance trucks. He didn’t do anything for long, and he lost money in small business. Slowly he turned into a lazy old man.

Far and near smelly.

After Xu Can stayed at home for a few days, she heard more and more complaints from her grandmother, complaining that she, a college student, did not find a way for her family. Urging her to talk about friends, inside and out, she wants her to find a rich man to marry, so that the old Xu family can flourish.

Xu Can stayed at home feeling depressed.

But as long as she opened her mouth and indicated that she wanted to leave early, grandma would immediately show a pitiful expression, blaming herself and scolding grandpa for being annoying for coughing.

Xu Can could not walk away.

When I regret being asked what day the school starts, I shouldn’t tell the truth.

After she finished eating, she was afraid that her grandmother would drag her to talk again, and she used the excuse of going out for a walk to digest her food.

Hide in the small park where you used to play.

The park is full of flowers and plants, and the fitness equipment is still what I remember, a little old. The others didn’t seem to have changed at all, and even the children who were playing were very similar to those who played with her back then.

Xu Can sat next to him, in a daze, listening to the people around him chatting eagerly in dialect.

“Eh.”

“Hey, I just went downstairs and didn’t see your mumbling.”

Xu Can had an early dinner at home. At this time, it was not completely dark, and many adults came back after picking up their children. Those who went to school directly took them home to do their homework, and those who were in kindergarten could still play in the park for a while.

In front of her line of sight, there is a little girl in a pink padded jacket, with a round face, white skin, and a red circle on her cheeks. Very cute.

Xu Can looked at her, and she also looked at Xu Can curiously for a few seconds.

But he quickly turned his eyes away and was no longer interested. He pulled his father, who was talking to the neighbor, and said, “Hold!”

“Hey,” the old aunt laughed and teased her, “I’m almost seven years old and still need an adult to hold me? Haven’t grown up yet?”

The little girl cocked her mouth, turned her face away not very happy, and didn’t look at her.

Her father bent down, put his arm around her leg and hugged her, and put the other arm around her waist. The little girl hooked his neck familiarly, her fleshy chin resting on her shoulders.

The two didn’t chat for a while.

The little girl was not very happy again, and kicked her dad: “Go…”

“Nennan are leaving?” The man smiled at her submissively.

Said to the neighbor, “Then let’s go up first, the Ming Dynasty will meet.”

“Tomorrow meeting.”

The man walked a few steps away with his daughter in his arms, and said with a smile, “Why are you in such a hurry to go home? Are you sleepy? Daddy hugs her, go to sleep first.”

“Do not…”

“Are you hungry? Didn’t you have enough food? Would you like to eat the baked potatoes at the stall outside?”

“Do not.”

Out of the park, the voice gradually fades…

“Do you like Dad or not?”

“No…” Jiaojiao.

Xu Can was teased by the little girl’s three consecutive “no” words, making the corners of his lips curved.

Immediately, his eyes became hot.
