chapter 04.

"Where do you live? Ask your family to pick you up." Even if the girl stood up, she was much shorter than Cheng Yu. When she lowered her head, she could see the soft top of her hair.

"I can walk back, it won't take long." Xue Youka underestimated the various complications after surgery. It took him 40 minutes to walk from home, and the doctor's order told him not to walk until the stitches were removed.

If I had known it would hurt so much that day, I wouldn’t have borrowed the money!

Cheng Yu saw that the girl was limping and walking slowly, like a turtle crawling. She looked very pitiful. He frowned and closed the door directly.

Cheng Yu went upstairs. The wind was a bit strong. He closed the curtains and stood in front of the window and looked down again.

It was pitch dark outside, and the moonlight tonight was surprisingly weak. In the dark forest, the child he had driven away could no longer be seen.

Xue Youka didn't dare to walk on the trails after dark. There were graves everywhere in the countryside. He didn't even bring a flashlight, so how could he dare to walk on the trails alone.

The sky was completely dark, and Xue Youka was walking while holding on to her skirt. Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in front of her eyes.

A car was coming. He stood by the roadside, waiting for the car to pass by.

Uncle Wei hurried home and drove very fast. He saw a little girl walking in front of him in the distance. He took off the accelerator and dropped the speed to 10 miles. When he got close to the child, Uncle Wei turned his head and glanced sideways.

Huh.

He stopped the car and took a few steps back.

"Kid, why is it you?" Uncle Wei opened the automatic window, "Why are you walking outside alone so late?"

Xue Youka's vision was a little blurry after experiencing the strong light. He looked intently for a few seconds and recognized: "Hey! Uncle!"

"Hahaha, it's me, why are you here alone? Do you live near here?"

"No." He shook his head, "My family doesn't live here, but on the other side of the river. I'm here to pay back the money."

"Pay back the money?"

There were two other people sitting in the car. At this moment, Uncle Wei was not interrupting his conversation with the children on the side of the road. Cheng Ziwei in the back seat took a few more curious glances.

Xue Youka told everything, saying that he met the brother yesterday afternoon and he asked him to pay back the money. He didn't have time yesterday and only had time to come today. When he arrived, he found no one at home, so he waited.

a while.

Uncle Wei opened his mouth when he heard this. He could use his toes to figure out what happened. They left after lunch. The kid didn't know how long he had been waiting in front of his house. Cheng Yu must have gone back. The kid put

After paying back the money, Cheng Yu let him go.

"Are you going all this way just to pay back a dollar?" Uncle Wei had to re-examine this girl who looked a little younger than Cheng Yu.

"Of course, one cannot break one's word."

"Then you get in the car and wait for your uncle to take you home."

"No need, uncle, I..."

"Come up quickly." As soon as Uncle Wei finished speaking, the door of the back seat opened.

Xue Youka looked inside and saw a young man sitting inside. The boy smiled friendly at him: "Come up."

In the car, Uncle Wei gave a rough explanation of what happened that day: "This little girl was injured that day and was crying on the bridge. I met her and offered to take her home, but she refused, so I lent her a dollar to sit on the bridge.

the bus."

Grandpa, who was sitting in the passenger seat, finally understood the whole story. He said it was no wonder. How could his grandson know the local children when he came back to Shanling County for the first time? But it is very rare for a child to be so trustworthy.

, his grandfather praised him several times in the car, saying that he would become a great person when he grew up.

I was embarrassed to say that to Xue Youka.

"Then how long have you been waiting outside?"

"It didn't take long...just for a while. I wanted to leave, but then I heard someone talking inside, so I didn't leave."

"Someone talking?"

"Someone just sneezed."

Hearing this, Uncle Wei and Grandpa laughed and explained that this was the parrot at home.

Xue Youka opened his eyes slightly and touched his nose a little depressed.

As a result, Cheng Ziwei suddenly said: "Cheng Yu is really good. He has to argue with his little sister for a dollar."

Grandpa glanced at him and said, "I teased her because she was cute." Grandpa could probably think of the reason.

Cheng Yu originally had a perverse temper. He teased the child yesterday, but who knew that the child would come to pay back the money today. Moreover, there was no notice at all when Cheng Ziwei came today. They went to play in the city of Qingzhou and did not receive a call until they were halfway there.

, saying that Cheng Yu's cousin Ziwei was here, and he came specially to the countryside of Qingzhou to accompany him to recuperate.

Unable to do so, Weibo could only temporarily drive to Beihai to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, the flight was delayed and Cheng Yu was forced to wait at the airport. He was not a patient person and was not interested in the drama of brothers and sisters. After waiting for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore and took a taxi to leave.

So when Cheng Yu came back, he probably had a powder keg, and he didn't look good on the little girl.

The car arrived outside grandpa's yard and stopped. Uncle Wei got out of the car and opened the door for the back seat. Then he helped Cheng Ziwei pick up the suitcase: "Master Ziwei, the room hasn't been packed for you yet. I'll send the child back later."

You clean it up."

"It's okay, Uncle Wei." Cheng Ziwei smiled politely, "I can clean up the room myself, so I won't bother you anymore."

Uncle Wei said, "Let me help you carry your luggage in first." After that, he said to Xue Youka, "Kid, please wait for uncle for a while. Come in, sit down, and eat some biscuits."

"No, uncle, I can sit in the car and wait."

Cheng Ziwei bent down and looked at him and said: "You're welcome, come in and play for a while, I brought some delicious food. Are you a local? What is there to do here?"

This brother is better than the one just now.

Xue Youka thought.

"There's...nothing interesting here." He thought for a moment, "I have a tea field at home where we can hide and seek."

Cheng Ziwei nodded and said he would play some other time.

Soon, Uncle Wei put away his luggage and took out a few packages of biscuits and snacks for Xue Youka.

He drove Xue Youka away.

Cheng Ziwei entered the door, changed his shoes, and then asked: "Grandpa, which room should I stay in?"

Chu Jin had no choice but to take him to the vacant room on the second floor. He knew that his grandson and Cheng Ziwei would not get along. Although they were brothers, Cheng Ziwei was only two months older than Cheng Yu, and their relationship was no better than that of ordinary brothers. Like the Cheng family.

The richest man

There must be overt and covert fighting between brothers. If Cheng Yu doesn't like him, he just doesn't like him and doesn't bother to pretend. But Cheng Ziwei always likes to play the role of a good brother, especially in front of his elders. He is like a performer.

.

Cheng Ziwei went to knock on the door next door.

"Is something wrong?" The door opened a crack.

He smiled and said: "Cheng Yu, I just arrived and moved to the room next to yours. I just happened to come and see you."

"Yeah." It means you have said hello.

Cheng Yu was about to close the door when Cheng Ziwei said again: "By the way, when I just came back, I met an injured girl. She said she was here to pay you back."

Cheng Ziwei sighed: "How pitiful, I was scared to tears by you."

Cheng Yu closed the door completely.

Cheng Ziwei, who was blocked from the door, touched his nose: "Really, I have no empathy at all."

When Xue Youka arrived home, his grandparents had all gone to bed, and he ducked back into the room quietly.

In the early morning, after getting up and having breakfast, he followed his grandfather to play in the orchard.

I said it was just for fun, but actually I was helping to cut lychees and peaches.

Shanling County is rich in lychees, and the Xue family has also planted some. In addition to lychees, there are also several peach trees planted in the orchard. There is also a huge fig tree in the yard. Xue Youka's small base has his tree house and

Swings, and a seesaw made for him by his grandfather.

Before moving to the county seat, this is where Xue Youka spent his childhood.

"Mimi, Pihu came to play with you!"

Xue Youka immediately jumped up from the swing and started shouting from a distance: "Hey! Hey!! Tiger skin!"

Hupi, whose nickname is Pihu, lives in the next door yard. He is Xue Youka's childhood friend and is the same age as him.

The moment Hupi saw him, he was stunned for a moment. His eyes, which were squeezed smaller and smaller by the increasingly swollen face, stayed on him for several seconds, as if it was incredible. After that, he laughed: "Xue Youka

, you are really wearing a skirt! I heard my mother say it, and I still don’t believe it!”

"roll--!"

Xue Youka was wearing a black umbrella skirt today, with two bows tied on the shoulders. The gauze of the skirt had been damaged - it was a skirt that cousin Fang Liqing didn't want, and it was a bit too small for him. Xue Youka took a picture in the morning

Looking at the mirror, I don't feel as girly as I thought, plus the skirt is more comfortable than pants, and it's in my own home with no outsiders, so I don't have any worries.

Who knew Tiger Skin was coming.

He also laughed at himself.

"Why are you laughing? Don't laugh!"

Hupi stopped laughing, straightened up after a while, coughed and glanced at him sheepishly and said, "It's quite... pretty... If you had long hair, I wouldn't even dare to look at you."
