What a beautiful Sunday morning, with clear skies and birds singing, flowers fragrant... Ah, got sidetracked.
The three siblings of the Zhou family set off from home on time.
Before leaving, Zhou Guoqiang repeatedly reminded the eldest, Dabao: "Dabao, you're the oldest, you must take care of your sister and brother. Did you hear? After buying books at Xinhua Bookstore, come back immediately, don't linger in the city."
As a parent, who wouldn't worry about their children? If it weren't for the presence of his 13-year-old eldest child, he would not have felt at ease letting Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiao Bao go to Xinhua Bookstore.
Da Bao's growth spurt was extremely fast, already nearly 1.7 meters tall at the age of thirteen, and from a distance he looked like a big boy. His sturdy physique made him more than a match for two or three of his classmates.
The big treasure carelessly sat on the morning bus and gestured to the little treasure sitting in the car seat: "Dad, don't worry! I'll take care of them."
Zhou Guoqiang thought to himself: as long as you don't take those two out to cause trouble.
Three siblings rode two bicycles, leisurely wandering along the way. Since there was plenty of time, they didn't need to rush at all. The Xinhua Bookstore was located between Qiming Middle School and Yingming Middle School, so Dabao was very familiar with the road, no need to worry about getting lost.
There is only one wide road leading from several nearby villages to the county town, so it's not strange at all to meet a few familiar people on the road.
Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and greeted the third villager who was riding a bicycle past. She muttered to herself, it seems like many people are going to the city!
There are more job opportunities in the city, and I heard that many people go to work as temporary workers for others.
Get paid by the day, so this
Most of them on the road are migrant workers coming into the city for work.
Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiao Bao were talking when they suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting from behind, "Zhou Xiaoyun, wait for us!"
Huh? Isn't this Li Tianyu's voice?
Zhou Xiaoyun turned her head and saw that it was indeed Li Tianyu and Gu Chun who were riding their bicycles over.
What a small world! We see each other every day at school, but how did we run into each other on the street this Sunday?
Zhou Xiaoyun didn't want to bother with him, but she couldn't bear to hurt someone who was smiling at her. Besides, after more than a year of being classmates, it wouldn't do to make things too awkward for him, so she said: "You guys are going to the city too!"
Li Tianyu was delighted with this unexpected encounter, and as soon as he saw what looked like Zhou Xiaoyun's back in the distance, he urged Gu Chun to come and ride their bicycles together to catch up. As they drew closer, it turned out to be Zhou Xiaoyun after all, which made him very happy, and he shouted loudly.
Now seeing Zhou Xiaoyun gave a good face, Li Yu was even more pleased: "Yes, what did you siblings go to the city for?"
Zhou Xiaoyun's brother Li Tianyu is familiar with everyone, Dabao has come to find him before, and he has a deep impression of her. As soon as school is over, Xiao Bao stands at the door of the classroom waiting for Zhou Xiaoyun to go home together, and Li Tianyu has seen it many times.
"Go to Xinhua Bookstore."
Li Tianyu exclaimed: "What a coincidence! I and Gu 'Spring' are also going to the Xinhua Bookstore. Let's go together."
Good!
Regardless of whether the three siblings were happy or not, Li Tianyu directly started driving alongside Zhou Xiaoyun's car.
Gu 'Spring' came over with a stuffy smile and rode his bike behind, what else could he do? Can't say "Yes, we're going to the Xinhua Bookstore side, but our destination is not Xinhua Bookstore but a row of game consoles nearby!"
Qiming Middle School and Yingming Middle School have a relatively prosperous street, after all, it's doing business with students, so in addition to bookstores, clothing stores, barber shops, gift shops, there are many game rooms on that street, attracting many gamers.
After Guo 'Chun' came and went twice, he took Li Tianyu to play together. For one yuan, you can buy more than a dozen game console cards that can be played for half a day. Those with high skills can't finish playing the game console cards in one day.
What 12 or 13-year-old boy doesn't love playing video games? Especially since it's so easy to get addicted, many kids have abandoned their studies because of gaming.
Li Tianyu is one of them, and Zhou Xiaoyun knows about Li Tianyu's history. When they were dating, she often heard Li Tianyu bragging about his gaming console history, which can be traced back to elementary school. Later, when he got to middle school, he still loved playing games, resulting in poor grades, so after graduating from middle school, he didn't continue studying.
I guess today and Gu 'Spring' went to the county town should be going to the game console room!
Zhou Xiaoyun coldly observed the interaction between Li Yu and Gu 'Spring' squeezing their eyebrows and eyes, and finally spoke up: "You two want to go play video games, right?"
"How did you know?"
Wait until Li Tian
Yu glared at him and only reacted when he said "spring": "No way, don't talk nonsense. Li Tianyu and I are going to Xinhua Bookstore to buy composition books."
Li Tianyu nodded desperately in agreement: "Right, right, we're going to buy composition books."
A pair of eyes that are not in the heart, Li Tianyu always blinks vigorously when telling lies, which is a very familiar action to Zhou Xiaoyun. She remembers that when she was with Li Tianyu before, as long as Li Tianyu didn't tell the truth, she could immediately see through it, so much so that Li Tianyu secretly wondered how he couldn't escape her sharp eyes.
Now thinking back, there is still a lingering palpitation in my heart, after all they spent so much time together!
Zhou Xiaoyun, lost in thought, was startled by the loud horn of the truck in front and quickly regained her composure, for it's truly not safe to be distracted while riding a bike on the road.
"Go back to what we were talking about earlier: 'Don't worry, I won't go tell Teacher Fang on you.'" She really likes to tattle to the teacher.
Li Tianyu looked at Zhou Xiaoyun's disbelieving profile and suddenly felt that his behavior seemed somewhat inappropriate...
"We're not really going to play video games, don't believe me? Wait and see, I'll definitely go with Gu Chun into the Xinhua Bookstore together with you guys." Li Tianyu decided to go to the Xinhua Bookstore with Zhou Xiaoyun and her brother.
What's with the game console? Let's talk about it later!
Gu thought it was unpleasant, but didn't dare to mention her opposition. This week, Xiaoyun said nice things, but what if the two of them went into the game room in front of her and she secretly told Teacher Fang about it?
Alright, die together
Gentleman, go to Xinhua Bookstore!
Zhou Xiaoyun kept thinking about this question in her mind: Should she take the opportunity to advise Li Tianyu?
For a year and a half, Zhou Xiaoyun discovered that Li Tianyu was actually very smart. Although he seemed careless and sloppy, he picked up everything quickly. Unfortunately, his nature was similar to Dabao's, being fond of playing and not putting his mind on studying at all. If Li Tianyu could study seriously, his grades should also be good.
Now she knows that Li Tianyu is starting to get hooked on playing video games, should she advise him to stop before it's too late? Even if she doesn't want to have anything to do with him, she still doesn't want him to go down the same old path again!
Zhou Xiaoyun sincerely hopes that Li Tianyu will not waste his studies like in his previous life and achieve nothing.
No matter what, he was once the most loved and important person in her life...
