Peach Branch Bubbles - Chapter 32

The lights in the community are dim, and the ground lamps on the small road in the small garden not far in front are like a series of fluorescent candles, and the autumn leaves are cut out under the street lamps.

Jiang Qihuai turned against the light and paused when Tao Zhi raised his head to see her expression clearly.

The little girl squatted at the door with her arms in her arms, her dark eyes were moisturized in the light, her eyelids were a little red, but her eyes were looking at him clearly.

The boy appeared unexpectedly. Tao Zhi looked at him and obviously didn’t react too much: “Why are you here.”

She has a dumb voice.

Jiang Qihuai lifted his chin in the direction of the row of detached houses inside: “My tutor is here.”

Tao Zhi reacted slowly with “Oh”.

When I saw him at the convenience store at the door last time, he seemed to have said that he would be a tutor here, but he didn’t expect it to be a community.

She raised her hand and glanced at her watch: “It’s almost ten o’clock, why are you leaving get out of class so late.”

“In the holidays, the parents added a class hour.” Jiang Qihuai said.

Tao Zhi nodded again, his reaction somewhat dull.

Jiang Qihuai didn’t say anything again and didn’t leave.

Two people didn’t say one, and the other didn’t ask. They just squatted at the gate of the courtyard to blow the air, and no one spoke for a while.

Tao Zhi suddenly felt that there was actually some tacit understanding between her and Jiang Qihuai.

For example, he also had many things hit by Tao Zhi, she would not ask.

He won’t either.

For Jiang Qihuai, these things may not be a big deal, but in Tao Zhi’s view, this is probably a moment of mutual embarrassment.

It is completely different from being in school.

And these moments, only each other knows.

This recognition made Tao Zhi feel a little bit better from the moment he entered the house.

The emotions just calmed down little by little. Tao Zhi later realized that it was a little cold. She sniffed, “Then have you eaten yet.”

“Not yet,” Jiang Qihuai looked at her, “Can’t find a home?”

Tao Zhi raised his hand and pointed behind him.

Jiang Qihuai glanced back and said half-truth: “I thought you were going out for a night run and got lost at the door of your house.” He looked at her and paused, “I don’t wear a coat yet, I’m in good physique.”

Tao Zhi curled his lips: “His Royal Highness, don’t be so poisonous. I was just planning to invite you in for dinner.”

Jiang Qihuai nodded: “Now.”

“Now,” Tao Zhi took a deep breath, stood up, squatted for too long, and her legs were a little numb. She leaned against the iron door and rubbed her numb calf with one hand on her knees. “Want to come?”

Jiang Qihuai took out his phone and glanced at the time.

It’s almost ten o’clock.

“No,” he stood up, eyes drooping, “wait for something to eat.”

Tao Zhi pondered that he could eat something casually, probably just like the last time he went to the convenience store to buy a boxed rice ball or something to eat.

“All right,” she jumped in place twice, “wait for me.”

She turned around and pushed open the courtyard door and ran in, ran into the house quickly, pulled a jacket on the entrance of the hallway, and ran out again.

Jiang Qihuai didn’t leave, standing at the door with his hands down, waiting for her with drooping eyes, looking inexplicably obedient.

She walked over and he raised his eyes.

Tao Zhi raised his hand and pointed forward, striding forward, “Let’s go, Xiaoye is in a bad mood today, please have dinner.”

Said it was dinner, most restaurants at this point have stopped picking up customers.

But Tao Zhi is a night owl. He often ran out in the middle of the night to eat and drink with Song Jiang and the others. He knew what delicious restaurants would be closed at what time.

I walked along the street for about ten minutes after exiting the gate of the community, turning into a small alley and passing through the alley, which is an old-fashioned residential building.

Jiang Qihuai followed her around like this. The light in the old residential area was very dim, and the street lights rang out from time to time. The vermilion wall was peeled off and mottled. Scrapped bicycles were piled on the side of the wall.

The cat was lying in the old cardboard box, heard the voice lazily raising his head, and squinted at it.

Tao Zhi walked next to Jiang Qihuai and pointed to an old house next to him, and said, “My house used to live in this house, but it was later sold and moved to the place where I live now. When I was young, Ji Fan and I were in the building. Get out of this bicycle shed to play hide-and-seek and fight with neighbors’ children. No one can beat us.”

“If those children lose the fight, they will just go home and cry, and then the neighbors and aunts will come to our house to find my mother,” Tao Zhi continued, “My mother never scolds me, nor does the neighbors and aunts. I care about this with girls, anyway, no matter what happens, it’s Ji Fan’s fault.”

Until later, Tao Xiuping and Ji Jin were about to separate. Tao Zhi went to bed early that night and woke up in the middle of the night. She felt hungry and wanted to go downstairs to see if there was something to eat.

She walked out of the room lightly, and when she passed the master bedroom, she heard Tao Xiuping and Ji Jin talking.

“The child Zhizhi has always been sensible, and don’t have to worry about grades or anything. I’m relieved to take care of her.” Ji Jin said gently.

Tao Xiuping was silent for a while before he said in a dumb voice: “Zhizhi is a girl, and I will be taken care of with my mother a little bit more carefully. I don’t know how to take care of others, and compared to my dad who I have not seen several times a year, she I like you more. She is also big now. I think we need to ask her, Xiao Fan, and respect their opinions.”

Ji Jin sighed: “But Xiaofan is different from Zhizhi. Since childhood, he has been uneasy. I can’t rest assured if I don’t look at him personally. I must take him with him.”

Tao Zhi stood at the door for a long time that night.

Afterwards, Ji Jin and Tao Xiuping said something, she couldn’t hear it and didn’t remember. She kept standing, listening to the sound of their communication and slowly stopped, and the whole house fell into silence again.

She went back to the room, closed the door, lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze without crying.

Ji Jin worked very hard to achieve a level of water. She has two children. For ten years, she has shared her love with them equally, without letting any child feel that she is not loved.

Tao Zhi didn’t know if it was because naughty children were more likely to be favored, but only then did she understand that in fact, even if you already want to do a lot of things, you always have a steelyard in your heart. It is very clear and cruel, marking everyone’s position and weight in your heart.

And this kind of weight, only when facing parting, you can’t deceive yourself.

Tao Zhi told Jiang Qihuai a lot of things from her childhood. She seemed to have memories in every corner of the wall that she passed by. Jiang Qihuai didn’t speak much, so he listened quietly when she said, and occasionally responded.

They crossed the community and walked to the street. The road in front of them was lit up. There were row upon row of small shops on both sides, each with lights on, and most of them were eating. There were snack trucks on both sides of the street, one after another, almost completely crowded. Passable place.

The night is deep, but the whole street is as bright as day.

Jiang Qihuai followed Tao Zhi through the crowd, and walked to a barbecue restaurant at the end.

The store is small and the business is very good. Only the innermost small table is empty. The boss walks among the diners, joking and chatting with them from time to time, and it seems that they have a close relationship.

As soon as Tao Zhi entered the door, the boss saw her and waved to her: “Little Tao Zhi is here. I haven’t seen you for a long time.” He glanced at Jiang Qihuai who came in behind Tao Zhi, “Bring friends. What about Xiao Song? Why didn’t he come today.”

“I didn’t ask him, take my friend to eat something.” Tao Zhi walked in with a smile, and sat down at the innermost table, while Jiang Qihuai sat opposite her.

Tao Zhi took the menu from the boss and handed it to Jiang Qihuai. Without reading his own copy, he snapped his fingers and snapped a bunch of them.

After ordering, she turned her head and said, “Do you want a staple food? Their fried Niuhe is very delicious.”

Jiang Qihuai nodded and looked at the shop owner: “Let’s have a fried rice.”

Tao Zhi: “…”

Tao Zhi rolled his eyes towards the ceiling.

The shop owner laughed: “This young man is very interesting. Don’t worry, my fried rice is also delicious. You sit and wait for a while.”

Tao Zhi turned around, drew two bottles of beer from the beer box behind him, and handed over a bottle: “Barbecue is to go with beer.”

Jiang Qihuai took it, put it on the table and pushed forward: “There will be a tutor tomorrow.”

Tao Zhi opened his bottle: “There will be tomorrow too? Then isn’t this class only in the evening.”

“I have English in the morning.”

“It’s really a simultaneous teaching of nine homework,” Tao Zhi took an empty glass and poured a glass of beer out, “How many tutors do you have to attend?”

“On these two,” Jiang Qihuai said, “there will be extra hours for classes during the holidays.”

Tao Zhi took a sip of beer, raised his head, and looked at him: “His Royal Highness, why are you so short of money?”

“Don’t ask the question of why not eat meat,” Jiang Qihuai also looked at her, “Why don’t you go out and run at night without a coat?”

A city like Jiangqihuai can be ranked first or two, and schools will definitely be rushing to ask for it. The bursary is estimated to be free of tuition without application. In addition, the experiment is considered to be wealthy, and the amount of the top scholarship is not low. He usually learns teaching supplementary materials and even basic living expenses are probably enough.

Even if the conditions at home were not particularly good, he wouldn’t have to fight like that.

Unless there is any other reason.

Tao Zhi didn’t ask any more, the subtle and indifferent wall of tacit understanding between the two people was pushed and swayed twice, and then continued to stand steadily.

The food came quickly, Tao Zhilu skewers, Jiang Qihuai ate fried rice, he seemed not interested in meat, and preferred grilled vegetables.

The two bottles of beer that Tao Zhi took all went into her stomach. She drank a lot faster today than usual. When she reacted, she had already started to drink.

She held her chin and looked at the person opposite, and began to talk to him: “Jiang Qihuai, do you regret turning to the experiment?”

Jiang Qihuai took the spoon: “Why?”

Tao Zhi tilted his head and thought for a while and said, “For example, the teaching quality of the experiment is indeed a little bit worse than that of the attached middle school.”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s the same everywhere.” Jiang Qihuai’s tone was flat.

Tao Zhikuo wrote and translated his sentence.

—It doesn’t matter, where the first place is always the same test.

Tao Zhi raised his hand and pointed to himself: “It’s also like, I met a troublesome person.”

Jiang Qihuai glanced at her, and then at the two bottles of beer that were already empty in front of her.

The little girl looked at the same place as usual, her dark eyes raised slightly, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, her fingertips on her cheeks and tapping.

The eyelids are red.

It was the first time Jiang Qihuai saw someone drank a drink and got red eyelids.

Before Li Shuangjiang’s birthday, he listened to the rhetoric she put out, and thought that the amount of alcohol was good, and the result was only two bottles.

His eyes fell on her fingertips, and he said something, a few people walked in noisily at the door of the store, their voices were loud, and it drowned his words, Tao Zhi couldn’t hear him clearly.

She leaned forward curiously, the tip of her tongue was already numb under the influence of the alcohol, and asked vaguely: “What did you say?”

The boys walked in at the door, and one of them recognized her and called her: “Tao Zhi?”

Tao Zhi turned his head.

The man grew up to be that kind of stiff and handsome, wearing silver earrings, a black jacket, and his clothes were all brand-name logos from head to toe, just like a walking RMB.

Renminbi walked to their table and confirmed at a close distance that it was indeed her.

“Why don’t you answer my call?” Renminbi said blankly.

Tao Zhi looked blank: “What phone?”

“What call?” Renminbi looked at her in disbelief, “I’ve called you more than fifty **** calls, more than fifty!”

Tao Zhi thought for a while, and said seriously, “That might be because I blacked you out.”

“Fuck you—” Renminbi was so angry that she was about to choke over her face, facing the girl with an innocent look, and couldn’t speak for a while.

The porcelain spoon and the plate on the opposite side collided with each other, making a faint and crisp sound. The RMB turned to the side and saw Jiang Qihuai on the opposite side.

He smiled directly and pointed to Jiang Qihuai and asked: “You wanted to easily dump Lao Tzu when you broke up, but in two months, you changed to a new one?”

His words are very informative, Jiang Qihuai raised his head: “Ex-boyfriend?”

The question was smooth, but Tao Zhi had some guilty conscience inexplicably. She whispered: “We broke up, we broke up.”

“More than fifty calls,” Jiang Qihuai accused her, “Little has no conscience.”

“Where am I having no conscience?” Tao Zhi mumbled dissatisfiedly, “Didn’t we all break up…”

If there is no one there, you say one thing to one another. The renminbi was completely ignored. He was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He raised his hand to provoke someone: “You unilaterally said that you want to break up and I agree? Tao Zhi, you come out and we have a good chat. chat.”

The sleeves of Tao Zhi’s clothes were torn, and he blinked his eyes half-beat slowly. The RMB was not strong enough, and her arm was lifted softly, and she stood up.

Jiang Qihuai looked at her pulled sleeve and asked calmly, “Are you going?”

Tao Zhi finally reacted with hindsight, and withdrew his hand back, looking dazed: “No, there is nothing to talk about.”

Jiang Qihuai’s chair slid backwards, stood up and stood silently between the two people.

Tao Zhi stepped back a bit along the way, hiding himself behind the boy, grabbing the cloth on his back with his fingers, and only poked his head out.

Renmin looked at him and said patiently, “Brother, I am her ex-boyfriend. I didn’t plan to do anything, so I just wanted to talk to her.”

He didn’t look like a bad person, and he spoke politely, in a discussing tone.

Jiang Qihuai nodded, and looked at him: “The person came out with me, and I have to watch the original and send it back. Even if you are still a boyfriend, you have to wait until she wakes up to beg me. “
