The Road Home - Chapter 5

That said, the odds are great.

Gui Xiao’s heart is strong, and he hasn’t tweaked anymore, he has taken over the club.

Billiard cue is also about feel.

She likes a heavier cue and has strength in her hands. Lu Chen picked this one for her.

Lu Chen didn’t pay much attention to herself. It was estimated that she really wanted to get her, took the one closest to him, held her right hand, pulled out the billiard ball from the bag, and threw it to the table. The crowd sat here for an afternoon, and did not see Lu Chen having any fun to play. Suddenly came out like this and gathered together with interest.

The screen of the window was sucked out by the wind, and brought in by the wind, holding the empty chair he had just sat.

Gui Xiao walked around the table half a circle: “I drive?”

“Of course,” Haidong answered for Lu Chen. “Brother Chen has let you get here, will he not let you kick off?”

Gui Xiao narrowed her lower lip, leaned down, and narrowed her eyes to aim. Pulling his hand backwards, slamming it out, making a slamming sound, hitting the Grand Canal, one shot went straight to sack three balls.

A few drop-outs behind him sighed admirably: “Great!”

Haidong handed a cigarette and shoved it between Lu Chen’s lips: “You want to lose to my auntie.”

Lu Chen bit the unlit cigarette, swiped along the edge of the pool table with his right hand, and came back with a dark green putty. He struck the club head twice and smiled: “Is it possible?”

Unfortunately, after the start of the bag, the remaining ball position is not good.

She didn’t make it in the second shot.

When it’s Lu Chen’s turn, she won’t have a chance to hit the ball again. Only when there were only white and black 8 **** left, Meng Xiaoshan couldn’t stand it: “Brother Chen, don’t bully our family so much.”

Everyone followed suit, let Lu Chen let go of water. But a few girls are not very good at talking, muttering that they are left-handed and one-handed, what? Just let Gui Xiao throw it into the bag with his hands.

Lu Chen did not insist on the idea of ​​winning. He leaned his hands on the edge of the dark-brown, snooker pool table, leaned down, looked at her, and asked with a smile on his mouth, “Would you let me?”

“No.” Gui Xiao was even more embarrassed when asked. He put the cue on the shelf and voluntarily conceded.

Lu Chen didn’t say much. He struck out with one shot, and the ball almost flew towards the pocket and dropped.

Won.

It was n’t a disastrous defeat by the number of goals, but she was left with one hand and she tied her hands upside down to win.

Gui Xiao lost completely, lost face, rubbed the sweat from his hands, and used the excuse to buy something in the town’s boutique and ran out. The aunt with the kebabs had no business. They fanned the charcoal stove with a fan at random, and the young men and girls squatting outside the billiard hall looked like a lively flirtation.

Gui Xiao drove the car lock and hurried up, screaming “ah” and jumped down again.

The seat was burnt to death, and I forgot to stop in the shade …

The little young men who flirted with the girl laughed, Gui Xiao glanced back, and saw Lu Chen also come out, kicking the boy who squatted at the door to block the road. “Brother Chen, are you gone?” The boy grinned and moved two steps to the side. Lu Chen nodded, pushed out the unlocked mountain bike beside the door, and stepped on.

In the dazzling sunlight, the cyclist swept past her, and turned a corner and disappeared.

That night, after the dawn, I knew and felt that I had a reaction. These days are the college entrance examinations. Lu Chen should be in the examination room instead of the billiard hall? She turned around on the phone and asked Meng Xiaoshan to ask Meng Xiaoshan. Meng Xiaoshan did not notice her careful thoughts, and told her that something had happened at the home of Lu Chen the day before, and it was resolved in the afternoon the next day. An exam.

I guess it’s either repeating or picking up his dad’s auto repair shop.

In this school, things like dropouts are common and repeating is not a big deal. Meng Xiaoshan spoke in a light tone, and Xiao Xiao in Gui Xiao’s heart became more and more serious: Repeat it again and repeat it. This is an alumni again.

Unfortunately, after school, she didn’t see him in the third year of high school. She thought, maybe she really went to pick up the auto repair shop as a small land owner. Gui Xiao had no friendship with him, and naturally there would be no intersection, but thinking of the name Lu Chen, his heart was always empty.

Until the end of winter, one day, he rode past the small pancake stall at the school gate and saw him and Haidong squatting there, chatting with the pancake stall. Haidong shouted when Gui Xiaoyan looked over his head in surprise, “Little aunt, come, brother, please have pancakes.”

Gui Xiao braked abruptly and almost fell into a pine tree covered with snow …

Lu Chen put her palm against her handlebar: “Just a little.”

Gui Xiao’s ears rumbled with his own rapid breathing, but he jumped down calmly. Lu Chenshun helped her take the small bike to the pancake stall and hold it. Haidong greeted her and asked her to add a pancake to her: “Look at my auntie, she’s skinny, two eggs, pick the big one.”

Grandma agreed, picked up a large powdered shell egg, broke it, and sprinkled the cake.

Gui Xiao put her hands in her pockets and waited for her pancakes.

There are many propaganda stickers on the glass around the car, the kind of gray that can’t be cleaned. She inadvertently looked through the glass, saw him holding his bicycle seat, and watched the two big boys gossiping. After seeing that he turned back, she immediately lowered her head and continued to watch the pancakes that were hot, and then quietly aimed at them—

Lu Chen did not shy away. He was really looking at her, and Gui Xiao didn’t hide, and looked back at him.

Later, regular guests of the pancake stalls swarmed in, and the two looked away in the peaceful atmosphere of the morning. Gui Xiao’s heart pounded when he took the hot pancakes …

Because I saw him before self-study, I knew that a heart was floating on the snow of the puffy, and was hanging there.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the last class, she was still packing up the papers for the teacher, and Hai Jianfeng jumped up the two steps of the door with the table, ran in and said, “My school is waiting for you. birthday.”

“Ah?” Gui Xiao didn’t hear it. “Am I going to buy a gift?”

“Come on, you send plush toys to anyone in our class who has a birthday, and the boutique house is almost hollowed out by you. Sister Meng said, let you come empty-handed.”

“Then you wait for me, I’ll hand in the papers!” Gui Xiao was full of joy and ran away.

When the papers were handed in, she jumped off the office steps and ran backwards to the class during the school tide.

Haidong’s birthday, he must be there.

Sure enough, it wasn’t just there, it was simply a place where he provided food.

The auto repair shop that Meng Xiaoshan mentioned was not in the town. It was good forty minutes to ride along the canal. It was completely dark after riding halfway, but fortunately Meng Xiaoshan told Hai Jianfeng to wait for her and accompany her. The two stood against the northwest wind and rode hard for an hour. She was sobbed by the wind that her ears were about to cry.

Turn right, and the dirt **** slides all the way down.

The three-meter-tall dark green iron door was hung with black locks. The small door next to the iron door was open. Lu Chen waited for them in the transfer room next to the small door.

In the morning, when the two looked at each other, Gui Xiaomeng saw him appear with some confusion.

“Brother Chen!” Hai Jianfeng shouted respectfully.

Lu Chen nodded.

He reached out, took the handlebar of the small bicycle from Guixiao, took the back seat, and moved in through the door for her. Gui Xiao followed him in. The gate was facing a large factory building. The light gate was five or six meters high, and there were brick houses on the left and right of the factory.

Lu Chen left her car beside a pile of bicycles in the corner, beckoning them to enter.

There are more than a dozen vehicles of various types, some are suspended, and some are parked on the concrete floor.

There are still more than a dozen adults working there. When they saw their half-and-a-half-year-old children, they did not pay much attention to it. It is estimated that Lu Chen usually brought people back to get used to it.

All the way to the end, turning, is a house.

Lu Chen opened the door with her knee on the top, and the hot steam from the white hot pot came out of the door. When Meng Xiaoshan saw Gui Xiao, he immediately pushed a boy around him and let the seat out. The people in the house are different from those in the billiard hall last time. These faces are obviously a lot older. Gui Xiao sat down, listened to them drinking and chatting, and probably guessed that these people were old classmates from Haidong and Lu Chen in the past.

Because the weather was too cold, several men were wrapped in green army coats to protect themselves from the cold.

Lu Chen sat down in the corner, and he was alone in school uniform.

Gui Xiao quietly glanced around, there was a bed, there was a cabinet and a wooden table, plus scattered clothes scattered on the sofa and various sneakers on the shoe racks in the corner … this should be where he lives?

Before she sat down for a while, someone would make fun. Is this Hai Jianfeng’s girlfriend?

“Where is this, my sister?” Hai Jianfeng waved his hands, with a sincere expression.

Meng Xiaoshan laughed: “This stinky boy can’t catch up with him.”

She popularizes her achievements, plus the special students and the school choir. Absolutely the minds of teachers in all subjects, except of course the director. Just because Guihui had been mingling with them all day, he was criticized by name for two years. At the beginning, even the first batch of members who joined the group was directly deleted.

The people in this room either dropped out of school or repeated grades. No one has read the book well. The relationship with Guixiao is like the relationship between the first and last rows of students in a class. There is no intersection between the two worlds.

They did n’t have much interest in the front, but they all laughed after listening to the last joining the group. They were all people who had been criticized by the director of the teaching, and they felt too deeply.

Lu Chen kept silent, dragged a chair, and leaned against him. I didn’t drink, I rarely talked. I took my phone and looked at it after listening to two sentences. From time to time, I went out. After a while, I fired in new dishes. In the winter, although there is a long row of silver heating pipes in the corner of the east, it can’t stand the room too high. After half of it, it’s too cold to dare to take off the down jacket.

Lu Chen wore a thin cotton high school uniform, and among those who were wrapped in military coats and down jackets, he was even taller and thinner.

This drink is more than ten o’clock.

The crowd was about to leave. Meng Xiaoshan watched Haidong get drunk, called Haidong’s dad and asked his family to pick him up. Hula fell into flames, leaving them all in the room.

Lu Chen pulled his cuffs, copied a few empty bottles, and threw them into the bamboo basket on the outside wall of the door: “Sit down, I’ll take you back.”

Gui Xiao nodded and sat on the sofa.

Seeing him clean up for a while, I feel wrong, he is also a person who eats, should he also clean up? But she had never worked, and she didn’t know where to start.

Lu Chen stood up quickly, took the remaining bottles, and took out two plates together.

She glanced out the door, got up from the sofa and followed, helping. Suddenly, there was a sound of a broken plate.

The door was knocked open, and Gui Xiao screamed and fell to the ground. Senseless. In front of the road, Lu Chen shouldered on the door, and Li Luo hung two layers of locks. After Yu Guang saw Dawn, the detective pulled her up.

Backhand and pushed her behind.

“Get out!” He was listening to a middle-aged male voice, his voice was muddy, and he was drunk.

Gui Xiao was in front of him, behind the wall, his chest was undulating, he couldn’t control his fear.

Lu Chen’s voice was colder than the wind outside: “There are people in the room.”

Loudly loud.

Gui Xiao’s eyes squinted at the black door bolts, all of which were swelled, and became more panicked, frightened and startled.

There was another loud noise on the ground, and the glass two meters above the door shuddered.

Lu Chen was rushed and hit the doorframe with a punch: “Fuck! Someone! My wife is undressed!”

…

Gui Xiao’s ears buzzed and said something … stupid.

Although scolding outside, but apparently because of this a lot of convergence, ridiculed that the boy learned, and also looking for a wife. Then I knocked on the door a few more times, but I didn’t need to go all out, but I was still alive with wine.

Soon the voices of the third and fourth men caught up and were repairmen. Everyone persuaded and dragged the people outside. Gui Xiao still stunned, slammed loudly, and the door was hit by something: “Still going to school! Don’t **** kill my life!”

Guixiao is another moment.

“Lu Chen, let’s send your dad home first. You still sleep in the factory tonight!”

Lu Chen shouldered on the wooden door, calling for a long suffocation. Her right thumb and index finger kept pinching the bridge of her nose, forcing herself to calm down: “Thank you, Uncle Liu.”

“It’s okay! Wait a minute, don’t rush out!”

…

There was a new bruise on his arm, which had just been hit by a wrench and was tingling. Looking back at Guixiao, she was so shocked that she didn’t wake up completely, her fist slammed her palms, her fingernails turned white.
