When he got home, he placed the clothes that Yuan Yingying had bought him into the closet. He didn't want to wear such nice clothes yet. Firstly, he wasn't used to it. Secondly, he was only wearing such nice clothes for the festival. Perhaps he would wear them for some important event when his cousin came back. Just as he was thinking about this, his phone suddenly rang. No. 8 picked it up and saw that it was a very unfamiliar number. He thought, who is this?
"Hello, who is this?" Xiaoba answered the call.
"It's me." There was a resentful voice on the phone. No. 8 could not remember who it was for a moment. He pressed the phone to his ear again." Brother, are you home?"”
"I'm at home. Where are you?" Only then did Little Eighth recognize Lotus's voice. He wondered why she was calling him today.
"Brother, I want to see you. Do you have time?”Lotus said.
To be honest, Little Eighth liked this little girl very much. A girl of this age was just right. She had the right shape and appearance. She was pure and cute. He was willing to work with her or talk to her.
"I'm fine. Where can I find you? Lotus, aren't you going to school today?" Eighty asked. The reason why he asked this was because Lotus was in her third year of high school this year. The pressure from all the subjects was very high. There were not many opportunities for her to throw away her studies and come out to play, unless she did not want to work hard to get into university.
"We're resting today. I'll wait for you at the entrance of City No. 24 High School, okay? Come now." Lotus's voice became enthusiastic. Perhaps she was in a good mood because her wish was about to come true?
Eighty hung up the phone. Since Lotus was waiting for him, he had to hurry. He took the suit that Yuan Yingying had just bought for him and tried it on himself. He thought that it would be too flashy to go out in such a suit. It wasn't a festival, and he was going to meet a girl who was considered an ordinary friend. Did he need to dress up like this? What would she think? It was better to forget about it. She put on her previous set of sportswear, which was not very eye-catching and even a little shabby.
There weren't many people on the bus, and it was very empty. Xiaoba found a seat by the window and sat down. He looked around and saw that there were some newly built buildings on both sides of the road leading to City No. 24 High School. They were magnificent. A city was a city, and it couldn't be compared to Xicha Village in Wudaogou Town. His grandfather once said something very philosophical: It's better to be in the big city than in our Xicha Village. Up until now, Little Eighth had yet to realize whether he was promising or not. The tall and beautiful buildings in the small Xicha Village could not be compared to them. Of course, it was the same for women. Not to mention others, even Yuan Yingying, whom he had met a few times, and the Lotus Flower that he had saved were incomparable to those in Xicha Village. They had delicate skin, big eyes, double eyelids, a smile, and two dimples. Their coquettishness made No. 8 feel that living in this city was so comfortable. When he first came back, Little Eighth was a little overwhelmed. Just looking at the police beauty Zhang Guilan opposite him made his heart skip a beat. His eyes were always straight when he went up and down the stairs. It seemed that he couldn't get enough of her. It was no wonder that her cousin had given her a heads-up. If I don't agree to you finding a partner, you're not allowed to do anything. It could be seen that her cousin had put in a lot of effort. What kind of place was Xicha Village? How many women could be found out? Little Eighth knew that the most beautiful one was Widow Li. Widow Li's house was at the west end of the village, and many men went to her house to visit. No. 8 had never been there before. There were so many adults in front of him, so he couldn't get close to them. However, he really went there once. He quietly leaned against the back wall and heard it. He didn't know who the man inside was. Anyway, the man inside said that Widow Li was good-looking. When Widow Li came out to use the toilet, No. 8 saw that her butt was not just ordinary white. It was big and round. It was definitely not simple to be able to look like this. At least, in No. 8's eyes, she was the most beautiful one. Thinking about it now, Eighty still felt a warm feeling in his heart.
After getting off the bus, Eighty saw Lotus standing on the sidewalk. Lotus had taken off her student uniform today and was wearing a slightly dark red checkered summer shirt. She was wearing a dark green dress that reached her knees. At first glance, it really looked like red and green. It wasn't that red and green weren't good, but Little Eighth felt that red and green was a common way for girls in the countryside to dress up. For example, the girls in their hometown, Xicha Village, dressed like this. After all, there were only a few girls in the city who dressed like this. Looking at the city's girl's various costumes, and then looking back at this red and green, it was really a different feeling in his heart. Besides, Lotus wasn't carrying her big school bag today. She didn't even carry a small handbag in her hand. She was very eye-catching standing there.
"Brother." Lotus ran over and grabbed No. 8's hand. Yesterday's incident was still vivid in her mind, and it made Lotus feel an indescribable feeling in her heart. Without the little man's help, she didn't know what Lotus would look like today." You came quite quickly." Let's go to my house for dinner. My mom has already prepared it.”
"Why bother? It's a small matter. Others will do the same when they encounter such a thing. I just did what I should do. You don't have to feel guilty.”Eighty comforted Lotus. He knew how he felt as a victim who had just been rescued.
"Brother, you can't say that. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know where I would be now. Besides, I didn't expect you to be a good person. I like it. From now on, you will be my closest relative.”Lotus quietly said as she lay on Eighty's body.
"Hehe, is that so?" Eighty's words made Lian Hua's mood turn sour.'My dearest kin? What does' my dearest kin 'mean?' Lian Hua didn't continue. From the tone of her voice and the blush on her face, there must be another meaning, right? However, Little Eighth did not want to think about this for the time being. She had not even graduated from high school yet. How could she have any ideas about her?
"My dad passed away early and is now living with my mom. Other than my mom, you're the closest person to me.”Lotus said.
"I'm your brother from now on. Let me do whatever you need, okay?”Eighty said.
"Alright, it's a deal?"
"Deal."
The two of them talked and laughed as they arrived at Lotus's house. The area of the house was not very big. It was an old-fashioned house with the meaning of a tube-shaped apartment. According to Lotus, it was rented by them. It was just a single room. The kitchen was shared by everyone in the corridor. They used to live in the countryside and came here because they had no way out.
"Mom, look who's here. It's him.”Lotus said to her mother, who was setting the bowls and chopsticks.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly. I was scared out of my wits yesterday. What would I do if something happened to Lotus? I heard from Lotus that it's all thanks to you. You're really our family's benefactor.”Lotus's mother was very honest and kind. She was filled with gratitude.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I made it in time. I think others would have done the same. Auntie, why did you cook so many dishes? You don't have to do this. You really have to spend money.”
As No. 8 spoke, he looked at the auntie beside him. He was right. It was indeed the one who bought wontons next to No. 24 High School. He immediately felt even more familiar with her. When No. 8 went to eat wontons yesterday, he had a good impression of her. He didn't expect to come to her house today and have such a relationship. He felt gratified.
"Auntie, where do you work?”Little Eighth didn't reveal that he had eaten her wontons and asked as if he didn't know anything.
Lotus 'mother said," I don't have a job. I have a wonton stall near No. 24 High School. Usually, Lotus will help me after class. We are from a small family, and her father died early. We don't have anything to do at home. We just need to make a living. What's your surname?"
"My surname is Shao. He was called Eighth Strong Shao. Just call me Little Shao." Xiao Bazi said this. He had never introduced his surname Shao. Usually, he would say that his name was Xiao Bazi. Xiao Bazi was his real name. He had already ignored the name Eight Strong Shao. Today, he had no choice but to introduce himself in front of the elders.
"Oh, Little Shao, where do you work?”Lotus Mother asked.
"I-I just got out of the army and haven't got a job yet.”Little Eighth said this. He did not know what he could do in the future, but so far, he was just an unemployed youth.
At the dining table, Mother Lotus picked up a lot of food for No. 8. Her gratitude was overflowing. At the same time, she gave a detailed description of the life of the mother and daughter. People who lived at this level were all like this, right?
Lotus rarely spoke in front of her mother. Other than picking food for No. 8, she listened to her mother talk to No. 8. She knew that there was no need for her to say anything at this table.
"Lianhua, you accompany Little Shao. The two of you can drink slowly. I'll go and pack up the things on the stall. I'll go and set up the stall in a while.”Lotus 'mother poured a glass of wine for Little Eighth and said to Lotus.
