Chapter 43 Lunch
"Brother Long." He looked at Long Xiaoqi who caught up from behind with an embarrassed face. What are you running for? I can't eat you." Long Xiaoqi said angrily and rolled her eyes. Hey hey." I scratched my head with embarrassment and smiled honestly.
"Bear by the way, where is your home?" As Long Xiaoqi spoke, she looked at Ma Yujia who ran out in a hurry and waved her hand to indicate that he was here.
"My home is in XXX." He said it without concealment. Seeing Ma Yujia, who was out of breath, nodded apologetically. Really? Then why can't I see you every day? It's just on the way. In the future, the three of us will leave. Hee." Long Xiaoqi looked at her ability sincerely. From school to now, he is the only same-sex friend who can play with him. Others either say that Long Xiaoqi's horse is good, or they already know his details and want to make friends with him.
"Ao! All right!" I don't know why, a lot of loss suddenly appeared on his face. He lowered his head and walked silently.
"Do you have something on your mind? Or is there any difficulty?" Long Xiaoqi put her hand on Ben's shoulder and casually glanced at her face.
"Difficult? No, no. I have the ability, and there is no difficulty.
"Hehe, all right! Do you know what I've done these days?" Long Xiaoqi said slowly, as if she had something in mind. She looked up at the sky in the distance. Maybe only there could he see the people he wanted to see.
In fact, about Long Xiaoqi's matter, I have vaguely noticed something in class that day, but after all, it's not a happy thing, and I don't have the nerve to ask. Since Long Xiaoqi took the initiative to say it, she will bow her head and listen to it.
"Just a few days ago, my mother passed away." Long Xiaoqi said it casually, even without blinking her eyes, as if it had nothing to do with her.
But Ma Yujia and the ability around him were shocked. Ma Yujia looked at Long Xiaoqi and felt that he was very strange at this time. He was completely like a different person. In the past, Long Xiaoqi would never say such a thing so lightly. And the ability is a little embarrassing because I don't know what to say.
"Hey..." Long Xiaoqi sighed softly and told her about her childhood. Of course, he omitted a lot of details, otherwise, her ability would definitely be shocked.
The three people walked slowly on the road like an old man walking slowly, chatting and taking a walk.
"Brother Long, it's almost at our house. Why don't you two go to my house to eat? I'll cook for you two." Along the way, his mood was obviously much better, his face returned to a smile, and he was even in a good mood, inviting the two of them to visit his house.
"This..." Long Xiaoqi and Ma Yujia looked at each other in conno time. Forget it, I won't bother my uncles and aunts. Besides, we are about to arrive. If we go back late, grandma will be worried. Ma Yujia smiled and politely refused the invitation.
"It's okay. It's okay. My father and mother are not at home, and I'm the only one. Why don't you just ask Brother Long to call you when you get home?" It seems that he was determined to bring the two people to his house for dinner. Long Xiaoqi nodded, and Ma Yujia had to "song and accompany the wife".
The house is very large and the decoration is luxurious. Of course, it is overdone compared with the Long family.
"Do you cook alone at noon every day?" Long Xiaoqi took off her shoes and asked. She looked up and happened to see the family portrait hanging on the wall.
"Hey, in fact, I can only cook instant noodles, at most to add an egg. In most cases, I will go downstairs to buy a dish and bring it." He is embarrassed to scratch his head. Doesn't he know if this is a fraud?
"Do you live at home alone?" Ma Yujia visited the house of her ability. What surprised her was that the bed inside was neat, while the small bed in the next room was a little messy. The quilts, socks, and even underwear were placed irregularly.
"Ah! Dad often doesn't come back because of work. Mom has been on a business trip recently, so I'm the only one at home. After saying that, he skillfully turned on the refrigerator and turned it over to eat.
After hearing this, Long Xiaoqi and Ma Yujia instantly hung a black line on their faces. Isn't he afraid that a six-year-old child lives alone in such a big house? Thinking of this, Ma Yujia leaned against Long Xiaoqi, as if she were looking for a snuggle.
"My father opened a small company and often can't see anyone for three or five days. Recently, I heard that the company is losing money. It seems that it is going to close down, and it is even gone. My mother is a clerk. Although she is stable, she often goes on business trips, so I am the only one left at home. He turned his head and looked at the two, with a habitual expression on his face.
Ma Yujia saw this and suddenly felt familiar. Her mother was gone, and her father was often busy socializing outside. Fortunately, Ma Yujia's father would take time to look at her no matter how busy she was, not to mention that she now has a "good brother".
"There's only so much, just take a bite today! Wait for the weekend, hey." I have the ability to bring out a plate of cooked food and a plate of meat from the kitchen. As for rice? I soaked it in hot water.
"Do you eat these every day?" Although the dish tastes good, it has lost its fresh flavor when it comes out of the pot. Long Xiaoqi is really puzzled. How can he grow so fat by eating like this? Is he really the legendary kind of person who grows fat by drinking cold water?
"Hey! Not every day, but often. Since I can remember, my parents have rarely been by my side. It turned out that there was a nanny to take care of me, but later even the nanny resigned. I heard that my father's company is losing money. If he can't afford it, he will have to mortgage the house. In addition to going to work, my mother is busy with this matter. How can she have time to take care of me? The ability to chew rice one by one seems to eat not rice, but sorrow.
The two never thought that there were so many sad things in their ability to laugh. Compared with their ability, maybe they were still happy.
"So you don't have any friends before? Look at you alone every day. Ma Yujia chewed slowly and found that the meal had a special taste.
"My family used to be in the countryside. I heard from my mother that my father once covered a piece of land, and then the land appreciated, and my father became rich. He came to the city to do business, and his mother also passed the exam and entered a unit. It turns out that although the two people don't have money, they always have a lot of free time to chat and go out. But now, the money is earned, but time is gone. I'm the only one who guards such a big house every day. The ability is very helpless. It is very important for parents to make money, but it is more important to care about their children.
Long Xiaoqi put down her chopsticks and gently patted her on the shoulder. Everyone has their own sadness. Now that it has passed, why not let him go with the wind like this? The two even have a feeling of cherishing each other and hating each other. Perhaps only those who experience the same will understand that kind of loneliness.
"Ha ha, look at me, I forgot all these delicious things." With that, he stood up and ran to the door of the cupboard and turned upside down. After a while, he took out a bag of cakes from it. Yes, it's a cake!
"This cake is delicious. It's made by Aunt Zhang downstairs. I usually hide it, but I'm afraid that I can't help eating it all in one breath. Wait! I'll heat you up." Looking at the busy figure, Long Xiaoqi smiled, but at the same time, she also made a decision in her heart. This decision made her extremely grateful for her life and even gave her life.
"Ah! We forgot to call grandma." Long Xiaoqi was almost scared out of her mouth by Ma Yujia's scream. Yes! Grandma will be anxious." Wiping his mouth, regardless of whether he agreed or not, picked up the phone at the table and pressed a string of numbers.
Long Xiaoqi called in a low voice and looked at the back of her ability, with a mysterious smile on her face.
