Chapter 108 The World of the Capital

Gu Qingxi looked at Xiao Shengtian in confusion.

Her thoughts were still immersed in the stories of her previous life. She wanted to see clearly and was curious.

I am curious about myself and those I know, and I am even more curious about Xiao Shengtian.

However, the young Xiao Shengtian touched her forehead with his hand: "You kept frowning and trying hard just now, I thought you had a nightmare."

Her forehead was cold and sweat oozed out.

Xiao Shengtian took the towel next to her and wiped it for her: "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner in such a hot day?"

Gu Qingxi shook his head: "It wasn't hot at that time, and I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to lie down for a while, but who knew I was asleep."

Seeing this, Xiao Shengtian stopped talking about anything and went to cook now.

When Gu Qingxi saw this, he felt guilty and followed him. Fortunately, the kitchen here is spacious and both of them will not be crowded even if they go in. So Xiao Shengtian is responsible for doing it, and Gu Qingxi takes action.

While washing vegetables, listening to the sound of cooking next to her, she looked at him sideways.

He was born with a strong body. Although he was still young, his every move had a calm and steady momentum. But such a man now wears an apron and holds a shovel for cooking in his hand, and is skillful in his movements.

Such a person is really not comparable to Xiao Shengtian, who talked about the economic trend on TV in his previous life.

In a trance, she thought, how did they do later in that time and space?

Is it possible that they were together?

Or missed it in the end?

******************

This summer is noisy and rewarding.

The village had a bumper harvest of wheat, and there was a long queue for handing over public grain again. Many students in the college entrance examination were admitted to college, and the admission rate hit a new high. Gu Qingxi's college entrance examination score was the highest in the province. The school specially held a commendation meeting to praise her.

On the day of the commendation meeting, when Gu Qingxi left the school, Peng Chunyan suddenly rushed out.

She stared at Gu Qingxi: "Is it you? Did you tell Gu Xiuyun?"

Peng Chunyan was already waiting for the admission notice, but she was found to be impersonated. She was nothing, but her uncle was arrested. As she was about to be sentenced, her dream of college naturally turned into a bubble.

She didn't dare to find Gu Xiuyun, after all, Gu Xiuyun was the miserable, and Gu Xiuyun wanted to tear her down when she saw her.

So somehow she actually came to Gu Qingxi, and she stared at Gu Qingxi: "Has I treated you badly before? How did Gu Xiuyun treat you normally? How did I treat you normally? You actually cheered up my affairs for her. Why are you so vicious?"

Gu Qingxi heard this and chuckled: "Why do you think I told Gu Xiuyun?"

Peng Chunyan looked at Gu Qingxi's smile and suddenly felt a little nervous.

For some reason, she just felt that she should know, maybe it was because Gu Qingxi was smart, or maybe it was because of something else.

She went to see Gu Xiuyun specifically. Gu Xiuyun almost collapsed and seemed to be in dying. Such a person had no willpower to stand up again, so Gu Xiuyun had been awakened by others.

And that person can only be Gu Qingxi.

Peng Chunyan gritted her teeth: "Isn't it you? I think it's you, this is intuition!"

Gu Qingxi nodded and admitted: "Yes, it's indeed Gu Xiuyun I reminded."

Now, the hatred in Peng Chunyan's eyes almost overflowed: "Why are you doing this to me? What's the benefit to you? I'm your classmate, we have a good relationship, so why don't you talk about your loyalty to friends? Or--"

Peng Chunyan suddenly said, "Because you know I like Xiao Shengtian too, I deliberately targeted me like this?"

She almost cried: "I didn't mean to compete with you for Xiao Shengtian. He is my friend's object. Don't you know how I could do such a thing? Is your mind so narrow? Now you not only harm me, but also ruin my uncle. My uncle was arrested, and he was too late! Why are you so cruel!"

Gu Qingxi was also a little surprised when he heard this. What did Peng Chunyan think so?

I think I have a good relationship with her, so I shouldn’t show the bad things she did?

If you do it yourself, it must be because of personal grudges and revenge between men and women?

After reading so many martial arts novels, she has formed such a moral concept?

She looked at Peng Chunyan with a brand new look. This classmate Peng Chunyan should be a soft-pinching persimmon, so she used her own grades in her previous life and Gu Xiuyun's grades in this life.

She took a deep breath: "You are wrong. I just can't stand some people getting something for nothing, some people study hard for years but are replaced by others. This kind of thing is exposed by everyone. This is a big deal, not a personal grudge, nor is it a time to talk about the loyalty of friends. Peng Chunyan, you deserve it and you have ended up in this situation. It's not me, not Gu Xiuyun, but yourself."

After saying this, she left.

She could imagine that Peng Chunyan's fate was somehow the most important thing for a woman in the village was her reputation. She would be scolded by her backbone if she used her grades. She had no hope of recruiting workers and could not find any good family even if she got married.

She will become the second Gu Xiuyun, and fall to the bottom of the countryside. She will talk about her friend's loyalty and fight with others in the long-term conversation of her sister-in-law and daughter-in-law, and will talk about her friend's loyalty and fight with others. This is a future that can be imagined with your eyes closed.

It was also her retribution.

***************

That summer, Xiao Shengtian accompanied Gu Qingxi on his journey to the capital.

They came a few days earlier than the normal school day, so Xiao Shengtian took her to stay in the guesthouse first, and then hurried over to find a house.

He wanted to rent a suitable house so that he could come to visit Gu Qingxi. If it was inconvenient to live in the dormitory in the future, he could come to sleep.

The process of renting a house is not very smooth. After all, house rentals are not so developed these days, but I found a three-bedroom apartment with a transparent north and south. The interior is very well decorated. The most important thing is that it is very close to Gu Qingxi's university, you can get there by walking, and there is a lively department store when you go out.

The money for renting a house is naturally nothing to Xiao Shengtian. The two of them quickly settled down and ran to the department store to buy some daily necessities. Gu Qingxi also bought two flower pots on the balcony and pulled light beige curtains, which made the small house feel comfortable and warm.

After getting it done, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. The school started the day after tomorrow. It was fine the next day. Xiao Shengtian got up early in the morning and pulled Gu Qingxi out, saying that he was going to play.

First, I took the bus, then took a taxi, and finally the two of them arrived at an old alley. At this time, the sun had just risen, and the rising sun was shining in this deep alley. The door of the red house was shiny, the eaves were carved exquisitely, solemnly and solemnly. At a glance, you could tell that it was a house that only rich families would have built in the past.

"This is a courtyard house." Gu Qingxi said as he walked: "Why did you suddenly remember to see this?"

In her subconscious, everyone should not feel this yet. They pursue "buildings" and modernization. After enjoying modern life, they will return to nature, start pursuing cultural heritage, and enjoying the quaint flavor.

"I came here with my grandma when I was a child." Xiao Shengtian held Gu Qingxi's hand and looked at the courtyard wall next to him with deep eyes: "Look at this old willow tree."

Gu Qingxi looked up and saw traces of erosion by time remaining on the blue brick courtyard wall, but the lush branches and leaves of old willow trees stretched out inside the courtyard wall.

Gu Qingxi's heart moved: "Is this the place where your grandma lived when she was a child?"

Xiao Shengtian smiled and said, "Yes, this willow tree was planted by my grandma. There are five willow trees in this yard. They were planted by my grandma and two older brothers and two younger brothers. Each one is one. Now the tree is still lush, but people are no longer there."

When Gu Qingxi heard this, he immediately understood that in those days, there was a habit of planting trees when children were young, and when they were old, they would cut down the tree and use it as a longevity material.

Even in their rural areas, when people get older, they have to prepare their longevity materials early, which is a blessing for the elderly.

And Xiao Shengtian's grandmother naturally failed to use the trees she planted when she was a child to make a coffin.

Thinking of this, she shook Xiao Shengtian's hand comfortably.

Xiao Shengtian looked at the willow tree: "Actually, this is all the past. Times are changing, and people are changing. People cannot always step on the original land, but-"

But he didn't say anything, but Gu Qingxi understood.

After all, he thought about stepping into the solemn and mysterious gate again and go and see the old willow tree his grandmother planted by her child.

For outsiders, it was just a door and a courtyard, but for him, it was filled with his grandmother's childhood.

The two of them looked at the old willow tree for a long time, and then walked out hand in hand. Who knew it was a coincidence that the ancient and heavy red door opened with a creak. After the door opened, they heard the attentive instructions from the visitor, and then a bicycle rushed out from inside.

The bicycle was a young man with a small flat head and wide-leg pants, looking fashionable and fashionable. He rode his bicycle and came out with a whoosh.

Xiao Shengtian quickly led Gu Qingxi to avoid it.

The young man rode over in a car, and Gu Qingxi subconsciously looked up.

But the moment I saw her, I was stunned.

This person looks very familiar. Although he is younger than she remembers, he looks like that.

He should be the Ren Enzhong she met later.

Ren Enzhong's family has good conditions and has a house in the capital. Later, he opened a small company and took on many projects with some connections, and his life was booming.

Gu Qingxi met this person and participated in a training organized by the school and met Ren Enzhong by chance.

Because Ren Enzhong's uncle happened to work in their small town, he said a few more words and became familiar with it.

At that time, Ren Enzhong was interested in her and said that she fell in love at first sight and pursued her, but she refused.

She was only twenty-nine years old when Chen Zhao died in her previous life, and she was still young enough. Relying on her innate appearance, she also had some pursuits. Ren Enzhong was in her heart and had no deep impression, so she never thought about it before.

Looking back now, the "Ren family" mentioned by Secretary Wang must be the Ren Enzhong family, but according to age, what Secretary Wang wants to introduce is the leader of the Ren family, that is, Ren Enzhong's cousin.

Ren Enzhong rode his bicycle and was able to get over it.

Xiao Shengtian: "It seems that there have always been people living here."

Gu Qingxi nodded: "Well, I guess I'm going to be divided."

This kind of courtyard house has a good location, deep courtyards, and a house that has been recently entered cannot be used by ordinary people at all. There is no concept of commercial housing in this era, so it should be a house that can be divided.

Gu Qingxi recalled that Ren Enzhong's grandfather seemed to be in some position in the capital.

But she didn't care much about it and had no interest at that time. Ren Enzhong mentioned it, but she didn't take it to heart.

Xiao Shengtian: "Let's go back."

Gu Qingxi looked at Xiao Shengtian. Although he didn't show anything, he always felt that he should feel uncomfortable.

It was a house built by his grandmother's house. The trees planted by his grandmother are now living by others. He can only see outside the door. The feeling is imaginable.
