The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 17, anxious aunt

In the early morning, the sun was still shining brightly in the clouds. Through a trace of red glow, the place became more and more radiant and charming.

No. 60 No. [-] Middle School in Beijing, Chen Guohua ran quickly on the playground, breathing in the heat and facing the rising sun.

It is said that the plan for a year begins in spring and the plan for a day begins in the morning.

It has been half a month since I came into this world, and I still feel most comfortable these days at school.

Except for Zhang Meng's time, life was very ordinary at other times.

Another day of morning jogging was over. When I came to the classroom, I unexpectedly saw Old Man Dong.

"Uncle Dong, why are you here?"

As the school's janitor, although more of a mascot.

But Mr. Dong rarely comes to the classroom.

"Guohua, you are here just in time. Someone is looking for you at the door. He says he is a worker comrade named Liang Dadong. Do you know him?"

When he saw Chen Guohua, the wrinkles on Old Man Dong's face suddenly increased.

Chen Guohua nodded and went to the school gate with Old Man Dong.

On the way, Old Man Dong was still asking, how could he, a student, know the workers?
I heard Chen Guohua say that they met on the bus.

Just as he was about to continue chatting more, Chen Guohua took two quick steps and greeted Liang Dadong warmly at the door.

After not seeing Liang Dadong for several days, he became even more enthusiastic.

As soon as they met, he asked Chen Guohua when he had time and wanted to invite him to his home.

Liang Dadong lives in Nanluogu Lane, not far from Dengshikou North Lane.

The purpose of the other party's enthusiastic invitation was of course to exchange car repair skills with Chen Guohua.

In this case, Chen Guohua is also happy to improve his life.

Even agreed.

Soon, he made an appointment with Liang Dadong to meet this weekend, that is, tomorrow afternoon.

The other party got the accurate information, so he happily turned around and left.

As soon as Liang Dadong left, Old Man Dong said:

"Guohua, you don't want to take the college entrance examination? What's so delicious about a meal? Don't let a small thing cost you a big thing!"

"Uncle Dong, you are worrying too much. I know it well, so just relax."

The other party was really kind in reminding her, not just sarcastic like Zhang Meng.

"Okay, just know it yourself, don't blame me for talking too much."

Old Man Dong muttered something, and Chen Guohua smiled and said a few more good words. The former waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Stop coaxing me and go back to reading. What's the point of talking to a bad old man like me? Study hard and try to get into college so that your father can smile."

"Hey, I'll go back first."

Chen Guohua knew that the other party was telling the truth, but he did not expose it.

As a doorman, the old man looks down on everything, but in old age, who doesn’t want to talk to more people?

But the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

What's more, Chen Guohua really needs to go back and review.

I saw him running back to the classroom to read in a flash.

Old Man Dong looked at his leaving figure with a look of worry, regret and relief in his eyes: It is rare to see a brat like this who is polite and knows how to advance and retreat.

In the blink of an eye, on the afternoon of the next day, Chen Guohua followed the address and arrived at No. 78 Nanluogu Lane.

"Hello, aunt, please excuse me. I want to ask you about someone, is it okay?"

At the entrance of the courtyard, several little kids were playing a childish game of eagle catching chicks.

There were also a few aunties sitting on the pony and chatting.

When they saw Chen Guohua, a stranger, everyone looked at him warily.

Hearing that he was so polite, the aunt in a dark coat smiled before she said anything, but her eyes became sharper.

"Young man, who do you want to inquire about?" Although Chen Guohua speaks an authentic Hutong dialect, aunts are always wary of strangers.

You know, it's less than ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

There are many spies all over the streets.

Just now, the aunts were chatting about the big case in Chongwen yesterday.

Chen Guohua, who was on the muzzle of the gun, naturally attracted special attention from the aunts.

"That's it, aunt, I'm a student in No. 65 Middle School. I'm here today to meet a comrade named Liang Dadong. He told me yesterday that he lives in No. 78 Courtyard. Do you know where he lives?"

Chen Guohua said politely with a polite yet embarrassed smile.

Where did the Chaoyang masses come from in later generations?

It was from this time that the inheritance began.

Therefore, he had no choice but to declare his family status.

As for the unreliable Liang Dadong, he didn't say clearly which house he lived in.

They only said they would meet in Courtyard No. 78 in the afternoon, but now Chen Guohua saw no one.

And he couldn't just stay at the door and wait, so of course he had to ask people directly.

"Are you a high school student?"

The faces of the aunts changed instantly, and their questioning expressions became more respectful.

"Yes, I am a senior in high school in No. 65 Middle School. Aunt, can you tell me that you know Liang Dadong?"

"Yes, of course we know." The aunt reacted and pointed at the door:
"The room next to the west wing of the second courtyard from here is Liang Dadong's house."

"However, Liang Dadong hasn't come back today yet. Do you have anything to do with him?"

Although he knew that aunts were difficult to deal with, Chen Guohua didn't expect that he could be stopped by the aunts just by asking for a way.

All I can say is that your aunt is worthy of being your aunt.

Yes, you have nothing to do anyway, so just chat with them.

"I'm not looking for him, it's him looking for me."

After a pause, Chen Guohua continued:
"If I had known he was so unreliable, I wouldn't have come here so early."

"Yeah, I also said he was unreliable." Auntie agreed.

Then he asked about the relationship between him and Liang Dadong.

When she learned that they had met on the bus some time ago, the aunt said that Chen Guohua was too young, how could he trust others?

What if Liang Dadong is a bad guy?
Next, the aunt kept chatting with Chen Guohua about Liang Dadong.

However, while chatting, Chen Guohua suddenly thought about it.

Is this aunt having a conflict with Liang Dadong?
The aunts nearby looked like they were watching a good show, which seemed to confirm his guess.

However, it is normal for neighbors to have conflicts, right?
He kept saying bad things about Liang Dadong, which made Chen Guohua want to laugh.

Although he had only met Liang Dadong twice, during the communication with him, he could certainly feel that he was not a liar.

Liang Dadong took the initiative to approach him for a very simple purpose, hoping to exchange knowledge about machinery and car maintenance with him.

For a motivated and ambitious young man, Chen Guohua did not think that Liang Dadong had other intentions for him.

"Aunt, thank you for chatting with me. I'll go in and wait for him first."

After knowing that there may be a conflict between Auntie and Liang Dadong.

Chen Guohua did not intend to continue talking to the other party.

They were all trivial and trivial matters, and he had no interest in continuing to understand them.

What's more, he just made friends with Liang Dadong, a native of the capital, and asked about settling in the capital, housing and other matters.

I don't want to get involved in the conflicts between the other party and the neighbors.

"Hey, young man, don't leave. I'm telling you, he..."

Just as he was talking enthusiastically, Chen Guohua suddenly left, and the aunt suddenly became anxious.
