Oh, dear! Fish me again

Chapter 154: The Light of Lotus Alley

The old town area of ​​City A has been full of vitality recently, and even the sunshine is exceptionally warm.

Red banners were hung in conspicuous places on every street. Everyone walked out with their heads held high, their faces showing "Ask me what's up!" and their backs straight.

The reason is simple. The college entrance examination results were announced last week, and a top scorer in the country came from a shabby place like Lianhua Hutong.

With a full score of 750, he is the only student in decades to have scored full marks in the national college entrance examination. He is definitely the pride of Lianhua Hutong.

For a time, newspapers and television stations lined up to come in for interviews, students from all over the city came to share in the good news, and leaders from admissions offices of major universities squeezed their heads in to get in, making the old city area bustling with activity.

As a result, the small streets and alleys that had been dirty and messy for years were cleaned up overnight;

The street lights that had been rusty and in disrepair for years were replaced with new ones;

Mobile patrol police cars were set up at the intersections to chase away the hooligans who liked to squat on the roadside;

Even when crossing the road, the neighborhood aunties wearing red armbands whistled...

*

At five o'clock in the afternoon, under the big willow tree beside the moat, a table of aunts were playing mahjong.

"Chunjuan, you are so lucky. Not only did you marry a good husband, but you also gave birth to a good son! He is tall, handsome, and sensible. He must be the reincarnation of Wenquxing!"

"That's right! Her Xiao Li is really excellent and has been obedient since he was young! Every night in my dreams, I wish Xiao Li was my son!"

"You are only 19 years old and you are so hardworking. You will definitely be very successful in the future and I will take you to enjoy happiness!"

The middle-aged woman with curly hair smiled quietly and gently, but her eyes were very wise and firm.

"You can't say that. Our Xiao Li is just an ordinary child. As long as he is happy, that's all that matters. I don't care about anything else."

As expected, I received a lot of jokes.

"Oh, you said it right away, isn't that your Xiao Li?"

The women at the table stopped drawing cards and turned to look at the intersection.

The young man, wearing a simple white T-shirt, was enveloped in the dazzling sunlight, holding an ordinary plastic bag in his hand, and walked towards the glorious scene.

The Light of Lianhua Hutong—Zhang Li.

*

"Mom, I bought your favorite peaches at the intersection,"

Zhang Li opened the bag and showed it to the curly-haired woman, then smiled and greeted the others at the table.

"Hello, aunties."

Mother Zhang immediately got up from the card table and said, "Oh, I don't want to play anymore. I'm going home to cook!"

Left with my baby son.

Behind me, my fellow card players were making sour jokes.

"If I had such an outstanding son, I wouldn't play cards either. I would laugh myself to death when I looked at the ceiling when I got home..."

Mother Zhang glanced at the bag and muttered,

"Why did you buy more candied haws? Your dad and I don't eat them, and you don't eat them either... It's such a waste to buy them for the tree on the balcony every day..."

Zhang Li smiled and didn't talk back.

After that, Zhang's mother stopped talking. When she got downstairs, she suddenly remembered:

"By the way, I've rented out your room upstairs. Go up there and pack your things later."

The entire building where we live is Zhang's mother's dowry. The first to third floors are rented out, and the fourth floor is our own home.

The house on the fifth floor was also renovated and had always been occupied by Zhang Li. He had too many books and liked to be alone in peace, so he had been living upstairs for the past two years.

"Why did you rent it out suddenly?" he asked casually.

Mother Zhang said,

"Today a little girl came to our supermarket and asked about renting a house. She said she came to City A to study alone. She was so pretty and I fell in love with her at first sight! She looked so innocent and clean. There are so many good and bad people in this area. How can I trust her? So I rented the house upstairs to her."

Zhang Li nodded and had no objection.

"it is good."

When they got home, Zhang's mother gave half of the peach to Zhang Li.

"These peaches are delicious. Send half of them upstairs for Xiao Tang to eat. She doesn't look like she can cook, so why not ask her to come down for dinner later..."

Zhang Li paused in changing his shoes.

"Mom, what's the last name of the person upstairs?"

The answer came from the kitchen.

"Xiao Tang, of course your last name is Tang, and your name is pretty nice, Tang Shu... By the way, you can take out the garbage..."

Not hearing a reply, the woman came out in confusion. Where was the person at the entrance? Where was her son?

Zhang Li carried the plastic bag and walked up the stairs in three or five steps. He stopped at the door of the fifth floor but did not dare to knock.

Will it be her this time?

*

Zhang Li remembered that everything happened five years ago.

That night he had a dream. A fairy in white clothes was flying in the air and glared at him with disgust all night.

Finally, I'll leave you with one sentence.

"If you dare to bully my little holly in the future, I will burn you to ashes!"

When he woke up the next day, all his memories of Tang Shu and the past came back to him.

So for five years, Zhang Li has been waiting for her.

The original Tang Shu is still there in this world, and Zhang Li has secretly gone to see her.

The daughter of the Tang family, a pampered and spoiled girl.

Zhang Li only took one look and knew that she was not his Shushu.

Now.... are you finally here to find him?

Zhang Li's usually cold and indifferent face showed a rare look of nervousness. He lowered his head to check his clothes and tidied his hair before knocking on the door.

After knocking a few times but no one answered, a girl's scream suddenly came from inside.

"Ah! Help!"

Zhang Li immediately took out the key to open the door, then ran into the bathroom following the sound.

*

The water pipes in the innermost shower room were gurgling. The tall and petite girl was half-kneeling in front of the faucet, awkwardly blocking the splashing water with her hands.

I turned around when I heard footsteps, and my eyes turned red the moment I saw Zhang Li.

She was wet all over, crying to him with grievance,

"Brother Zhang, the water pipe suddenly burst..."

Although it was an unfamiliar face, Zhang Li recognized her immediately.

It’s her Shushu.

finally come.
