Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 138 Buying Books (2)



 The three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family set off from home at eight o'clock on time.

Before leaving, Zhou Guoqiang repeatedly told the eldest Dabao: "Dabao, you are the eldest, you must take care of your younger sisters and younger brothers, do you hear me? After arriving at Xinhua Bookstore, buy the books and come back. Don't stay in the city too long."

There is no parent who is not worried about their children. If it were not for the thirteen-year-old Dabao, he would not be able to let Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiaobao go to Xinhua Bookstore with confidence.

Dabao has grown very fast. At the age of thirteen, he is already almost 1.7 meters tall. From a distance, he looks like a big boy. Even two or three classmates who are physically strong are no match for him.

Dabao calmly sat in the car and motioned for Xiaobao to sit in the back seat: "Dad, don't worry! I will keep an eye on them."

Zhou Guoqiang thought to himself, just don’t take them out to play around.

The three brothers and sisters rode two bicycles and wandered all the way. Anyway, they had plenty of time, so there was no need to rush. Xinhua Bookstore is right between Qiming Middle School and Yingming Middle School, so Dabao is very familiar with the road and doesn't have to worry about finding the wrong place.

There is only one wide road leading from the nearby villages to the county seat, so it is not surprising to meet a few acquaintances on the road.

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and greeted the third adult from the same village who was riding a bicycle. I muttered in my heart: There seem to be a lot of people going to the city!

●There are more opportunities to work in the city now. I heard that many people are doing part-time work for others. You get paid for one day's work, so most of the people on this road are those who go to the city to work.

Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiaobao were talking when they suddenly heard a familiar voice yelling from behind: "Zhou Xiaoyun, wait for us!"

Huh? Isn't this Li Tianyu's voice?

Zhou Xiaoyun looked back and saw that it was indeed Li Tianyu and Gu Chunlai coming over on bicycles.

There is no place in life where we don’t meet each other! It’s okay to see her every day in school, but why do we bump into her on the road this Sunday?

Zhou Xiaoyun didn't really want to talk to him, but he stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Besides, my classmates have been in the same position for more than a year now, so I couldn’t do anything to embarrass anyone, so I said, “You guys should go to the city too!”

Li Tianyu was very happy about this unexpected encounter. When he saw the back of Zhou Xiaoyun from a distance, he urged Gu Chunlai to chase after him on his bicycle with all his strength. When he got closer, he saw that it was actually Zhou Xiaoyun, which made him very happy and shouted loudly.

Now it’s even more pleasant to see Zhou Xiaoyun looking at Li Tianyu with a good face: “Yes, what are you brothers and sisters doing in the city?”

Zhou Xiaoyun’s elder brother and younger brother Li Tianyu are all familiar with each other. Of course he was deeply impressed when Dabao came to pick a fight with him. The clingy Xiaobao stood at the door of the classroom when school was over and waited for Zhou Xiaoyun to go home with him. Li Tianyu had seen him many times.

Zhou Xiaoyun said vaguely: "Go to Xinhua Bookstore."

Li Tianyu said in surprise: "What a coincidence! Gu Chunlai and I also went to Xinhua Bookstore. Let's go together!"

Regardless of whether the three brothers and sisters were happy or not, Li Tianyu just pedaled side by side with Zhou Xiaoyun's car.

Gu Chunlai smiled sullenly and rode behind him. What else could he do? You can't say, "Yes, we are going to Xinhua Bookstore, but the destination is not Xinhua Bookstore but the nearby game arcades!"

Qiming Middle School and Yingming Middle School have a relatively prosperous street. After all, they are engaged in student business, so in addition to bookstores, clothing stores, barber shops and gift shops, there are many game console rooms on that street, attracting many game console enthusiasts.

  After Gu Chunlai visited twice, he took Li Tianyu to play. He could buy more than a dozen game console brands for one dollar and could play for most of the day. Those with high skills could not play all the game consoles in a day.

 Which boy of 12 or 13 years old doesn’t love playing video games? It is especially easy to become addicted, and many children have become wasted because of playing video game consoles.

Li Tianyu is one of them, but Zhou Xiaoyun knows this history of Li Tianyu. When I was in a relationship, I often heard Li Tianyu boast about his history of playing video games. It is said that it can be traced back to elementary school. Later, he continued to play games in junior high school, but his grades were a mess, so he stopped studying after graduating from junior high school.

I guess when I went to the county town with Gu Chunlai today, I went to the game console room!

Zhou Xiaoyun watched the winking interaction between Li Tianyu and Gu Chunlai with cold eyes and finally said, "You two are going to play the game console!"

 Gu Chunlai replied subconsciously: "How do you know?"

Only when he saw Li Tianyu glaring at Gu Chunlai did he react: "It's nothing, don't talk nonsense. Li Tianyu and I are going to Xinhua Bookstore to buy composition books."

Li Tianyu nodded desperately in agreement: "Yes, yes, we are going to buy composition books."

A pair of duplicitous guys. Li Tianyu always blinks his eyes fiercely when he lies. This is a very familiar action to Zhou Xiaoyun. She remembered that when she was with Li Tianyu in the past, she would immediately tell if Li Tianyu was not telling the truth, which made Li Tianyu secretly wonder why he could not escape her dazzling eyes.

Thinking about it now, I still feel a little fluttering in my heart. After all, they have spent such a long time!

Zhou Xiaoyun, who was lost in memories, was startled by the loud horn of the truck in front of him, and quickly retracted his mind. There was really no distraction when riding on the road.

 Back to the topic just now: "Don't worry, I won't report to Teacher Fang." She doesn't like to complain to the teacher.

Li Tianyu looked at Zhou Xiaoyun's disapproving profile and suddenly felt that his behavior seemed wrong...

“We really didn’t go to play video games. If you don’t believe it, just wait and see. Gu Chunlai and I will definitely go to Xinhua Bookstore with you.” Li Tianyu decided to go to Xinhua Bookstore with brother and sister Zhou Xiaoyun.

 Game console? Let’s talk about it later!

Gu Chunlai was quite unhappy, but did not dare to raise objections. Xiaoyun said it nicely this week, but what if they entered the game console room in front of her and she went to tell Teacher Fang behind her back?

 Come on, risk your life to accompany the gentleman and go to Xinhua Bookstore!

Zhou Xiaoyun was thinking about this question repeatedly in her mind: Should she take this opportunity to properly persuade Li Tianyu?

After being a classmate for a year and a half, Zhou Xiaoyun discovered that Li Tianyu was actually very smart. Despite his carelessness, he could learn everything very quickly. It's a pity that his playful nature is similar to that of Dabao, and he doesn't focus on studying at all. If Li Tianyu can study hard, his grades should be good.

Now that she knows that Li Tianyu is becoming obsessed with playing video game consoles, should she persuade him to step back from the brink? No matter how much she doesn't want to have contact with him, she doesn't want him to follow the same old path!

Zhou Xiaoyun sincerely hopes that Li Tianyu will no longer neglect his studies and accomplish nothing like he did in his previous life.

  In any case, he was once the most important person she loved most in her life...
