Chapter 12 The Third Arrow
In the early morning, Xia Yu wakes up from a repeated nightmare and hears soothing music coming from the opposite side.
The sound insulation of the old house has always been poor, coupled with the rising temperature at night, before going to bed, he opened the small screen window on the security door, convection with the window of the bedroom, and the cool breeze from the hallway filled the room.
This is a common way to cool down the old house. I think the small window on the security door opposite is also open at this moment.
In the past, Xia Yu always worked night shifts, and he didn't like to expose his living space. During the day, he rarely opened the small windows, and only used the fan in the house to cool down. Although the effect was mediocre, it was considered quiet.
At this moment, his eyes were blurred, and he walked slowly to the door, intending to close the small screen window on the door, but through two windows, he saw the scene in the living room opposite the door.
Cupid and Grandpa Qiu stood side by side, following the sound of the broadcast on the radio, doing Tai Chi together.
"Qiu, you white crane spreads its wings and you are so uninspired." Grandpa Qiu guided Cupid, pulling his arms to make movements, "You have to, eh, let it stretch out—that's how it is." It's the white crane, you looked like a quail just now."
Cupid was quite patient with the old man, with a sullen face, repeating the action seriously, "Is that so?"
Grandpa Qiu looked at it for a while, "It's about the same, I still need to practice for a few days.", "There is also this awkward step, the legs have to be stretched... Our house is small, so we have to stagger the elbows. .”
Cupid muttered in a low voice: "Then I would have made a mistake..."
Xia Yu stood in front of the door, pursed her lips and snickered, watched Cupid's wrong Tai Chi for a while, and then slowly closed the small window.
Xia Yu returned to the bed, and within 5 minutes of lying down, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Xia Yu, are you awake?" Cupid's voice came from outside the door, "I just told you to go downstairs to do the nucleic acid test, please pack up quickly and come to my house for breakfast after finishing the nucleic acid test!"
Xia Yu didn't want to talk to him at first, but when he heard that he was going to do nucleic acid, he tidied up, put on a mask and opened the door.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the three members of the Qiu family standing at his door, as if they were waiting for him.
"Brother Xia Yu, good morning!" Cupid was tall, and he looked down on anyone when he spoke.
But his eyes are big and the eye sockets are very round, like a docile and cute large pet, which will not give people any sense of oppression.
Xia Yu nodded, and also asked how she was doing: "Grandpa and Grandma, good morning..." and turned to Cupid, "Good morning."
Cupid took the arms of his grandparents and helped them go downstairs, talking louder than usual and walking more slowly.
Xia Yu walked slowly behind them, watching Cupid settle the old couple down the stairs, and carefully check the masks they were wearing, and took them to the end of the nucleic acid team after checking.
The old man has poor hearing and cannot hear what the medical staff under the protective clothing are saying.Cupid was right next to them, guiding them: "Open your mouth, open it wider... Hey, okay! Come and drink some water, is your throat hurting?"
After the nucleic acid test, the residential committee of the community armed them and invited them to the side to apply for a pass. "At present, only one person in a family can go out to purchase a day, and they must use their certificates and record the time and itinerary when they go in and out."
Dabai added: "But according to the nucleic acid results in the morning, new policies will be introduced at any time. It is best not to go out unless necessary, stay at home and wait for the announcement."
"Oh, it's so serious," Grandma Qiu began to worry, "Will it delay the college entrance examination?"
She still remembered that the college entrance examination was postponed for one month the year before last, and Cupid had a car accident two days before the college entrance examination. Something went wrong over time.
"Then I don't know, the epidemic is unpredictable, but isn't there still two months before the college entrance examination, and it shouldn't be delayed if it's dealt with." The speaker is probably a middle-aged woman, who is more considerate of the old man's anxiety mood, comforted patiently.
"I hope it won't be delayed... It's already a year late, and the child is under a lot of pressure." Grandma Qiu murmured.
Seeing that the two old people were depressed with worry, Cupid immediately tried to make them happy, "Oh, it's okay, it's a month late, so I have an extra month of review time. I'm away from home now. But be careful, the speed of cycling is almost not as good as walking."
While talking, he helped the two old people back and walked back: "I'm hungry, let's go home and eat quickly. I played Tai Chi with my grandfather all morning, and my stomach started singing. Eat first when we go home, and I will eat after eating." Still have to go to class."
Grandma Qiu woke up like a dream: "Oh, that's right, Qiu Qiu still has to go to class later." Then she turned around and patted her wife, "It's you who dragged Qiu Qiu to mess around with you early in the morning, Delay children's study time..."
Agong Qiu felt wronged: "I didn't pull him, it's because he thought it was fun to accompany me..."
"No, my grandpa is taking me to relax. The teacher said that at this stage, we can do some exercise to reduce stress." Cupid hurriedly helped grandpa clarify.
"That's right..." Grandfather Qiu hid behind Cupid and complained, "I always say that I delay Qiu's study..."
Auntie Qiu is a relatively strong person, she says one thing at home and occupies absolute dominance.
She turned around, looked at Xia Yu who was at the end, and said, "Xiao Xia, let Aqiu come to play with you more often in the future. You have a lot of knowledge, and you can take him to do sports and chat. Otherwise, he is a young man. Drinking tea, reading newspapers and playing Tai Chi with his grandfather all day long, how will he attract girls to like him in the future!"
Cupid supported Grandpa Qiu with one hand, and turned around when he heard the words, and looked at Xia Yu: "That's right, Brother Xia Yu, why don't you play with me more in the future."
Xia Yu has never shown much face to Cupid, if there are only him and Cupid now, he will refuse without even thinking about it.
It's just that there are Grandpa Qiu and Grandma Qiu, and the two old people looked at him with smiles, their eyes full of expectation.
A few years earlier, his family and friends also looked at him like this, praising him for being sensible, kind, and capable...
Now, the bar where he works is also closed. Without this income, he has completely become a social idler, with a disheveled face and a penniless body—to play with someone like him, maybe it’s better to ask Cupid to go back Play Tai Chi with the radio.
"Xiao Xia?" Grandma Qiu called him again, "Did you wake up too early and haven't woken up yet?"
The old man walked into the corridor, still muttering: "After you have finished your breakfast later, I will make you two cups of that... coffee, coffee. Qiu always drinks it when he stays up late, and he will be refreshed after drinking that."
Grandpa Qiu walked tremblingly, and added: "But you can't drink that stuff all the time, it will get angry, so why don't you drink some tea...Xiao Xia, do you have tea at home, grandpa will bring you some later... ..."
"Right, it's better to drink some tea!" Cupid also mixed in, telling Xia Yu together.
Xia Yu glanced at him, and Cupid immediately fell silent, and ran to grab Auntie Qiu's arm with his neck curled up.
Xia Yu once raised a golden retriever, who usually flaunts his power at home and shakes his head. When he goes out to meet a barking little Pomeranian, he will immediately hide behind him with his tail between his legs.
Cupid reminds Xia Yu of the golden retriever.
But on second thought, if Cupid is a golden retriever, then who is a Pomeranian?
Himself?
Go to him!
