If you cut in, you will get hit. Do you call this a driving school instructor?

After the evening rush hour, the roads were not so congested. On the way home, Gu Yin drove at full speed on the elevated road and hardly stepped on the brakes. After getting off the elevated road, he was waiting for the traffic light when he noticed the time displayed on the car's dashboard.

"It's already past ten o'clock?" Gu Yin couldn't help scratching his head and said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I went home so late."

After resigning and no longer having to drive for an online ride-hailing car, he has been living such a comfortable and easy life lately that it seems like the fat on his belly is about to burst out.

However, this trend will not last long. If you start a business next time, you will be running around and will not have time to do anything useful every day.

"Aha..."

Thinking of this, Gu Yin yawned and thought to himself that he had really fallen into depravity. He was sleepy at 10 o'clock. In the past, he would play until after 12 o'clock...

Do you have the nerve to call the current generation of stinky young people if you don't go to bed until the early morning? !
Not only was he sleepy, he was also a little hungry. Unfortunately, at this time, the snack street near his home should have closed down. When he passed by, Gu Yin saw from a distance that all the lights were off...

It's like this in a small county town. Basically, there are no people on the streets after eight or nine o'clock. Everyone goes home to rest. Those who have nothing to do after dinner and go out for a walk to digest their food and the group of uncles and aunts who dance in the square and shout all go to bed early.

Gu Yin thought that his mother and sister should have gone to bed, and the noise of cooking at home would wake them up again. Gu Yin had no choice but to plan to go hungry tonight...

Oh, I won’t be hungry when I fall asleep.

Anyway, I've gained a lot of weight during the Chinese New Year, so I'll just consider it as losing weight.

It is worth mentioning that tonight, Gu Yin drove into the community and stopped downstairs. He had already gotten out of the car, walked two steps and just entered the stairs, when he suddenly stopped...

"grass……"

Shouting the name of a plant, Gu Yin had no choice but to drag his tired body back to the car, sit back in the driver's seat, and drive away from home.

"Ugh……"

As he drove, he sighed helplessly, and a helpless bitter smile appeared on Gu Yin's face.

I almost forgot that my car was damaged. I almost drove it downstairs of my house. Gu's mother's legs were not very good and it was inconvenient for her to walk, but those nosy neighbors would chat with her all the time...

I hate these "intelligence station chiefs" the most. Damn, none of them are good.

In the demolition community, after 10 o'clock, the street lights were turned off to save energy. The community was quiet. Most of the lights on the upper floors, which were not densely populated, were turned off. Basically, everyone went to sleep...

Gu Yin originally thought that he was the only one in the neighborhood who came home late, but after he had taken a few steps, a bright yellow high beam flashed in his eyes from a distance.

"Click click click..."

Gu Yin flashed twice, and the other party was very sensible and turned off the high beam. Only then did Gu Yin realize that it seemed to be a truck.

"No wonder the lamp is so high..."

Gu Yin curled his lips. He was actually a little puzzled at the time. Who would move house at this time of night?

When they moved here from the village, Gu Yin had actually heard from Gu's mother that generally the local moving companies only moved in the morning, one household a day, and did not accept orders in the afternoon.

It's not that I'm too busy to move, but there seems to be a local custom that says we don't move in the afternoon...

Gu Yin didn't know the specifics, but he had never seen people moving in the afternoon in his local area, let alone this kind of thing...

It’s already past eleven o’clock and it’s almost midnight when we move.

I've heard of people wearing red clothes and jumping off the roof at midnight to become ghosts, but I've never heard of moving at midnight. To be honest, Gu Yin was a little curious about what the meaning was, but he didn't dare to think too much about it in the end...

Oh, damn it, it's late at night, and there are only him and the two trucks opposite in the whole community. If he runs into something dirty in the middle of the night, it would be unlucky enough.

The roads in the resettlement housing complex were relatively wide, and the truck was not very big, so Gu Yin easily met the car and drove out without even looking back.

He parked his car at the south gate of the community. His home is closer to the north gate. The main road is not far from the north gate. Most shops and supermarkets are also on the south side of the north gate. Generally, not many people go to the south gate, so it is safer to park there.

The temperature difference between day and night is huge in the north. As midnight approached, the wind was carrying a bit of chilliness. I couldn't feel it when I was in the car, but once I got out of the car, the breeze almost made Gu Yin fall over...

What a terrible wind from the north!
It’s no wonder that people in the north generally have poor lungs and trachea. It’s windy and dusty all day long, and the air quality is poor. It would be strange if their lung function could be good.

Gu Yin thought to herself that it was a good thing that it rained today, otherwise the strong wind would continue to blow for a few more days, and Gu's mother shouldn't go out, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand the air and would have to go to the hospital again...

"Oh yes!"

Speaking of this, Gu Yin suddenly remembered that the air purifier he bought seemed to have arrived. The courier from JD.com called him this morning.

Air purifiers, what should I say?

In the past, Gu Yin once thought it was a waste of money.

Because this thing is not like a water purifier that you can taste, but as for this air thing, as long as we ordinary people don’t have any special smell and don’t feel shortness of breath, who the hell can know whether the air we breathe is purified?

That thing is invisible again...

In the past, the whole family depended on Gu Yin alone for support. The money he earned was used for Gu's mother's medical treatment and Gu Yue's schooling. It would cost a thousand, eight hundred yuan to buy an air purifier, and that was the cheapest one, so he couldn't afford it.

Since I have some extra money recently, I thought of giving it a try.

He didn't believe it, but his mother had a bad trachea and had been going to the hospital every day for the whole winter. He couldn't just ignore her life and death, right?

For my mother, I have to pay the IQ tax.

Gu Yin walked home while looking down at the usage process of the air purifier on his mobile phone. The road was quiet, but Gu Yin was not afraid.

In the past, Gu Yin rarely walked at night, and he was afraid to walk occasionally, but then he thought about a problem, which was...

How did Piao come about?

It came after humans.

If ghosts exist, then it proves that people will turn into ghosts after death.

And if I am possessed by a ghost, will I also become a ghost?
Then come and get me if you have the guts. I’ll get you even if I become a ghost!

It was so funny to think about these things, and before he knew it, Gu Yin had arrived at the bottom of his building.

Just after turning the corner, Gu Yin was stunned...

"No, this..."

Looking at the truck parked in front of the stairs of his house, Gu Yin couldn't help but twitch his mouth. That car seemed to be the truck that met him when he left the community just now. Gu Yin really didn't expect that this car could park in front of the stairs of his house.

"You're not really coming for me, are you?"

Gu Yin was so frightened that he was a little afraid to go upstairs. After all, he was a grown man, so he forced himself to be brave and then walked over...

There was no one in front of the car, and the lights were not on. Gu Yin couldn't see clearly in the pitch black, and he didn't have the energy to look, so he had to go upstairs quickly.

It is worth mentioning that there was a tempting aroma of instant noodles wafting in the corridor. Gu Yin, who was already a little hungry, really felt his mouth watering a lot more.

But he didn't dare to stay, and quickly rushed upstairs, came to his door, opened it and rushed in.

He ran straight to his room without even changing his shoes. Only after he snuggled into bed did Gu Yin feel a long-lost sense of security.

I don’t know if you have ever had this feeling: if you are really afraid of ghosts when you sleep at night, you wrap yourself tightly in the quilt, as if the quilt can protect you.

Gu Yin has had this feeling since childhood anyway...

He was in a daze and didn't know what time he fell asleep. Gu Yin knew that when he woke up the next day, it was not too late, it seemed to be just after seven o'clock.

"Ooooooooo!!!"

The sound of a rooster crowing outside the window woke Gu Yin up. He picked up his phone and looked at the time. He couldn't help but sit up, opened the window and shouted outside:

"Whose fucking chickens are these?!"

Most of the people who moved into the house were from the village. It was very common for rural people to grow crops and raise chickens, but the problem was that this wasn't the village...

Shouting your mom at around seven in the morning!
I went to bed late last night, so if Gu Yin gets up now, he will have slept for more than seven hours a day. Normally, the sleep time should be eight hours a day. Isn't this embarrassing?

No one outside responded to him, and he could only hear the rooster continue to crow "cock-a-doodle-doo", which made Gu Yin feel very sick...

I put on my clothes and went out. In the living room, Gu Yue was watching TV. It was the weekend and she didn't have school. Gu's mother was kneading dough. She was planning to steam buns for lunch. She even prepared the filling: water radish, meat, and vermicelli.

In Gu Yin's opinion, this filling is much better than the leek filling. The leek filling is so delicious that he has eaten it countless times since he was a child. Gu Yin gets a headache when he sees it.

There is just a problem...

That is, eating radish will cause you to fart easily.

Seeing Gu Yin coming out of the room with messy hair, Gu's mother glanced at him and said unhappily, "You haven't even gotten up yet when the steamed buns are ready."

After that, he pointed to the kettle and said, "Go, boil a kettle of water. We have no water to drink."

This is his biological mother. Gu Yin seldom goes to the kitchen when his mother is cooking. A big reason for this is that when his mother sees him, she has to order him around.

"Ahaha..." Gu Yin yawned, also an old master of yin and yang: "I'll wash my face first."

As he said that, he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash up.

As he walked, he called out to Gu Yue who was lying on the sofa, "Go, boil a kettle of water."

Gu Yue: “(￢_￢) look”

"The big lazy one orders the little lazy one around!" Mother Gu couldn't help but complain.

Gu Yin is a talented person. After brushing his teeth and washing up, he went to the toilet. When he came out, the water had just boiled and Gu Yue just rushed into the thermos, which made Yi Moduo complain about this guy's laziness.

Gu Yin waved his hand casually: "You get paid for each job you do, and I'll give you a red envelope later."

Gu Yue, who originally complained about her brother, suddenly turned into a good sister, calling her brother all the right and wrong. She also made a pot of tea for Gu Yin, and her ugly face was clearly visible.

Mother Gu shook her head and asked Gu Yin: "Do you know about the new neighbor who moved in downstairs?"

"Neighbor?" Gu Yin scratched his head, recalling the truck downstairs last night.

"Are you talking about the one who moved house late at night last night?" Gu Yin curled his lips.

"Yes," Gu Ma nodded and said frankly, "It's a little girl, she's pretty, her workplace is not far from here, so she rents a house here."

“Mom, how do you know so much?” Gu Yin felt a little scared, thinking that she was so well-informed, and she wouldn’t know about the news that his car had been… damaged again, right?

"Oh~" Aunt Gu waved her hands, obviously not noticing anything unusual, and said bluntly: "The house downstairs belongs to your cousin. I rented it out for him. How could I not know?"

Gu Yin's house is a resettlement house. Generally speaking, the residents of resettlement houses used to be from the same village. Like Gu Yin's house, the entire building is basically full of people from the same village.

The upstairs is my cousin's house, and the downstairs is my great-uncle's house. Both sets of elder people have now moved to the city with their son, and the houses are basically empty. Occasionally, I would ask Aunt Gu to look at the house, and if someone wants to rent it, I would take them to see it and discuss the details.

They are all useless social conventions that only make you tired.

Gu Yin was too lazy to complain. He wanted to use his phone to send a message to Xia Qianyi, but just as he unlocked the screen, he heard Gu's mother say, "That girl looks familiar to me, and I seem to have seen that name somewhere before. Hey, Gu Yin, was there someone named Yu Jie in your class before?"

Gu Yin was stunned when he heard this...

"What???"

No, Yu Jie moved downstairs from his house?

What a strange fate this is, my dear mother...

You are not kidding me!
"Why don't you go down and take a look..." Aunt Gu pointed outside and said, "She is moving things right now. The girl is very busy at work and sometimes she often works overtime until late at night. I heard she was still moving things when you came back last night."

"...You weren't asleep yet when I came back?" Gu Yinxin said that he should have cooked some instant noodles earlier.

"What are you saying?" Gu Ma rolled her eyes at him. "How can I sleep if you don't come back?"

This is what being a mother is like. You have to worry about anyone who is not at home.

In order to prevent Gu's mother from nagging him about how it was unsafe for him to talk on the phone while driving, Gu Yin simply put on his shoes and left the house.

Seeing her son run away as soon as he heard that there was a beautiful girl tenant downstairs, Mother Gu couldn't help but curse angrily: "...He has no conscience!"

As for Gu Yue...

Let me tell you, the benefit of Gu Yin not sending Gu Yue and Xia Qianyi a WeChat message has been realized at this time, otherwise Gu Yue would have sent a message to Xia Qianyi right now!
A stinky spy who is only interested in profit!
The air in the early morning was very fresh. When Gu Yin walked out of the corridor, he felt not only the cool air but also the bright sunshine. To be honest, it was quite comfortable and warm, but Gu Yin's eyes were still attracted by the woman in front of him.

The sunshine not only fell on the earth, but also on Gu Yin's body, and on the ponytail that the woman in front of him casually tied.

When the tall woman holding the cardboard box turned around, her hair was a little messy and there was a hint of fatigue between her eyebrows, but the moment she saw Gu Yin, she was still stunned.

Isn't it... really such a coincidence?
