Return To 1998

The two rooms on the left side of the main room and the one on the side of the yard are furnished with a wardrobe and a newly-made wooden bed.

Wu Changxing introduced: Xiaodao, this room is prepared for you, how is it? Are you satisfied?

The room is not big, but it is clean and tidy. There is a bedside table next to the bed. Tongdao Xu is very satisfied, Not bad! Yes!

Then Wu Changxing took everyone to see the adjacent room, Rooster, Linzi! This room is for the two of you to live in temporarily. I have made a bunk for you, let's see if you can do it.

Ge Lianghua and Xu Tonglin eagerly watched.

The door opened, and the inside was about the same size as Xu Tongdao’s just now. There was also a wardrobe and a bunk made of wood. Opposite the bed was an aluminum alloy window, and outside the window was an alley.

For two people to live in such a small room, it is definitely not spacious.

But this room is better than fresh, translucent, everything is new, and it is refreshing to look at.

Xu Tonglin was as happy as an eighteen-year-old child, cheered, and ran in, looking here and touching there.

Not bad! Hey, this is much prettier than where Xiaodao and I live now! This new house looks so comfortable! Brother Rooster, do you like it?

The Rooster Ge Lianghua's expression was also satisfied, he walked over and opened the window, a breeze blew outside, and he closed his eyes comfortably, If I had a house like this, I would propose to Feng Qinghua tonight. , she must like it, maybe she will agree to marry me on the spot...

Xu Tongdao and others were amused by him.

While joking, Wu Changxing turned and pointed to the two small rooms on the east side of the main room, Xiaodao! The one outside is for your mother, and the one next to it is for you jade beads. According to your request, the original sundries outside are. The room has also been converted into a room, and I will go back to Xiaolu to live in. In the future, when Rooster and Linzi no longer live here, Xiaolu can live in the room they are living in now, and Xiaolu’s current small room can also be used as your guest room. , or it will be used as a utility room in the future, it’s fine, do you want to go and have a look?”

Xu Tongdao snorted and walked over to read all the three rooms.

At present, there is no soft decoration in this house, such as curtains, home appliances, etc., which have not been configured.

But Xu Tongdao is satisfied with the effect of hard-fitting.

It's 1999, and he only spent 10,000 pieces to decorate with such an effect, and he can't ask for more.

kitchen and bathroom,

He also went to have a look.

The kitchen is not big. The countertops for side dishes are made of cement boards. There is also a countertop for the liquefied gas stove.

The bathroom... also has a ceiling, the walls and floor are covered with tiles, and there is a shower on the wall. When Xu Tongdao was looking at the bathroom, Wu Changxing introduced: I didn't buy a water heater for you, so I'll look back. What kind of water heater do you want, you can buy one yourself or let the rooster help you buy one, and the person who sells the water heater will install it for you.”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly handed the key in his hand to Tongdao Xu, By the way, Xiaodao, this is the key to your courtyard door and gate, and the key to the door is also strung on it! Now I Leave it all to you!

Tongdao Xu took it and said, Cousin, you've worked so hard this time! So, tonight! You go to my store, I'll cook you more dishes and have a good drink! Calculate the two's accounts, how much is left, and I will pay you all at that time!

Wu Changxing laughed, Okay! Then I won't be polite to you! I'll take a shower at night, change my clothes and go!

Xu Tongdao smiled and nodded.

...

The house has just been renovated, so of course you can't move in right away.

Need to ventilate for a few days, let it dry.

Therefore, Tongdao Xu and the others still live in the small courtyard they rented before.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to Sunday, September 12.

This afternoon, Xu Tongdao came back from work in the city. As soon as he entered the store, he saw his younger brother Xu Tonglu helping Xu Tonglin and Xi Dongyang to wear the ingredients with bamboo sticks.

Suddenly seeing his brother, Xu Tongdao remembered that today was Sunday.

Rest today?

He asked casually.

Xu Tonglu hummed.

Just take a day off? Xu Tongdao asked again.

Xu Tonglu shook his head, No, I have a half-day break in a week in No. 1 middle school, and I have dinner in the evening, so I have to go back to study at night!

Xu Tongdao: ...

He suddenly realized that going to high school is not an easy task.

Taking half a day off a week, and having to go to the evening for self-study, what is the difference between this and continuous rotation? This half-day is for the students to go home to collect living expenses, and take a bath by the way?

With a smile, Xu Tonglin raised his hand and patted Xu Tonglu's shoulder, Poor child! Come on, I'll support you mentally! Just stick with it for three more years! Haha...

The last laugh revealed his true inner thoughts.

Xu Tonglu looked at him coldly, with a bad expression.

With such a cold temperament of Xi Dongyang, the corners of his mouth rose slightly several times.

Xu Tongdao also wanted to laugh a little, but as a big brother, he couldn't laugh as exaggeratedly as Xu Tonglin.

What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you!

While talking, Tongdao Xu walked over to his younger brother, took out his wallet, and put out fifty dollars in front of him, This is your food bill for next week, is it enough?

Xu Tonglu nodded, Enough! I don't need so much.

Take it! If you need any study materials, buy them yourself, by the way...

Speaking, Xu Tongdao suddenly remembered something, took out the keychain on his body, and took off the house he bought... the courtyard key, the door key, and the room key, and handed it to Xu Tonglu.

These are the keys to our new house. I'll give you one. Your school is near there. If you have time, you can open the doors and windows and ventilate the house more. It's just been renovated there, so there's not much ventilation. No one can live there any time soon.”

Okay, I get it now.

Xu Tonglu looked at a few brand new keys with a complicated look in his eyes.

What do you want to eat tonight?

Tongdao Xu brought the topic back again.

Xu Tonglu shook his head, There's nothing special you want to eat, what do you want to eat, I'll just follow along and eat a little, you don't need to cook for me.

He didn't want to cause trouble to Xu Tongdao.

Xu Tongdao has lived for decades in the past and present. Of course, he can see that Xu Tonglu is careful.

He didn't continue to ask, just nodded, oh sound.

But at dinner that night, a large bowl of braised pork, two braised crucian carp, and a large bowl of pork ribs and kelp soup were brought out from the kitchen.

They are all dishes that Xu Tongdao loved to eat in his younger brother's memory.

As the old saying goes: the elder brother is like the father.

Although he is only one year older than his younger brother, but now his father is missing, his mother and younger sister are in his hometown, and his younger brother Xu Tonglu goes to school in this county, and is the closest to his elder brother. He will come to his elder brother for half a day on weekends. Naturally, he will give Brother for a meal.
