Return To 1998

Xi Xiaoqian glanced at Tongdao Xu, Oh, good! I'll go right now!

Saying that, she quickly walked to Tongdao Xu's side.

Not long after, she came to Tongdao Xu, but frowned slightly, because she saw Tongdao Xu and Tonglin Xu were already packing up, and they were ready to pack up and go home.

Xu Tongdao, who was cleaning the charcoal fire in the oven, heard footsteps, turned his face and saw that it was the long-haired man's sister, and he subconsciously glanced at the shoes on her feet.

Because the moment he saw her, he remembered the pair of very clean white sneakers she wore on his feet last time he came over. He remembered that a word flashed in his mind at that time: such white shoes, if you don't step on them, It's a pity.

You still have guests eating here! Are you going to close the stall and go back?

Xi Xiaoqian frowned and asked him.

Tongdao Xu replied with a faint smile, Let's clean up first, and we will leave when the guests leave.

Xi Xiaoqian smiled inexplicably and skipped the topic, Oh, that's it! Then you can bake another eggplant for me! Okay?

As she said that, she stretched out her hand and took out the money from the pocket of the apron around her waist. Unexpectedly, Tongdao Xu shook his head with a smile, Sorry! We are all sold out.

Sold out? I want an eggplant, do you have any left? Xi Xiaoqian, who was paying out, raised her head in surprise.

Xu Tongdao hummed.

In fact, his grilled eggplant here is the first to sell out.

The five young people who came to him tonight to order a lot of food, they needed 30 grilled eggplants per mouthful. At that time, they roasted only a few eggplants here. Later, they sold a few more copies one after another, so Gone early.

Xi Xiaoqian frowned and looked at Xu Tongdao's plastic basket for the ingredients, and seeing that there was indeed nothing in it, she sighed, squeezed a smile, and said, Oh, that's fine! Then I'll buy it again tomorrow. Go! Go first!

Saying that, he waved his hand, turned around and left.

Tongdao Xu subconsciously looked at the shoes on her feet. Tonight, she was wearing a pair of black sneakers, which looked clean.

Inexplicably, another very strange thought flashed in his mind: such black shoes, even if you step on them a few times, you can't see them, right?

...

About half an hour later, the last table of guests finished eating and left.

Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin worked together to clean up the dining table, and then started to carry things on the tricycle and put them back.

What he didn't notice was that Fatty Lu and Xi Dongyang both glanced at their backs when they pushed the tricycle to close the stall early.

Fatty Lu sighed with his wife who came over to serve the dishes: Alas, these two little things may not be able to be chased away from this stall in a short period of time. After this evening, they will be able to gain a firm foothold here!

His wife sighed, It's useless to be bald!

Fatty Lu gave her a sideways look, frowned, and said, That's not what you said! Didn't you see how many people came to support those two boys tonight? It's normal for the bald head to suffer!

...

In contrast, Xi Dongyang from the adjacent booth was much silent. He just frowned and glanced at Tongdao Xu's back, with a gloomy look between his brows.

...

Xu Tongdao, who went back to the rental house, moved things from the car into the house. Xu Tonglin was arranged by him to go into the house to cook a late-night snack. The weather was a bit sultry tonight. Anyway, he was already hungry.

After everything was moved into the house, Xu Tonglin's noodles hadn't been cooked yet, so Xu Tongdao took a towel, washbasin and soap and went outside the landlord's kitchen, where he took a shower with the tap.

Renting here, the rent is cheap, and everything else is good, except that it is not convenient to take a bath.

Fortunately, the yard was very quiet at this time, and no one was there.

Tongdao Xu took off only a pair of pants at the faucet, and was shirtless, washing his hair and bathing in the dark.

The cold tap water rushed on his head, which made his scalp cool for a while, and his mind was clear. He grabbed soap and smeared it on his head a few times, and it was regarded as shampoo.

When he was burying his head and washing his hair, he remembered the six months when he went to work in the south of Yuanshi-Space. At that time, he also rented an apartment and took cold showers every day until the cold air dropped in December, when a cold shower finally let him I have a cold.

Thinking of this past event, he couldn't help smiling, a little nostalgic, but also a little emotional: the South is better! How much money can you save on boiling bath water each year?

By the way, the South that he had in mind... For the locals there, all out-of-towners are northerners, so the cold air there always comes late every year.

Thinking of that city, Xu Tongdao hesitated in his heart.

Reason told him that if he went to that city at this time, even if he set up a street stall there to sell barbecue, he would be able to make money much faster than this small county town in his hometown.

It's a DC city after all.

but……

Thinking of the mother, brother, and sister at home, Tongdao Xu immediately dismissed the idea.

After all, the city is still too far away from here. If he goes there, if there is anything at home, it will be difficult for him to take care of it.

For the time being, let's be a jerk in this county! When Xiaolu and Yuzhu are a little bigger, let's talk about this...

With these thoughts in his mind, Tongdao Xu wiped the water droplets from his hair and face with a towel, and began to rinse his body. The rushing tap water rushed down his shoulders, causing him to shiver.

In such a late night, it is still a bit cold to take a shower with tap water.

He could feel goosebumps all over his skin, but he still stood up straight, because the cold feeling reminded him that he was poor now, and he had to bear it before he could get money.

At this moment, in the quiet yard, there was a sudden squeak, which was the sound of the wooden door opening.

Xu Tongdao subconsciously looked at the sound.

It was the twin sisters' door that opened, and Wei Qiuju, with dark skin, short hair, and a red basketball uniform, came out of the door with a big stride, and it felt like he was walking like a giant.

Just a few steps out of the door, she seemed to sense something, turned her face towards Xu Tongdao, and her indifferent eyes immediately focused on Xu Tongdao, the stinky man who was barely clothed.

At that moment, she stopped in her footsteps.

Just looking at Tongdao Xu coldly, Tongdao Xu clearly heard her cold snort, and then withdrew his eyes and continued to walk towards the toilet.

When he was about to reach the toilet door, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to Xu Tongdao and said in a cold voice, Hey! I warn you! You are not allowed to bathe shirtless in the future! Don't you know that there are girls living in this yard? Did you hear?

The tone is very rude, and there is no girl's natural fear of boys at all.

Tongdao Xu frowned, subconsciously wanting to refute it, not to mention that it is normal to be shirtless in the countryside, only that it is already midnight, and he is still wearing shorts...

However, when the words were about to come out, he suddenly held back.

Because he thought of her sister Wei Chunlan, the girl who seemed to be very shy... and even helped him pick a thorn in his hand!

Even if it is to show her sister Wei Chunlan's face, he should tolerate this Wei Qiuju.

So, he hummed and agreed.

But in his heart, his impression of this Wei Qiuju must be a lot worse.

At least this girl is very unsympathetic. If he has the conditions to take a hot bath in the house, does he need to wash under the tap in the yard in the middle of the night?
