Guo Meili is an ordinary teacher majoring in instrumental music at the Magic City Conservatory of Music. She has a happy and perfect family. She is a very caring woman and has a natural enthusiasm for children.

Guo Meili and her husband Xu Yanzhen are very affectionate, and they will bring their children back to her husband's hometown every year to celebrate the New Year.Guo Meili, who likes children, has always had a special affection for her eldest nephew in her hometown, Xu You, who is honest and honest, and has a poor background. In other words, Guo Meili will overflow with love when she sees Xu You.

Therefore, when Xu You followed Xu Yanzhen to his home in Shanghai, he was warmly welcomed by Guo Meili.

"Liao Liao and Yuan Yuan both went to school. When they left, they kept talking about how to play marbles with the younger brother at night."

Guo Meili enthusiastically took out a lot of delicious food and put them on the tea table, which made Xu Wei's ears turn red with embarrassment.

Chen Zhibei, on the other hand, didn't have any special expression, but Chen Zhibei's face was always slumped, and he couldn't see anything.

"Originally, I wanted to let you live at home, but later your second master said that you would come with Beizi. I thought that Beizi was very independent since he was a child. I was relieved to have him take care of me. So, I gave You have found a house. The owner is a buddy of mine, and now he is abroad, and the house is vacant, and it happens to be vacant for you to live in, and you can pay three melons and two dates every month, which means you can do it at once." After lunch at noon During the meal, Xu Yanzhen sat on the sofa with Xu Er and Chen Zhibei, talking about the arrangements for the two of them.

"Beizi used to be in the army. I remember he was a special soldier. Can he drive? I have a friend who drives a taxi. I know a teacher who is a private taxi driver. I want to find someone who works the evening shift. I am tired. , but earn more.

Beizi, you are going around the city these few days, and you are driving with my buddy for a few days. I have a city map here, you take it first. "Speaking, Xu Yanzhen took out a hardcover map booklet and handed it to Chen Zhibei.

Chen Zhibei took it with both hands, and thanked him solemnly.

Xu Yanzhen waved his hand, "I've seen you since I was a child, and I know a little about your family's affairs. You're not poor. When you earn money, nothing matters."

"Xiao Er, I heard from your second master that you are partial to subjects, which is actually nothing. I showed you your college entrance examination results. You are really bad at taking the university entrance exam seriously. You can only go to night school. But the teachers in this night school are also very good. Your aunt’s school has a class. Although they are a music school, they also have a foreign language major. I signed up for you in English. You learn it first, and you can’t do it later. "Xu Yanzhen really liked Xu You, so he did his best for Xu You's affairs.

"Thank you third uncle, I will study hard." Xu Wei grinned happily when she heard that she was still able to go to school, and her eyes were almost gone.

"You can come to my place during the day, look at something, order something, it's not difficult. Uncle, I will pay you the same salary as others."

"No need, third uncle, just take care of the food." Third uncle was looking for a house for himself, and a school, and then paid wages, Xu Wei really didn't dare to take it.

"What's the matter with you bastard, I'll take it for you, and I'll be a good filial piety to your third uncle in the future." Xu Yanbin slapped Xu You on the head and scolded with a smile.

Xu You was right when he thought about it. Naturally, he wanted to honor the third uncle, so he nodded, "I will definitely respect the third uncle in the future."

"That's right, all right, take your things and go with me to see the house."

The city is so big that it takes half an hour to drive from Xu Yanzhen's house to the house Xu Yanzhen mentioned.In my hometown, driving for half an hour is the distance from the village to the town.

In the past, Xu You had always heard people say that the city is very big, as big as five towns.But now, Xu Wei felt that maybe the city was bigger than five towns.

For a moment, Xu Er was a little timid, the city was too big, Xu Er didn't know if he was suitable to live in this place.

Chen Zhibei held Xu You's hand. Xu You didn't feel it at first, but later Xu You found that his hand felt a little warm.Xu You raised her head, looked at Chen Zhibei who was expressionless, and suddenly felt less afraid.

Alley, which means alley or alley, is a unique residential form in Shanghai. It is composed of rows of Shikumen buildings and has a close relationship with Shikumen buildings.It is the characteristic that best represents the urban culture of modern Shanghai, and it is also the most direct product of the history of modern Shanghai.

Of course, Xu Wei didn't know how historic and regional the place he wanted to live was.He just knew that he was going to live in a small mansion in the future.

Although this 'small mansion' has been around for a long time, Xu Er likes such things.

"Quickly, come in and take a look." Xu Yanzhen took out a bunch of keys, opened the door, and beckoned the two to enter.

Opening the sliding door inside, a mildewy pungent smell hits the face. "Ahem." Xu Yanzhen waved his hand, as if to drive away the smell, "This house has been unoccupied for half a year, although there is nothing in it, just some old furniture, but it's no problem to clean it and live in it.

The two of you take a look, if there is anything you need to add, things for cooking guys, things you usually need, if you need anything, go to your uncle and my small store in a while, and get what you need. "

Xu Wei walked into the house in Qili Lane with a salute, a place where he would live in the future.

The house has two upper and lower floors, and there is a false third floor on the top, which can be used as a place to cool off or put things.

Two rooms and one wing, a kitchen, and a bathroom.The bathroom should have been remodeled later, and there are shower facilities in it.But Xu Er, who was a bumpkin in the city, couldn't notice these things.

Both rooms have a wooden bed, and the upstairs room has a large bookshelf.Xu Er liked that bookshelf very much, so Chen Zhibei gave up the room on the second floor to Xu Er, and lived on the first floor himself.

"By the way, let me tell you something. In this city, everything costs money, such as water and electricity. You should save it when you usually use it, but as long as the non-performing fee is paid, I can’t spend a lot of money in a month. I made an agreement with that buddy, you live in the house, and give him 20 yuan a month in his passbook, not including utility bills.” After that, I took the two of them to buy toilets Supplies, added a gas hood, a tank of gas, a pot, a large spoon, some stainless steel lunch boxes and chopsticks.

In the evening, Xu You finally met Xu Liao and Xu Yuan, whom he only met once or twice a year and had a very good relationship with him.

When the two little guys saw the big brother, they jumped up and down happily, causing the neighbor downstairs to knock on the door after nine o'clock in the evening.Guo Meili was so embarrassed that she sent the neighbors away and gave the twins a good reprimand.

But the twins have always been fearless, stuck out their tongues, clapped their hands and went to sleep.

The next day, Xu You and Chen Zhibei did a big cleaning of the whole house, and carefully put some things that the two of them would not use, and the house originally had, into the small wing room on the first floor. inside.

Xu Yanzhen's friend who drove the main car was a white, fat, middle-aged man who looked like a steamed bun from a distance.Xu Yanzhen introduced that his name was Sun Daya, and his nickname was Daya.

Sun Daya was not angry when Xu Yanzhen called him by his nickname. He smiled and nodded, and said that most people are not allowed to call him this nickname, only his own people can call it.

Sun Daya started to take Chen Zhibei's sports car that day, and he left for a whole day, and didn't come back until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

When he came back, Xu Er had already made noodles and mixed vegetables, and was sitting at the door with a notebook and a small mat, reading a book by the street lamp.

Standing at the intersection, Chen Zhibei looked at Xu You who was reading a book, the lines on his face gradually softened.

At seven o'clock in the morning during the day, I showed up at Xu Yanzhen's Xuzi Small Commodity Grocery Supermarket on time, checked the goods, filled up the missing goods on the shelves, marked the goods that were about to be out of stock, and waited for Xu Yanzhen to come and tell him.Usually order once every hour.

As long as you are not careless and know how to read, you can do this job well.

In the evening, Xu Wei would go to a large classroom in the courtyard of the third aunt's school, and attend classes with a group of classmates who were a little too old for him.

In the 90s, knowledge was still very valuable. Those who came to school came to study hard, want a real diploma, or to enrich themselves.

Xu Er didn't know what's the use of learning a foreign language. Anyway, the third uncle reported it to him, so he couldn't let the third uncle's money go to waste, so Xu Er studied it very seriously.

After waiting for the autumn, Xu You can already have some difficult conversations with the teacher in English with a little accent. The short English essays he wrote are also because of his good use of grammar. praise.

All these made Xu Yanzhen feel happy, thinking that his own children are good, and make him look good.When I was happy, it was time to buy Xu You a repeater that could listen to English tapes. Backgammon, a well-known brand among domestic products, cost [-] yuan in bills, which made Xu You feel distressed for a long time.

So far, I have been studying English more seriously, in order not to disappoint my third uncle, and to make the [-] yuan repeater worthwhile.

Chen Zhibei's brother's journey ended in a short time due to an accident in the family that was originally agreed.Later, Xu Yanzhen wanted to introduce him to another job, but Chen Zhibei refused.He got in touch with an old comrade-in-arms who now opened a car repair shop, and Chen Zhibei planned to go there to help.

In October, Chen Zhibei took Xu Er to the stock exchange once, and asked Xu Er to buy a few stocks with him.

Xu Er didn't quite understand what a stock was, but he believed in Chen Zhibei. Besides, for Xu Er, the 3000 yuan from the division of the family in his hand should be kept, and it would not be a pity to lose it.

In winter, when Chinese New Year is approaching, Xu Wei's place of work has changed from a place more than half an hour away from home to Dongtai Road Antique Street, which is three streets away.

When winter was approaching, Xu Yanzhen spent the past few years earning money, bought a shop next to Dongtai Road, and opened a branch, which mainly deals in small ornaments and food.

And Xu You, from here, found a way to officially enter the world of antiques, and his future destiny officially began from here.

Antique Street, Antique Circle, Antique World
