Chapter 409: Coming Home
After dealing with the chores, everyone decided to take a holiday on the 28th of the lunar month, and this time even the Xihai Bar also followed, so that everyone could have a good New Year, on the 27th day of the lunar month, Xu Hui bought a bunch of New Year's goods, and Xue Yongjun came to pick it up, helped to take things home together, and returned to the cultural compound.
I haven't been back for several months, Xu Hui was startled as soon as he entered the gate, the whole compound was in chaos, several rows of bungalows in the front yard had been demolished, and the whole courtyard was full of bricks and tiles and construction tools.
But this chaotic scene did not drown out the festive atmosphere of the New Year, and every household was still as busy as in previous years, cleaning, removing the old and welcoming the new.
It's just that seeing such a battle during the New Year, it's really a little uncomfortable, and going home this time, Xu Hui is a little nervous, so he walked to the door silently, and he didn't even know when Lao Jiu left.
Xu Hui's days in the commercial alley, except for his younger brother who led his mother twice, he almost never had more contact with his family, he felt ashamed, and it was difficult to express, and he had been dragged into a heart disease.
made countless mental preparations, but to Xu Hui's surprise, it didn't come in handy, at noon, everyone in the family was there, the mother was surprised, the grandmother was happy, although the father had a calm face, but he didn't pay attention to him as coldly as last time, at least Xu Hui called his father, and his father obviously responded, and deliberately rushed this time, but also to talk at the dinner table.
After adding dishes and chopsticks, the family finally had a reunion dinner in advance, during which Xu Hui did not dare to take the initiative to speak, most of the topics were brought up by his younger brother and mother, Xu Hui answered honestly, his father rarely spoke, but he found that his father had actually been listening very seriously, which made Xu Hui's heart hanging as soon as he entered the door finally landed steadily.
"If you are not too busy in the future, you should come back to live. "My father put down the dishes and chopsticks and went to work, and the Cultural Affairs Bureau had to delay the holiday until the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but this sentence melted the ice in front of the father and son.
This should be a very pleasant and memorable New Year, Xu Hui decided to stay a few more days, and the opening of the store was postponed, find a time to discuss with Fu Jianping, and let the big guys rest for a few more days.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, many buddies didn't expect to follow Xu Hui to get light, only Xie San didn't do it, the door was opened on the first day of the new year, and the little children took the New Year's money, so they naturally came to the game hall properly, how could they let go of such a good opportunity, Fu Jianping also followed him, but the key sentence was mentioned, and Xie San was immediately half angry, and the fees of the two stores managed by Xu Hui after the year were to be doubled, and you Xie San couldn't help but express it.
After blackmailing Xie San, Fu Jianping was also in a good mood, and he went home to celebrate the New Year happily.
There are ten days of vacation, except for dealing with the invitations of classmates and brothers, Xu Hui has hardly left the door of the cultural compound, and the days spent with his family are precious, happy and down-to-earth.
There has also been a significant change in his father's attitude, although he still has an attitude of hating iron and steel, but occasionally when he chats, he will ask a few words about the situation in the store, whether he is busy, how much salary is paid, etc., he is also concerned, Xu Hui did not dare to brag that he is the boss, so he naturally talked about his usual busy work as an ordinary clerk.
"It's better to be busy, so that you don't have to be energetic and mess around. I didn't hear anything else, my father's heart was also steady, just work, and it was not inferior to him to support himself with his hands, but he still didn't forget to warn Xu Hui.
The annoying thing is that the younger brother is also in junior high school, and it is also Xu Hui's alma mater, Beiguan Street Middle School, the reputation of the children of the cultural compound in that school is not very good, and the group fights are common, and the little bastards often brag about the celebrities of the former cultural compound, Zhao Ge is actually on the list, and it seems to be very inherited, and now these little guys are also suppressing the children of several family courtyards around, and they are very arrogant.
The younger brother didn't study for a lot of time, and he bragged all day long about these bad things, and wanted to ask more about Zhao Ge's old news when he was in Beiguan Street Middle School, Xu Hui was immediately angry, if it weren't for his mother and grandmother in the house, he would have to beat this kid.
Although he endured it in the end, the brothers broke up unhappily, but Xu Hui was really a little afraid, the little guy of this age is the most unknowing, if he doesn't knock on the dots from time to time, it will really cause a big trouble.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Hui got together with his old classmates in junior high school, still Guo Xu, Tang Lin and Quan Zhixing's elder brother, to be honest, everyone has similar interests, and they have never broken contact, it is not easy for junior high school classmates to maintain such friendship, but few high school classmates can be contacted, and some are sad when they think about it.
Several people were very surprised by Xu Hui's changes, especially no longer taking the college entrance examination, and actually started a small business, none of the three guys could figure it out, and after some persuasion, he saw that his face was not good, so he stopped being verbose, and then accused Xu Hui of being disrespectful for not replying to the letter, this time Xu Hui naturally couldn't escape, so he asked everyone to eat and drink.
Unforgettable times are always very short, I stayed with Guo Xu for half a night, chatting about the interesting things in the past, whether it is a literary club, pop songs, football, that tender green years that can pinch out the water are really unforgettable.
At the beginning of taking care of Xu Hui's emotions, a few people rarely talked about life in college, but Xu Hui was not so careful, you don't talk about it, he also wanted to ask, so the brothers let go, Xu Hui listened very yearningly, but knew that it would be difficult to experience the life of the ivory tower in this life.
"I heard Shao Xiaolan say that Zhang Yi is back. On the way back to send everyone back, Quan Zhixing deliberately fell behind and whispered to Xu Hui.
"Will it be Beijing?" Xu Hui was shocked.
"Yes, Shao Xiaolan saw her before the holiday, and she also inquired about you. ”
The biting cold wind blew, Xu Hui's excited mood suddenly fell silent, and he didn't ask any more questions, I don't know if it was blown away by this sudden cold wind, or if this hope itself has no possibility of being rekindled, he never mentioned this matter again, although Quan Zhixing looked at him strangely, he also avoided talking about it.
"Go and see your little shop before going back to school?" Guo Xu quipped when they parted.
"Welcome, open the day after tomorrow. ”
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the last day of the holiday, Da Jun and Brother had a few parties, this kid and Quan Zhixing are also sophomores, compared with half a year ago, this guy's temperament is obviously different, his head jumped up sharply, wearing a navy blue tweed coat, very stylish, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed eyes, and speaking slowly, at a glance, he looks like a future cadre.
Although the relationship between everyone and Daqiang has always been very poor, and they once became enemies, but this does not hinder the feelings of the brothers, all the brothers who can be called in the yard participated, and even the black bull was pulled out of the house by the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the group.
The brothers sat in a circle, the excitement and atmosphere were a little lighter than before, without Zhao Ge and Xie Hailin, the mood of the big guy was still a little depressed, at this time it reflected the value of the temporary boss of the black bull, and the atmosphere was finally lively.
The black bull is really suffocated during this time, in fact, it is no different from squatting in prison, there are no special circumstances, he can't get out of the house at all, he is really anxious, his father will lock him with a dog chain, which reminds Xu Hui of the appearance of Zhao Ge being tied with iron chains under the big apricot tree across the wall, and the pictures of the past flashed in his mind and made him embarrassed.
So everyone was also tossed by the black bull, and after eating and drinking, they went to sing karaoke, but for Daqiang's field, everyone resolutely avoided it, Dajun also knew it, and he was not reluctant, and in the end, the brothers chose Liang Bin's old field, the note of the times.
After the redecoration of the times, the notes of the times are still the most lively night scene in the city center, everyone has been stumbling with Liang Bin, and has also cooperated, ups and downs, twists and turns, confused, the brothers in the cultural compound have never really been afraid of him, come here to consume, is to give you Boss Liang face.
didn't run into Liang Bin, nor did he meet any of the bigwigs around him, what Ermao, Liu Xuebin, Ge Wenhu and the like were not there, but the younger brother and the lobby who were in charge of receiving them still recognized the guys in the cultural compound, and they were still a little nervous, but Xu Hui and they were too lazy to explain and pay attention to it, they had a lot of fun, and sang until two o'clock at night before going home.
