The phone rings.

Xu Youguo answered the phone, and on the other end of the phone was his boss who worked in Province H.

"Happy New Year, boss. ”

"Hahahaha, Happy New Year of Youguo, when do you plan to come to H Province, it's about to start. ”

"Boss, I'm not going to H province anymore. My daughter is in junior high school and is going to study in the city, so I don't worry about going to province H. ”

"Yo, I remember you told me how old your daughter is, and that she's going to junior high school so soon, and if you think the salary is low, we can talk about it again. ”

"Boss, it's not a matter of salary, it's my daughter, she has skipped to the sixth grade, and she will go to junior high school in another semester, I really don't worry about her being alone in the city. ”

The other end of the phone was silent for a while before it rang again: "That's okay, there is a country, if you still want to come to work, call me." ”

"Thank you to the owner. Hey, I will. ”

"Well, then I'll hang up. ”

Hanging up the phone, Xu Youguo took a deep breath. Xiao Ruo will be in junior high school soon, and he will never worry that Xiao Ruo will study in the city alone. It's time to find a new job, and although most of the wages are not as much as he can earn from working in other places, he is now just looking for peace of mind.

After telling Xu Meiren about this, Xu Meiren was very happy, the family finally did not have to separate, and at the same time she was worried about Xu Youguo looking for a job.

"I'll take care of the job hunt myself, and you don't have to worry about it. Xu Youguo replied, and said: "Now that the New Year is over, the clothes must be cheaper, take Xiaoruo to the city to buy clothes one day, I see that she is wearing old clothes." ”

Xu Meiren naturally agreed.

On this day, the sun was shining, and Xu Meiren pulled Xu Ruo up from the bed: "Xiaoruo, get up quickly, we will go to the city today to buy you new clothes." ”

Xu Ruo cheered up, no one doesn't like new clothes, she yawned, rubbed her eyes, and got dressed in the bed.

They caught the shuttle bus from Qinghuan Village to the city at half past eight, and the family occupied two positions, and Xu Ruo sat on Xu Youguo's lap.

There were a lot of people in the car, but Xu Ruo couldn't stand the smell in the carriage, so he quietly opened a little crack in the window, trying to breathe the cold and clean air outside the window.

Along the way, the carriage was like a vegetable market, chatting one by one, and the car was also very bumpy, Xu Ruo was a little uncomfortable, she had a premonition that she was going to get motion sickness. She closed her eyes and tried to suppress the feeling of nausea, and if she wanted to vomit, she would wait until she got out of the car......

After half an hour of hard work, the car drove to the station, stopped with a "snort", and then the door opened automatically, and a car of people squeezed out of the car.

"Dad, I'm going to the toilet. Xu Ruo said with an ugly face: "I want to vomit." ”

"Wait, Xiaoruo. Xu Youguo held Xu Ruo in one hand, and pulled Xu Meiren in the other hand and went straight to the public toilet at the station.

After some tossing, Xu Ruo finally felt a little more comfortable, she took the mineral water that her father bought, took a sip, and recovered.

Xu Meiren asked with concern: "Xiaoruo, are you comfortable?"

Xu Ruo nodded: "Mom, I'm fine." ”

"If you take the car more, you won't throw up. Xu Youguo hugged Xu Ruo: "Let's go, now go to the commodity city to buy clothes." ”

The value of the clothes after the New Year will be depreciated, and despite this, it still costs hundreds to buy clothes, pants and shoes.

Xu Ruo also saw for the first time how strong his father's bargaining ability was, while his mother seemed a little bad at words.

In the end, not only did Xu Ruo buy two sets of clothes, but Xu Youguo also bought one for Xu Meiren, but he didn't buy anything.

Although Xu Meiren was reluctant to spend money, Xu Youguo wanted to buy her clothes, she was also happy in her heart, and her face also had a sweet smile, and her color was good, so Xu Youguo didn't blink her eyes when she saw this smile.

At noon, Xu Youguo found a noodle restaurant, dealt with lunch, and picked all the meat in the noodles to his wife and children. There is not much meat, but Xu Youguo's approach moved both the mother and daughter very much, and the family of three shared the meat equally.

After paying the bill and leaving the noodle shop, Xu Youguo planned to take his mother and daughter home.

Xu Ruo tugged at the corner of Xu Youguo's clothes: "Dad, I still want to go to Xinhua Bookstore." ”

"Good. Xu Youguo squatted down and pinched his daughter's face: "If Xiao Ruo says to go, he will go." ”

Xu Youguo still dotes on his daughter very much, as long as he can do it, he will respond to his request.

In Xu Ruo's view, Xinhua Bookstore has basically not changed, even after the urban reform becomes more prosperous in the future, Xinhua Bookstore is still the same, standing in the center of the city, not arrogant or impatient.

The bookstore was quiet, with only the sound of footsteps and flipping books, and the occasional whispered exchange.

Xu Youguo whispered something to Xu Meiren and left the bookstore.

Xu Ruo took Xu Meiren directly to the second floor, and the second floor had all the textbooks she wanted.

Xu Meiren didn't understand these either, when she was a child, there were many children in the family, she was in the middle, neither valued nor favored, and she didn't study until the second grade of primary school. So, she followed her daughter and watched her daughter look for books one by one.

In the bookstore with a strong smell of books, there is an inexplicable feeling, and the sound of flipping books is strangely good.

Xu Ruo's fingers paused in the "Analysis of the Question Types of the Three-Year High School Entrance Examination", a thick one, and it is also divided into two volumes, covering the English subject of language and mathematics. Xu Ruo took a look and found that although he couldn't forget it, he couldn't understand a lot of it. It seems that it is impossible to reach the sky in one step, after all, the knowledge of junior high school is not as simple as that of elementary school, and you can understand it on your own.

But Xu Ruo still decided to buy the two books back, and not being able to understand it now does not mean that he will not be able to understand it all the time.

Xu Youguo, on the other hand, stayed in the dance studio next to Xinhua Bookstore, looking at the slogan "Learn to dance, let your child stand out" posted on the wall. He pushed open the glass door and stepped inside.

After a while, Xu Youguo walked out with a frown, the price of learning dance was beyond his acceptable range, but he wanted to send his daughter to learn dance on a whim, but after looking at the little girls in dance clothes and dancing shoes in the dance studio, raising their heads, spinning and dancing gracefully, he seemed to see his daughter dancing in dance clothes and shoes, he firmly established his idea, his daughter must be excellent!

The decision to send his daughter to learn dance was pressed in Xu Youguo's heart, and everything was implemented until his daughter went to junior high school. Thinking of this, Xu Youguo paused his thoughts and turned around and walked to the bookstore.

Xu Meiren was paying, carrying a book, holding Xu Ruo, and when she saw Xu Youguo, she shouted: "There is a country." ”

Xu Youguo walked over and took the bag in Xu Meiren's hand: "Bought it?"

"Hmm. ”

"Alright, let's go home now. ”

Thinking of taking the car, Xu Ruo was a little resistant, but she also knew that this car had to be taken, so she sighed, was a little depressed, and was ready for motion sickness.
