After Zhu Yu was deeply moved by such thoughts, he immediately thought of the house in his town. A few years ago, the school paid each teacher the previous month's salary in advance. Zhu Yushen took a look and saw that he also had some money in his account. Nowadays, the price of everything and the wages of labor are skyrocketing, so it is necessary to renovate the house as soon as possible.

After being introduced, Zhu Yushen has contacted a master who is engaged in decoration and is ready to do a good job on the first floor. Seeing that there were still a few days left for school, he suddenly had a whim and felt that he should do it first. He immediately stepped out of the car and prepared to go to the town's decoration material store to look at the materials. Then calculate the price and see how much you can do with your current money.

As he rode past the new street between the school and the town, Zhu Yushen saw that many of the houses that had been closed for a long time had already started. But there are still some shops on the street that have not yet opened, and the same is true on the old streets. When Zhu Yushen was riding forward, someone on the right shouted at him, and when he stopped to look, it turned out to be Xia Youli, a political teacher. Mr. Xia was smoking a cigarette in front of his wife's sewing shop. Xia Heidan and Zhu Yushen have a good relationship, and he also has a warm love for literature and history. Zhu Yushen locked his bicycle on the side of the street and came to the door of the sewing shop, where the black egg let him in.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Yushen saw Xia Youli's beautiful wife Hu Yuqin cleaning up the house with a strange girl. Zhu Yushen stepped forward and said hello. Hu Yuqin stopped what she was doing, put on a smiling face and said, "Teacher Zhu is just on the street!" We only came back from our hometown today. When I left the store a few years ago, I didn't clean up much, you see, it was quite messy. ”

Zhu Yushen responded, but his eyes looked at the strange girl who was packing up her clothes. He remembered that he used to be an ugly woman here, why is it replaced now?

Hu Yuqin saw Zhu Yushen's eyes, and said a little unhappily: "Don't you know her?" The second half of last year came well, and I have been working for several months. ”

Zhu Yushen said: "I remember that it didn't seem to be her who worked in your store before." It's been a long time since I've been to your shop. ”

At this time, Xia Youli took out two bottles of liquor from his bag and played with it and said, "Brother Zhu will go to my house for dinner tonight, and we will rest as soon as we get drunk." ”

Hu Yuqin also smiled and said, "Yushen, you can go to our house for dinner tonight, we brought some dishes from our hometown." You wait a minute, go early. Then she turned to the girl and said, "Aiyu, you can also go over to dinner tonight." ”

The girl said "um". Then, she turned her body around, and her eyes shot straight towards Zhu Yushen.

Zhu Yushen saw that she had applied a lot of powder to her face, and her long eyelashes were fake. Her strips are better, and she belongs to the devil's body and the like. Zhu Yushen thought secretly: If this Aiyu is unloaded, it should be just an average-looking person. Her appearance is not as good as her boss lady.

Zhu Yushen was very happy to see that Aiyu would also go to Xia Youli's house for a banquet in the evening. He couldn't help but say things like compliments and thanking the owner. Then, he rode to the decoration and building materials store.

After going in and looking at it for a long time, Zhu Yushen was satisfied with the price of those materials. I'm going to ask the decorating master how much I have to buy first. The master told him on the phone to transport the tiles and white cement home first. But the decoration will have to wait for a while because it overlaps with his current construction schedule. Zhu Yushen thought to himself, then he would use his bicycle to transport some materials back every day.

In the evening, Zhu Yu freshened up and came to Xia Youli's house with some gifts and pastries for children. After entering the door, he found Hu Yuqin stir-frying in the kitchen. After sitting down on the sofa in the living room with Xia Youli, Zhu Yushen found that the coffee table was full of essays and literary magazines, which was also Xia Youli's spiritual food. In the opposite room, there seemed to be an old woman playing with his seven or eight-year-old son.

Xia Heidan gave Zhu Yushen a cup of tea and said: "Brother Zhu can be said to be full of economy, and he has been working hard, dare to ask if there is a masterpiece coming out recently?" Would it be nice to give it a look? ”

Zhu Yushen wanted to laugh a little. I haven't seen him for many days, and I still feel a little uncomfortable listening to him talk like this at Xia Youli's house. I don't know how to answer for a while.

Hearing the voice, the old lady and the child came out of the room. Xia Youli puts the child in kindergarten with his mother in the countryside on weekdays, so it is rare for Zhu Yushen to see his mother. As soon as Xia's mother left the room, Zhu Yushen stood up and said hello to Auntie.

Mother Xia narrowed her eyes with satisfaction and asked her son, "This is the Xiao Zhu you often mention to me, right?" Xia Youli said, exactly. The old lady looked at Zhu Yushen and said, "Yes, a talent, with a good temperament." ”

After a few people sat down, Hu Yuqin brought the dishes one after another. Until this time, the girl named Aiyu that Zhu Yushen saw in the afternoon did not come. Zhu Yushen was a little disappointed, but he was embarrassed to mention this to them. Xia Youli opened and poured wine. At this time, the children clamored for firecrackers to be set off first, so they went out and blew them up. This kind of lively scene made Zhu Yushen, who was used to being cold, feel hot on his face. After returning from the firecrackers, Xia Heidan began to toast Zhu Yushen.

Xia Mu looked at Zhu Yushen while eating, thinking thoughtfully. Suddenly, she asked, "Xiao Zhu, have you talked to someone?" ”

Zhu Yushen was caught off guard, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he shook his head.

Xia Mu then asked: "Then how did you spend your year, it won't be spent alone in school, right?" ”

Zhu Yushen told the truth: "The meal I ate at my aunt's house in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve went back to school in the second year of junior high school. ”

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and sighed: "Poor child! A person with an ice pot and a cold stove is like the New Year. She turned to Xia Youli and his wife and said, "You are colleagues, the relationship is not bad, and you don't care about Xiaozhu." Yuqin, aren't you familiar with a lot of girls? Why don't you introduce one to Xiao Zhu. If you have a partner, get married early, and live like a normal person. ”

Hu Yuqin glanced at Zhu Yushen and said with a wicked smile: "Teacher Zhu is handsome and talented. Where can he look at the tailor girls I am familiar with? ”

Zhu Yu wanted to say something, but Xia Mu immediately refuted Hu Yuqin and said, "Don't talk nonsense! What is there to see and not to see! I think Xiao Zhu is very responsible, not like the kind of person who picks and chooses. It's because you people don't care about him that he hasn't married until now, and he is alone for the New Year. ”

Xia Youli played the round and said, "Don't worry, Brother Zhu is on Yuqin." I believe that in the near future, he will be able to return with a beauty. ”

Zhu Yushen didn't squeak from beginning to end, and he listened carefully to their discussion. Xia Mu's words filled his heart with a long-lost warmth, and he was very grateful. After hearing Xia Youli say this, Zhu Yushen hurriedly thanked him and toasted him. After Xia's mother ate, she sat on the sofa and brushed her teeth. She suddenly remembered something and asked Hu Yuqin, "Yuqin, the girl in your shop who came to your apprentice in the second half of last year is not married yet, right?" I think it's good to introduce to Xiao Zhu, the two of them are quite a good match. ”

Hu Yuqin said loudly word by word: "People are already famous." You see, she didn't come to dinner tonight, and she was picked up by her boyfriend in the afternoon. After hearing this, Xia Mu didn't say anything anymore and watched TV by herself.

Zhu Yushen now understood why that Aiyu didn't come to dinner. He was a little unhappy in his heart, and he could barely sit still.

Xia Youli remembered something at this time, and he said, "Wife, aren't there two girls in the shop opposite you?" You can ask them to stand up for Brother Zhu to choose. Zhu Yushen and Hu Yuqin laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Hu Yuqin had long noticed Zhu Yushen's previous look of disappointment and embarrassment. This time he admitted: "The two girls in the store opposite Dahua are not married. But that little Xu seems to be quite messy; The fifth sister is more pure. In this way, Yushen, you have time to sit in my store and see what they look like first. If you like any of them, I'll help you mention them again. ”
