Chapter 158 Changes in Xu Tonglu (200 Monthly Pass
Xu Tonglu followed Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin into the alley and walked towards the place where Xu Tongdao and the others rented.
Along the way, he was silent until he saw his eldest brother Xu Tonglu took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette. Xu Tonglu frowned and said, "You smoke? When did you learn to smoke?"
Xu Tongdao glanced at him lazily and smiled faintly. There was exhaustion in his smile. He had been busy all day today, especially at night. He was so busy that his clothes were soaked with sweat several times and he was already exhausted.
So his tone was also lazy at this time, "It's been a while, what's wrong?"
After he was reborn, he also wanted to quit smoking.
But setting up a stall every day and staying up late were too tiring, and many years before he was reborn, he had long been accustomed to smoking a cigarette when he was tired.
This kind of psychological dependence is really difficult to break.
Xu Tonglu also saw the fatigue on Xu Tongdao's face. He swallowed the words he spoke and exhaled. He forced a smile, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. You, please stop smoking."
Comrade Xu smiled and said yes.
Xu Tonglin stretched out his hand in front of Xu Tongdao and said with a smile: "Give me one too!"
Comrade Xu ignored him.
He knew that Xu Tonglin was not psychologically dependent on cigarettes and did not want to lead him astray.
"Xiaodao, give me one! You can't be so stingy, can you?"
Xu Tonglin's hand was still stretched out in front of Xu Tongdao. When Xu Tongdao refused to give it, he reached out to grab it, but Xu Tongdao casually slapped his hand away.
"Don't make trouble! You are not allowed to smoke!"
"Why? You smoke it yourself and you don't allow me to smoke it?" Xu Tonglin was a little aggrieved and a little angry.
"You're not allowed to smoke anyway!"
Comrade Xu did not reason with him.
"Stingy! Stingy!"
Xu and Lin Bai looked at him and murmured, expressing their opinions.
But Xu Tongdao remained unmoved.
Xu Tonglu followed them to the small courtyard where they rented, and first walked into the room where Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin lived. Before entering, Xu Tongdao pointed out the room next door to him, "This is Cousin Rooster's room, Xiaolu
, you can come and sleep here later!"
Xu Tonglu glanced at the door of that room and remained silent.
When he followed Tongdao Xu and his family into their room, and after the lights were turned on and he could see clearly what was going on in the room, he stopped in his tracks and stood at the door, looking carefully at every place in the room.
The old desk by the window, the only wooden bed, the coal stove, the small folding table, the dishes and chopsticks on the table, the pots and spatulas under the table, and a few pieces of clothes hanging on a packing rope hanging above the corner
, and a few pairs of shoes placed under the wall next to the door...etc.
In terms of space, this room is not small and quite spacious.
But judging from the furnishings inside the house, everything is very simple. Cooking, eating, sleeping, and even places to dry clothes and put shoes are all in this one room.
The house is better than their ancestral home in their hometown.
But Xu Tonglu could imagine how difficult it was at first for his brother and Xu Tonglin to live and eat in the same room.
Because when his brother and Xu Tonglin came to this county, he knew how much money they had with them.
However, at this moment, seeing everything in this room, he said nothing.
"If you want to drink water, pour it yourself! There should be cold water in the kettle."
Xu Tongdao didn't even look back. He held one hand against the wall, lowered his head, kicked off his shoes, put on plastic slippers, and casually said something to his brother Xu Tonglu.
Xu Tonglu hummed and finally walked inside.
Walking to the bed, he saw a pile of new books placed inside the bed.
He was stunned, then reached out and picked up the top book of the pile of new books - "Historical Records".
He could see that the book had been turned over, but after picking it up, his eyes fell on the title of another book below - "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
"You...you still read books?"
He turned around and asked Comrade Xu.
When Comrade Xu heard this, he turned around and saw the book in his hand. He smiled casually and said, "Just take a look!"
Xu Tonglu was silent.
Xu Tonglin betrayed Xu Tongdao, "Are you just looking at it casually? You have been watching it every night before going to bed lately!"
Tongdao Xu turned around to get a bath towel and soap, but his tone was still calm, "Isn't it recently renovated? I have some free time! I won't watch it tonight."
"That's because it's too late tonight!" Xu Tonglin continued to make trouble.
Tongdao Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him, threw the bath towel and soap into the washbasin, turned around and left the room with the washbasin, and went to take a shower.
Xu Tonglin also took a towel, put on his plastic slippers, and lazily followed behind. When he went out, he said to Xu Tonglin, "Lin Zi, we are going to take a shower. Do you want to come with us? If you want, come quickly!"
Xu Tonglu turned his eyes, put the "Historical Records" in his hand back to its original place, turned around and followed him out.
He wanted to take a bath, and was also curious about where they were going to take a bath this late at night.
result……
He saw them coming to the faucet next to a small house in the east of the yard and pouring water directly into the basin. He also saw Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin taking off their clothes until only a pair of underwear was left. Then they picked up the basin and poured the cold water into it.
Pour it all from your head.
His eldest brother Xu Tongdao washed his clothes in this way, and the fat man Xu Tonglin also washed his clothes in this way.
After Xu Tonglin poured a basin of water over his head, he turned around and saw that Xu Tonglu was still standing aside. He immediately urged in a low voice: "Xiaolu! Why are you standing there? Why don't you take off your clothes quickly? Wash it quickly! Hurry up! Just in case something happens later.
The black girl in that room came out and saw us taking a shower here, and the black girl would curse us!"
When talking about black girls, Xu Tonglin went to the room where sisters Wei Chunlan and Wei Qiuju lived and pursed his lips.
Xu Tonglu frowned and glanced over there, "Black girl? What black girl? Are you talking about a woman?"
His voice was not lowered.
Xu Tonglin was so frightened that he immediately put a finger to his mouth to signal him to be silent, "Shh! Keep your voice down! That black girl has a bad temper and is a sports practitioner. If she hears it, you may not be able to beat her."
She! Moreover, your hand was broken some time ago, so you are not completely ready yet, right? Then you are no match for her!"
Xu Tonglu sneered, "Look at how coward you are! A woman is afraid of being like this! What kind of black girl? Can it be darker than our jade beads? What's wrong with practicing sports? What's wrong with my broken hand? She's just a woman, and what's wrong with her?
Can you withstand my punch? Huh! I..."
His voice still didn't lower.
Xu Tonglin was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth, blocking his next words.
When he reluctantly opened Xu Tonglin's hand and wanted to say something, Xu Tongdao, who had already covered his body with soap, said, "Okay! If you want to take a shower, wash it quickly! You can stay here for one night.
Don't cause trouble for me! Hurry up!"
In the past, Xu Tonglu was dissatisfied with Xu Tongdao, at least he would not shut up just because Xu Tongdao said a word.
But at this time, he looked at his eldest brother Xu Tongdao and unexpectedly shut up. He remained silent for a few seconds and began to take off his clothes.
