Chapter 225 Xu Tonglin's Scenery Returns to the Village (5/5) 50,000
The afternoon of the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Xu Tonglin, who was given a half-day leave by Xu Tongdao, took the awning boat back to his hometown alone with his simple luggage, and returned to Xujiacun alone.
Although he was alone, he was in a good mood. When he was about to enter the village, his face was filled with the joy of returning home. In fact, when he was usually in the store, he was not well-dressed, and his clothes and shoes were often dirty.
, but when he went home today, he specially changed into a new set of clothes, shoes, and even socks for a pair of bright red ones.
Don't ask why it's red, it's just boring if you ask!
In fact, not only the socks, the down jacket he wore today is also bright red.
A bright red short down jacket, blue jeans, red socks, and black leather shoes, this outfit made him hold his head high as he walked home.
The smile on his face showed a bit of confidence.
And this kind of confidence was never seen on his face when he was studying in the past.
Who knows that when he was studying in the past, his grades were not very good, his appearance was not very good, and his family background was ordinary!
But now... Apparently, after he followed Tongdao Xu to the county town for half a year, his whole person exuded an aura called "confidence" from inside to outside.
Well, this kind of aura often appears in the nouveau riche.
Since entering the village, Xu Tonglin has been like a good young man who loves life. He greets every villager he meets, regardless of gender or age, with a smile on his face.
It seems that he is afraid that others will not know that he is back.
Coincidentally, Xu Changsheng was heading to the village carrying a bamboo basket, and it looked like he was going to the fields to get vegetables.
So, the two met unexpectedly by the river in the middle of the village.
Xu Tonglin raised his hand and said hello to Xu Changsheng, "Hey, Changsheng! Are you going to get food?"
Xu Changsheng is two or three years older than him.
But Xu Changsheng has not changed much between now and half a year ago.
I was wearing old clothes from last year, the year before before, or even longer ago, and the sneakers on my feet were washed white and fluffy.
Suddenly seeing Xu Tonglin back in new clothes and new shoes, Xu Changsheng was startled, and then his eyes became very complicated.
He forced out a smile and said hello stiffly, "Linzi is back for the New Year!"
He could not forget the time when Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin went to his home to find him and asked them if they would like to go to the county town with him.
As a result, he declined Tongdao Xu's invitation.
But Xu Tonglin agreed, and now, only half a year has passed. Xu Changsheng has not changed much, but Xu Tonglin seems to have been completely transformed.
Is this still the little fat guy from before who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun?
Xu Changsheng felt very complicated.
But Xu Tonglin didn't care at all and passed him by without stopping.
Xu Changsheng looked down at the vegetable basket in his hand, and couldn't help but look back at Xu Tonglin's back. The little fat man seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but his waist was so straight. You could see the pride of this little fat man from his back.
.
Xu Changsheng was silent.
…
Not long after, Xu Tonglin passed by the door of Ge Xiaotian's house.
Ge Xiaotian was basking in the sun at the door, and his little native dog, Huahua, was squatting at his feet.
Seeing him, Xu Tonglin also raised his hand and said hello, "Hey! Xiaotian! Where are you basking in the sun?"
Ge Xiaotian was already drowsy due to the sun. When he heard Xu Tonglin's voice, he opened his eyes and saw Xu Tonglin with a new look. Ge Xiaotian almost didn't recognize him for a moment. He blinked before realizing. He stood up subconsciously and looked Xu Tonglin up and down in surprise.
, couldn't help but ask: "Linzi? Are you back? You, your clothes are not cheap, are they?"
Xu Tonglin laughed and waved his hand modestly, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive! This down jacket only costs two hundred yuan! It's really not expensive! Haha!"
Ge Xiaotian opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing how to answer his words.
Just then, his sister Ge Xiaoyu came out of the house carrying a pot of muddy radishes, probably going to the river in front of her door to wash them.
So, she also saw Xu Tonglin in new clothes and new shoes, and... heard Xu Tonglin's "modest" bragging just now.
Her brows immediately furrowed.
She felt very disgusted.
But looking at Xu Tonglin, who was completely different from half a year ago, she was a little dazed. She had long heard that Xu Tonglin followed Xu Tongdao to the county town after graduating from junior high school.
I didn't expect that Xu Tonglin would change so much after half a year.
Seeing her, Xu Tonglin also raised his hand and said hello, "Hey, isn't this Xiaoyu! Happy New Year! Hehe."
Hearing him greeting her, Ge Xiaoyu endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "Where is Xiaodao? Why are you back alone? He didn't come back with you?"
Tongdao Xu always likes to be around her and likes her, and she knows it.
Regardless of whether she was also interested in Xu Tongdao, the fact was that Xu Tongdao left a shadow in her heart after all.
If Comrade Xu disappeared from the public after graduating from junior high school like in the original time and space, she, Ge Xiaoyu, might not think of him again in a few years.
But this life is different after all.
Every time she went home, she heard more or less people say that Tongdao Xu was doing well in the county and seemed to have made a lot of money, so she couldn't help but not care at all.
No, she just heard Xu Tonglin greeting her, but didn't see Xu Tongdao, so she couldn't help but ask.
Perhaps, the word "complicated" can best describe her current feelings for Xu Tongdao.
In the past, Comrade Xu always liked to find opportunities to get close to her. When he showed kindness to her, she was quite disgusted, just like she was disgusted with every man in the village who wanted to get close to her.
Later, when the results of the high school entrance examination came out and she learned that Comrade Xu had done better than her but chose not to go to high school, she was surprised, a little regretful, and a little disappointed.
At that time, she thought that the gap between Xu Tongdao and her would definitely become wider and wider in this life.
result……
In the past six months, Tongdao Xu has been acting out of common sense. Every time she goes home, she hears that he is doing well.
All kinds of emotions combined, maybe she doesn't even know how she feels about him now.
Xu Tonglin chuckled, "Xiaodao! He is busy and has no time to come back!"
After answering casually, Xu Tonglin kept walking.
…
Soon.
He did not go back to his own home first, but went straight to Xu Tongdao's home.
Xu Tongdao's mother, Ge Xiaozhu, was basking in the sun and sewing clothes in front of the door.
Xu Tonglin shouted from a distance with a smile on his face: "Aunt! Aunt!"
Ge Xiaozhu looked up blankly and saw him. A smile appeared on her face, but her eyes were looking behind Xu Tonglin. After a few glances, she didn't see her son Xu Tongdao. She couldn't help but frown, "Lin Zi, you are back, where is my trail?"
