Chapter 226 Help Me Tell My Brother, I'm No. 1 in All Grades This Time (1/5)
Xu Tonglin replied with a shy smile: "Auntie, Xiaodao, he is very busy these days. He also wants to come back, but he really can't spare the time, really! He has to go to work in the city during the day, and when he comes back in the afternoon, he will be there until evening.
I feel tired for him because he has to be busy in our own store, really!"
While talking, Xu Tonglin walked quickly to Ge Xiaozhu, took out an unsealed envelope from his arms, and handed it to Ge Xiaozhu with a smile.
"Aunt, this is the New Year's money that Xiaodao asked me to bring you, one thousand yuan. He asked me to tell you that for the Chinese New Year, you and Yuzhu will buy one or two new clothes, shoes, etc., if you want to eat them.
Just buy a little of everything, no need to save! Hey, take it!"
Ge Xiaozhu was in a low mood. She looked at the envelope that Xu Tonglin handed her in front of her, reached out to take it, and sighed softly, "Oh! He won't come back for the New Year? He has been busy for half a year, and he can't go home for a reunion dinner during the New Year.
?"
Xu Tonglin's mood was affected by her, and the smile on his face became much less. He nodded and sighed: "Yes! Xiaodao said that business should be easier to do during the Chinese New Year and I can make more money, so he gave me half a day off.
I have breakfast and dinner in the afternoon and I have to go back! I can’t spend this New Year at home either.”
Ge Xiaozhu was a little surprised and looked up at Xu Tonglin, "You can't celebrate the New Year at home either?"

Xu Tonglin smiled and nodded, "Yes! So, don't worry, aunt! I will be with Xiaodao this New Year! He won't be alone, don't worry about that! Oh, by the way, his cousin Rooster is also here,
The three of us together will probably be more lively than you at home! After the busy New Year business days are over, we can take the time to go home and have a rest, really!"
Ge Xiaozhu forced a smile and nodded, "Okay, I understand, and I don't blame you. It's just, alas! I've suffered a lot for you."
Xu Tonglin smiled and shook his head, then changed the topic, looked at the door behind Ge Xiaozhu, and asked: "Oh, by the way, where is Tonglu? Is he at home? Xiaodao asked me to tell him something."
"Oh, that's it!"
Ge Xiaozhu turned around and shouted into the house, "Xiaolu! Xiaolu! Come out quickly! Your brother asked Lin Zi to bring you a message! Come out quickly!"
"Oh, got it!"
Xu Tonglu's voice came from inside the room.
Not long after, Xu Tonglu strode out of the house.
In the past six months, Xu Tonglu has changed a lot. He feels as if he has grown up by three or four years in half a year. The original hair of 37 cents has been shaved into a few millimeters long round inches.
A black round-neck cotton jacket and a pair of black trousers.
His two sharp eyebrows and cold eyes gave him a somewhat unruly temperament.
But his expression was very calm, so calm that he was a bit indifferent.
He seems to be a few taller than before.
He should be taller than Comrade Xu.
"What's the matter? My brother has something to bring to me? He didn't come back?"
When he came to his mother's side, Xu Tonglu frowned and asked Xu Tonglin.
Xu Tonglin looked at him, then at Ge Xiaozhu, and said hesitantly: "Xiaolu, your brother asked me to tell you that he won't have time to come back for the New Year this year. On New Year's Eve, you will be the only man in the family, so
, you have to learn to do ancestor worship! Well, what your brother asked me to bring you is this sentence."
As soon as he said this, Xu Tonglu and Ge Xiaozhu fell silent.
But Xu Tonglu was silent for a short time. He raised his chin slightly and said to Xu Tonglin with a cold face: "Okay! I understand, please reassure him! I know what to do!"
Ge Xiaozhu looked back at Xu Tonglu, her expression was a little sad, but also a little relieved.
This family... already needs two sons to support it.
Even the matter of ancestor worship falls on the youngest son, who is only 16 years old.
The customs here have been like this since ancient times. Unless there is no man in the family, women must avoid ancestor worship, and women cannot do it themselves.
Xu Tonglin nodded to Xu Tonglu and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go home if it's okay!"
After saying that, he said goodbye to Ge Xiaozhu and turned around to go home.
Xu Tonglu's voice suddenly came from behind, "Brother Lin Zi!"
"What? Is there anything else?"
Xu Tonglin stopped and looked back, a little confused.
Xu Tonglu was silent for two seconds, and then suddenly said: "When you go back to see my brother, help me tell him that I, I ranked first in my grade in the final exam this time."
Xu Tonglin was a little stunned, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Tonglu was a little different.
First in grade...
He knew that the grade Xu Tonglu was in had the same four classes as theirs.
What does it mean to be first in grade?
Xu Tonglin knew very well, that not only meant that Xu Tonglu was unmatched by anyone in his class, but it also compared with the top students with the best grades in the other three classes.
In his impression, he who was number one in the grade was like the biological son of the teacher and principal, the kind that even the wildest students in the school would not dare to bully.
Because whoever dares to bully the top student who ranks first in grade will, if nothing else, be rude to you by the teacher and principal.
And... the top student who is number one in the grade must be the object of admiration of many beautiful girls.
At this moment, Xu Tonglin was filled with envy.
He could almost imagine that if Xu Tonglu said something to a girl in the same grade, the girl would probably blush because of her wild imagination.
…
Because of this incident, Xu Tonglin was still a little distracted when he returned to his home.
That evening, he returned to the county seat and the store. When he saw Comrade Xu, his expression was still very complicated.
The complicated eyes he looked at Comrade Xu from time to time, and the way he hesitated to speak, made Comrade Xu confused and puzzled. He couldn't help but ask: "Lin Zi, what's wrong with you? Why did you go home today?"
Is it like this? Did something happen to our family?"
These words attracted the attention of Ge Lianghua, Xi Dongyang, Cao Min, and Fang Fang.
It's really Xu Tonglin's expression when he came back today that was so strange.
No one has seen his expression like this before.
Being watched by everyone intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Tonglin showed a complicated smile, "Xiaodao, your brother Xiaolu is really awesome!"
Tongdao Xu frowned, "What happened to him? Did he scold you? Or what happened to you?"
Xu Tonglin shook his head and sighed: "No! He asked me to tell you that he passed the final exam this time... and ranked first in the whole grade."
Comrade Xu was stunned, and then smiled slightly, with relief in his smile.
He knew that his younger brother was a good material for studying, and this boy did not disappoint him.
Compared to his reaction, the others' reactions were much more consistent, and they were all surprised.
Ge Lianghua: "Fuck! Did Xiaolu do so well in the exam this time?"
Cao Min: "First in the grade? Was it the boss's brother who took the exam?"
Fang Fang: "Boss...your brother is so good at school, why didn't you get into high school before?"
Although Xi Dongyang said nothing, he looked at Xu Tongdao in surprise.
