Room 1002, Building 28, Kuixing City, Tianyun City.
In the newly renovated house, Comrade Xu was half lying on a deck chair on the balcony, flipping through an economic management book in his hand, with a chair beside him and a pot of tea on the chair.
He didn't go to Xia Yun's place to spend the night upstairs tonight.
He doesn't have the character of having fun every day and having fun with women. Besides, after all, Xia Yun is not the woman he keeps, so there is no reason to go to her place every night.
The most important thing is that there is no love between him and Xia Yun.
Since it's not love, he has no intention of spending time with her every day.
In contrast, he prefers to spend his time studying.
Although sometimes, he has no resistance to beauty.
But he still knows what is the future and what is fundamental.
If he does not continue to improve himself, his career will inevitably be like sailing against the current. If he does not advance, he will retreat.
As a reborn person, he is well aware of the changes in the country in the next twenty years.
By then, banknotes will depreciate significantly.
The tens of millions that seem to be a lot now will disappear in twenty years.
What will he be when he is not very rich? Will a beauty like Xia Yun still be with him then?
It is precisely because of this idea that he lives by himself most nights recently and does not go to Xia Yun's place upstairs.
Hanging around women all day is not only useless, but also has no future.
only……
The cell phone he placed next to the teapot suddenly rang, interrupting his reading state. Xu Tongdao glanced over and saw that the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
The phone was ringing so loudly that he couldn't continue reading. He frowned. He reached for the phone and answered the call.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"I, it's me! Comrade Xu, I'm Ge Xiaoyu, do you still remember me?"
Ge Xiaoyu's jerky voice came from the phone.
They grew up in Xujiacun.
The distance between the two families was not far away, and they were almost the same age. When he was a teenager, Tongdao Xu often flirted with her, and it could be said that they were very familiar with her.
But, that was all in my childhood after all.
In recent years, as Xu Tongdao stopped studying after middle school and instead entered the society and began to earn money to make a living, there was no connection between him and Ge Xiaoyu.
Every year during the holidays, we would only meet him once in a while at most. With Ge Xiaoyu's arrogance, he would not take the initiative to say hello to him.
And with Xu Tongdao's character after his rebirth, he would no longer rush to touch her cold ass with his hot face.
It can be said that in recent years, they have no contact or friendship.
Therefore, when she mustered up the courage to call Comrade Xu tonight, her tone was jerky, embarrassed, embarrassing, and a bit difficult to say.
Comrade Xu was also surprised when he suddenly heard Ge Xiaoyu's voice.
"Oh? Xiaoyu? It's you! It's so late, why did you remember to call me? By the way, where did you get my mobile phone number?"
Tongdao Xu sat up, put down the book in his hand, frowned and asked her.
He once admired Ai when he was young, and he had a crush on Ge Xiaoyu.
but……
That is all caused by the environment and vision. After all, when she was young, Ge Xiaoyu was the most beautiful girl in their village. Who has a crush who is not beautiful?
Most teenagers have a crush on the most beautiful woman they have ever seen.
If this woman is their same age, it's a normal crush.
If this most beautiful woman is several years older than them, it would be a slightly abnormal sibling relationship.
If this beautiful woman is from the mother's generation, it would be very sad, and it would be a deformed love.
He, Comrade Xu, should be said to be lucky. The most beautiful Ge Xiaoyu in his village back then was about the same age as him.
However, times have changed.
Time is the most ruthless eraser.
It can erase a lot of once-sincere emotions.
For Xu Tongdao, including the many years before his rebirth, almost twenty years have passed since his admiration for Ge Xiaoyu.
In the past twenty years, the admiration I once had for Ge Xiaoyu has long been beaten away by wind and rain.
And this was also the reason why he never thought of pursuing Ge Xiaoyu after his rebirth.
Just like a toy or a snack that I longed for when I was a child, if I could get it at that time, it would be great.
But twenty years later, if I give you that toy or snack you wanted so much at the beginning, will you still be excited? Will you still feel very happy?
"I, I asked someone for your sister Yuzhu's contact information, and then asked her for your mobile phone number."
On the other end of the phone, Ge Xiaoyu's tone was still jerky.
She probably still remembered that she had never given Comrade Xu a good look before.
Back then, she never looked down upon any man in the village who had an idea for her, regardless of age.
"Oh, what's the matter with you calling me so late?"
Comrade Xu asked, picking up the teapot at hand and taking a sip of tea.
At this time, he was really curious as to why Ge Xiaoyu suddenly contacted him.
This girl has an arrogant temper and has never looked down on him, and he knows this.
Ge Xiaoyu: "Xiaodao, I, I want to ask you to help me once. I, I really have no other way. After thinking about it, you are probably the only one who can help me now. You, you can help me.
?I beg you."
Comrade Xu smiled helplessly.
She said so much, but she still didn't say what she wanted him to do for her.
Taking another sip of tea, Xu Tong said: "Xiaoyu, you have to tell me first what you want me to help you with. If you don't say anything, how do I know if I can help you?"
Ge Xiaoyu: "I, my dad is sick, stomach, stomach cancer..."
Hearing this, Comrade Xu's calm expression changed slightly. He subconsciously sat upright, frowned, and looked quite suspicious.
After being silent for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Xiaoyu, are you telling the truth? You can't joke about this kind of thing. Otherwise, no matter what happens to you in the future, I won't be able to help you again."
!”
Comrade Xu said these words very seriously.
Because... in his memory before his rebirth, Ge Xiaoyu's father had always lived well. Before his rebirth, her father was still alive and in good health.
so……
When he heard Ge Xiaoyu say that her father had stomach cancer, his first reaction was doubt.
Suspected that she was cheating him out of his money.
Immediately, he thought of another possibility - the butterfly effect.
Maybe... the rebirth of his colleague Xu, somehow changed the fate of Ge Xiaoyu's father.
Although he still can't figure out how her father's fate was affected by his rebirth, but fate is a mysterious thing.
Mysterious.
Who can tell?
"Really! Of course it's true! Xiaodao, do you think I might make such a joke about my dad's body? I swear to you, if what I just said is false, then I will be hit by a car when I go out tomorrow
Death, if I say this, do you believe it?"
Xu Tongdao: "..."
Raising his hand and pressing his temples, Xu Tongdao's expression became solemn.
