The rain took away all the stuffy heat in the air, and the continuous sound of rain seemed to have the effect of a lullaby. Anyway, Xu Tongdao noticed that Xu Tonglin was still sleeping soundly.
Thinking that he might not need to buy ingredients today, Xu Tongdao thought about letting Xu Tonglin sleep a little longer. After all, Xu Tonglin is a real 17-year-old boy. This is different from Xu Tongdao. A 17-year-old boy came to this county with him to make a living.
, I have indeed suffered a lot these days.
Comrade Xu saw all this and remembered it in his heart.
Therefore, Xu Tongdao looked at Xu Tonglin's sleeping face and did not wake him up. He quietly got up alone and went to prepare breakfast.
During the past few days in the county town, Xu Tonglin has done all the cooking work. Since he hasn't decided whether to buy ingredients today, he will cook breakfast today to let Xu Tonglin relax!
He is sincere about being a brother to Xu Tonglin.
When people live in this world, in addition to parents and relatives, they always need a few pure friends.
His cooking skills are naturally far superior to Xu Tonglin's, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Due to the current conditions, even if he makes breakfast, it is still just cooking noodles.
Use tongs to pry open the lid of the coal stove, take off the aluminum kettle that had been on the stove for half the night, put it on the ground, use the tongs to replace the stove with a honeycomb briquette, take the iron pot in the corner, put it on the stove, and pour it in
Some hot water in an aluminum kettle, with the lid on...
Comrade Xu is very skilled at doing these things. In the original time and space, during the years when he was working outside, he lived such a life for a long time.
Before the hot water in the pot boiled, he squeezed out toothpaste, took a cup, went to the corridor outside the door, and started brushing his teeth.
What a coincidence... Wei Chunlan, the person next door, was also squatting under the corridor at this time, brushing her teeth.
When he saw her, Tongdao Xu felt something strange in his heart.
Because Wei Chunlan's appearance just fits his aesthetics of women, with a long oval face, flawless whiteness, a shawl of long hair, black and shiny, and a very attractive figure, especially the dents when she squats and brushes her teeth.
That kind of curvaceous figure... reminded him of a popular saying: good fertility...
Moreover, she happened to be wearing a light blue T-shirt today, which looked very feminine at first glance.
Why do you say she "happened" to be wearing a light blue T-shirt?
Because Xu Tongdao liked women to wear clothes of two colors the most.
One is pink and the other is light blue.
Of course, as a man with a mental age of nearly forty years old, even though Wei Chunlan's appearance happened to match his aesthetics, and the color of the T-shirt she wore today happened to be one of his two favorite colors, on the surface he still
Didn't show anything unusual.
He just smiled in an ordinary way, nodded to her who turned around, and said a polite greeting: "Good morning!"
Wei Chunlan's cheeks were slightly red, she hesitated for a moment, then blushed and whispered back: "Good morning!"
Her face was still red, but Comrade Xu was squatting under the corridor as if nothing had happened, washing...
He has long passed the age when he sees a girl he likes and wants to pursue her. Not to mention the current situation of his family, he is not allowed to fall in love. He only talks about finding a partner... He has long been cautious.
no.
In addition to the other person's appearance and figure, he will consider the other person's personality and whether he can get along with him. In addition, he will also consider whether the objective conditions allow them to be together for a long time if they are together.
If it doesn't last long, he won't consider it.
In addition, he will also observe whether the other person is diligent, whether he can do laundry and cooking, whether the family burden is heavy? and other questions.
In the past, when he was looking for a partner, he would not consider so many issues.
At that time, he would only think about whether the other party could like him? If he could like him, would the other party want a house when they get married? Do they want a car? The amount of the bride price... could he afford it...
Because in the original time and space, he didn't have much choice when choosing a spouse. Before getting married, he didn't understand how much impact those seemingly insignificant issues would have on his life after marriage.
It wasn't until after he got married that real problems emerged one after another, causing them to quarrel again and again and feel exhausted. Only then did he realize that he had thought too little before getting married.
However, by then it was too late.
Thinking of those past events in his mind, Tongdao Xu unconsciously showed a wry smile even when he was brushing his teeth.
Because at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had so many demands for love and marriage. I was afraid that even if he could earn a lot of money in this life, his relationship...especially his marriage, might not be smooth.
Even he himself felt that with the conditions he had just thought of, there might not be many girls or women who could meet them all in the future.
Is this a moral decline? Or is it a social tragedy?
He laughed dumbly.
…
Xu Tongdao cooked the noodles and was about to wake Xu Tonglin up. As soon as he woke up, he sniffed his nose, followed the source of the smell, got up and looked around, and saw the iron pot on the stove.
, he was a little surprised, "Xiaodao, have you cooked the noodles?"
Comrade Xu stopped walking and nodded with a smile, "Well, I've just cooked them. I've nested three eggs. Since you're awake, get up quickly, wash them, and eat them!"
"Oh, oh! Good!"
Xu Tonglin nodded and quickly got up and dressed.
…
When the two of them were sitting on the edge of the bed eating noodles together, Xu Tonglin looked up at the heavy rain outside the window, frowned and asked: "Xiaodao, it's raining so hard today, can we still do business today?"
Without raising his head, Xu Tongdao stuffed two chopsticks of noodles into his mouth and said lightly while chewing: "It's hard to say, but as the saying goes: the wind will never end, and the shower will never last. It stands to reason that such a heavy rain will not last forever."
, it should stop soon, so let’s wait and see! See if it can stop in the morning.”
"oh……"
Xu Tonglin may not have understood what he said, so his expression was a little confused.
Tongdao Xu looked at him, smiled, and did not explain further.
After a while, Xu Tonglin asked again: "By the way, what are we doing this morning? Just sit in the room?"
"What else? Do you want to get your butt wet before sitting down?"
Maybe he suddenly got free and had the leisure to talk nonsense. Anyway, Xu Tongdao suddenly made a slanderous comment, which made Xu Tonglin spit out a mouthful of noodles and sprayed them all over the floor. One of the noodles naughtyly came out of his nostril.
.
Comrade Xu glanced at him sideways and tried hard not to laugh, but his shoulders were shaking slightly from laughing.
It can be regarded as having fun in your spare time.
Xu Tonglin gave him a blank look and hurriedly dealt with the aftermath. He had just finished dealing with it, and Xu Tongdao sighed and suddenly said: "Since we have nothing to do, let's go out and look for a second-hand refrigerator or display cabinet in a while!
If we find it, we will buy one and bring it back. In that case, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, we won’t have to worry about the food being spoiled.”
