Return To 1998

In the same early morning, Tongdao Xu did not return to the place he rented.

He came outside Wu Yali's small building and knocked on her window again.

It had been a long time since he had knocked on her window, but tonight he did.

Who is it?

Wu Yali whispered inquiries from the room.

it's me!

Oh, wait a minute, I'll open the door for you...

After a while, Wu Yali really opened the door for him. Under the night, the faint moonlight outside the house shone on her face, and Tongdao Xu saw surprise on her face.

Although he hasn't come to her in the early morning for a long time, the tacit understanding between them is still there.

After entering the door, he closed the door for her, and she didn't say anything, and went straight to the second floor. Tongdao Xu didn't say anything, and followed her to the second floor.

For a long time, the two lay side by side on the bed on the second floor, both panting.

After panting for a while, her breathing was not so heavy, Wu Yali turned sideways, snuggled up next to Xu Tongdao, put one arm on Xu Tongdao's chest, and said softly, I thought you would never come to me again, Why are you here tonight?

Tongdao Xu closed his eyes and did not answer for a while.

Silently opened her eyes and looked at her face close at hand, her smooth oval face was still a little flushed at this time, maybe because he never answered, Wu Yali, who had also closed his eyes, also opened his eyes slightly, Seeing him looking at her, her eyes blinked, widened to their normal size, and looked at him silently.

Why are you looking at me like that?

she asked softly.

At this time, her eyes were shy and affectionate.

At least Tongdao Xu saw these two things in her eyes.

How are you recently?

he asked in a low voice.

Wu Yali smiled and said, It's okay! Just like that! What's wrong?

Tongdao Xu raised his hand and touched her face, but his voice was still low, Are there any difficulties in life?

Wu Yali shook her head, No, when we divorced, this house was given to me,

He also gave me some money, plus my previous savings, there will be no problems in my life for the time being, you don't have to worry about me.

Tongdao Xu was silent again.

In fact, he came to her tonight, not just to do that with her.

He wants to help her.

As the old saying goes: One day husband and wife a hundred days of grace.

Although he and her have never been married, he has also enjoyed the treatment of husband and wife with her. Although he has given up his long-lasting thoughts of being with her because of the previous incident, but...

There is still some emotion.

I recently opened an Internet cafe in the city. I told you last time, do you remember?

After a long silence, Tongdao Xu mentioned this matter softly.

Wu Yali smiled and nodded, Of course, I remember everything you said.

Hearing what she said, Tongdao Xu also smiled, This Internet cafe has been open for more than a week, and the business is okay. I've been trying to raise money for the past two days and plan to open another one.

A look of doubt appeared in Wu Yali's eyes, It's good, congratulations!

She didn't seem to understand what he meant.

Tongdao Xu looked at her, hesitated for a few seconds, and then simply said, Do you want to become a shareholder? You are now living alone with Ya Ya, and you don't have a job yourself. No matter how much money you have, you won't be able to eat for a lifetime. You can think about it. , whether or not to invest in shares, I am sure that you will not lose money.

Wu Yali frowned slightly and did not express her position for a while. Tongdao Xu could see that she was hesitant.

So he added two sentences, If you are afraid of losing money, there is another way, you lend me money, and I will pay you three cents of the interest. When do you want it, and when will I pay you back, what do you think?

He really wanted to help her.

Never thought of taking advantage of her in this regard.

Wu Yali was a little surprised, Three-point interest? Are you telling the truth?

Xu Tongdao nodded.

Wu Yali frowned again and thought for a while, then hesitantly asked, How much do you want to borrow?

have to! She didn't consider buying shares.

Tongdao Xu sighed inwardly, but also understood her. After all, women are inherently timid, and she is now living alone with her daughter, and she has no other source of livelihood for the time being, so it is completely understandable that she does not dare to take risks.

At present, two people have invested in shares, and with the funds in my own hands, there are probably more than 80,000, and there are still tens of thousands. How much can you lend me? .

This... I'll think about it, okay?

Wu Yali was still hesitating.

Tongdao Xu smiled and didn't urge her, Okay! Let me know when you think about it, don't worry.

You, you're not mad at me, are you?

She was suddenly worried about this, and asked in a low voice, looking carefully at Xu Tongdao's face.

Tongdao Xu shook his head, No! Even if you don't want to lend me, it's fine. I'm not that stingy.

Wu Yali bit her lip, and said hesitantly, Will, should I lend you ten thousand? Enough, enough?

Tongdao Xu could see that she was worried that the money she borrowed would be wasted, but he was afraid that he would be angry if he didn't borrow it.

He wanted to laugh a little.

Okay! Yes! Three points of interest will definitely not miss you.

...

From knocking on Wu Yali's door to leaving her, more than two hours passed.

Xu Tongdao went back to the rented place, washed and fell asleep.

He didn't plan to go to Bu Yinghui to raise money.

Because he knew for a long time that Bu Yinghui's salary was handed over to the family every month, and she had never saved any money on her own.

The next morning, when he woke up, Xu Tonglin and Ge Lianghua had already returned from grocery shopping.

After Xu Tongdao washed up, he went to the barbecue restaurant. Ge Lianghua had already cooked all the noodles he had eaten in the morning.

When the three were eating noodles together, Ge Lianghua told Xu Tongdao something.

Xiaodao, are you still going to the city today? Feng Qinghua also wants to visit your Internet cafe.

Before he finished speaking, Xu Tongdao had no time to reply, Xu Tonglin echoed: And me! And me! Hehe, I want to see it too.

Xu Tongdao frowned slightly.

He felt a little strange, because in his impression, Feng Qinghua was not so curious.

Cousin, sister-in-law, she also wants to visit my Internet cafe? Is it true?

Ge Lianghua smiled, Of course it's true, she told me personally, can it still be false?

Tongdao Xu smiled bitterly, But I still want to go to the big cousin and big cousin today to see if they have any money to invest in shares or lend to me!

Ah? Then you don't plan to go to the city today? Ge Lianghua was a little disappointed.

Xu Tonglin also pouted in disappointment, Alas! It seems that I won't be able to go today again.

Tongdao Xu laughed, Are you in such a hurry? Can't you do it in two days?

Xu Tonglin sighed, Yes, yes, but I really want to go today! You didn't take me with you when you went yesterday!

Ge Lianghua also sighed, Hey, when Feng Qinghua told me this morning that he wanted to visit your internet cafe, I even made a package with her and said yes, but now I don't know how to talk to her later. said.

Seeing that they were both so disappointed, Tongdao Xu was also a little helpless. After thinking about it, he said, That's it! You two hurry up in the morning to make the preparations in the store, and me! Cousin and eldest cousin, let's go to the city this afternoon, okay?
