Dong Wenli studied at a normal school in a neighboring city, and she planned to stay here as a teacher after graduation. Since she was still looking for a job and did not have much money, Dong Wenli found a house in the old city and rented it.It was already evening when Dong Yu and Bai Ruiyang arrived, and they called Dong Wenli after they explored the old city.

"Brother, why did you remember to call me?"

Dong Yu sat on the co-pilot and said with a smile: "Why, I can't call you your brother?"

Dong Wenli deliberately said: "Hmph, haven't you been focusing on Xiao Wu recently? You don't have time to think about my sister."

"Listen, listen to what you said, it's full of jealousy." Dong Yu knew that this girl was joking with herself, so she didn't take it to heart, "Since you are jealous, then I will care about you, brother , Say, where do you live now?"

Dong Wenli was taken aback, "I live in the old city, didn't I mention it to you?"

"Yes, I'm in the old city area, the specific house number of the community, and the speed will be recruited."

Dong Wenli was so excited that she almost fell off the bed, "You...brother, you must have come to me, right?"

"Hey, you're really right. I'm indeed here. Hurry up and tell me the address."

Dong Wenli didn't expect Dong Yu to do something like this, she panicked for a while, and stammered, "Brother, why are you here suddenly... are you here?"

"We'll talk about it when we meet, tell me the address."

Dong Wenli had no choice but to tell him the address.

Ten minutes later, Dong Yu and Bai Ruiyang saw Dong Wenli at the gate of Building No. 3 in Xingfu Community. They hadn't seen each other for half a month. Seeing her like this, my whole heart was raised in my throat, and a bad premonition came to my heart. Could it be that some man cheated me?

"Brother Bai?" Dong Wenli thought that Dong Yu came alone, but never expected that Bai Ruiyang would follow.

Bai Ruiyang smiled and nodded, "Your brother and I passed by here on business, so I stopped by to see you."

These words were extremely ingenious, and directly disintegrated Dong Wenli's anxiety just now.When Dong Wenli heard that she just stopped by to see her, she didn't panic anymore, her eyes brightened, and her smile was no longer stiff. She laughed and brought the two of them upstairs to the room she rented.

Dong Wenli rented a place with her classmates, [-] yuan a month, half of each person.Two bedrooms and one living room sounded big enough, but as soon as Dong Yu entered, he realized that the two bedrooms and one living room were pitifully small.Dong Yu walked around after entering the house, and the conditions were almost comparable to the environment in the small shop before. Thinking of the hardships in the past, Dong Yu felt very uncomfortable. Recently, he really put his mind on Dong Jinfeng's going abroad. , he was indeed too negligent towards his sister.

Dong Wenli went to the kitchen to pour water, and Bai Ruiyang came to Dong Yu's side and said, "What's the matter, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Dong Yu didn't deny it, nodded and said, "I'm a bit biased. I've been focusing on Xiao Wu recently. If Xiao Wu hadn't told me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come here."

Bai Ruiyang sighed, "It's a good thing that the fourth girl didn't tell you. It proves that she has grown up and matured, and has the ability and courage to bear the burden of life. You, a brother, should be happy."

Dong Yu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "You always have something to say to me."

"I'm telling the truth, Fourth Girl certainly doesn't want you to worry about her affairs."

The moment Dong Yu opened his mouth, Dong Wenli came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Brother, you and Brother Bai, I don't have tea here, only boiled water, freshly boiled, and a spoonful of sugar, don't be disgusted."

"Bullshit, will I dislike your brother?" Dong Yu sat on the chair, took a sip from the water glass, "It's too hot, drink it later."

"Wen Li, where is the bathroom?" Bai Ruiyang asked.

"It's the one next to the door." Dong Wenli pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

"Well, I'll make it easier for you, brothers and sisters, let's talk." Bai Ruiyang escaped with an excuse, and after entering the bathroom, he took out his cigarette and leaned against the wall to smoke.

Dong Yu hadn't figured out how to speak yet, so he could only hold the teacup and blow the sugar water in it to cool down.

"Brother, Xiao Wu has gone abroad, and you have opened a new store now. When I finish my work, our life will get better and better." Dong Wenli smiled longingly, "I really want to live like that."

What kind of life?Needless to say, the brothers and sisters all know in their hearts that a decent family leads to a happy life.

Dong Yu nodded, put down the water glass and stared at Dong Wenli, "Girl, your complexion is not very good, are you tired?"

Dong Wenli touched her face subconsciously, "Well, I haven't slept well recently."

"Is it because of work?" Dong Yu tentatively asked.

"Eh..." Dong Wenli hesitated for a moment, and then changed the topic, "Brother, you and Brother Bai haven't finished eating yet, right? Shall I show you? There are still vegetables I just bought yesterday in the kitchen."

Dong Yu sighed helplessly, "Don't be sloppy with me." Dong Yu grabbed her hand and adjusted her position. After the siblings faced each other, Dong Yu asked softly: "Xiao Wu sent me a message saying that you cried , I was worried about you, so I made a special trip to see you, and if I have something to tell my brother, maybe my brother can give you an idea!"

Dong Wenli twitched her eyebrows, "Why is Xiao Wu so talkative, I'm fine, I was just in a bad mood that day."

Dong Yu didn't want to play language games with her, so he asked directly, "Are you in a relationship?"

董文莉惊讶道：“什么啊，我哪有心思谈恋爱啊，没有的事儿，是不是小五跟你说的？等他回国看我怎么揍他。”

Dong Yu said, "It's not what Xiao Wu said, it's my guess."

Dong Wenli blushed, "Brother, I'm really not in a relationship."

"That's work?"

Dong Wenli had nothing to say, since the matter has come to this point, it might not be easy to conceal it, so she just kept her head down and played with her fingers.

Dong Yu waited for a long time but didn't see her speak, so he could only urge her again: "You have already reached this point in talking, and you still want to hide it from me?"

Dong Wenli raised her head, "Where are you now, why are you scaring me?"

Dong Yu chuckled, "I didn't scare you, I just asked you to tell me the truth, hurry up and tell the truth."

Dong Wenli let out a long breath, "Brother, I didn't plan to tell you about this, but since you asked, it's okay to tell you, I was crying because of work."

"what happened?"

Dong Wenli's grievances flooded out at this moment, and she opened the gate to release the flood, "Brother, I have already found a job. I went to No.12 Middle School as an intern teacher. I don't have to take classes. The quota has already been set. As a result..." Dong Wenli Wen Li twitched her shoulders, "In the end, the place was replaced by someone. I didn't know it at the time. To find out, I went to the principal of No. [-] Middle School. He and my teacher are friends. Tell me the truth. Well, among the graduates of my class, there was one with a strong background, but the school didn't have many places, so... I was squeezed out."

"There is such a thing?" Although Dong Yu was angry, he had to follow such rules. I am afraid that there are countless people who have encountered such things!However, although this point is infuriating, it is unavoidable. Interpersonal relationships and overlapping backgrounds have already made these chips for one person to win at the starting line.

"Hmm." Dong Wenli's tears trickled down, dripping onto her jeans.

Dong Yu sighed, comforted her and said, "Don't cry, I know you're wronged, but this is nothing to do. Since there is no quota, then we are thinking of other ways." Dong Yu stood up, "Wait for me a moment , I'm going to the toilet." After speaking, Dong Yu went straight to the toilet and walked over.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Dong Wenli finally realized, "Brother Bai is still here..." The voice stopped abruptly, as if she had guessed something.

In the bathroom, Dong Yu asked Bai Ruiyang for a cigarette, "It's too much, and it squeezed out the fourth girl's spot."

Bai Ruiyang cooperated and said, "That's right."

"right."

"Ah."

Dong Yu squinted at him, "I have something to ask you."

Bai Ruiyang smiled and said, "Is the sun coming out from the west? Is Boss Dong willing to ask me?"

"Go away, be serious."

Bai Ruiyang lifted his chin and said triumphantly: "I thought you would be half-familiar with me for the rest of your life. If I hadn't taken the initiative, you probably wouldn't have begged me for the rest of your life."

Dong Yu frowned, "I don't have it, I just feel... Forget it, I'm with you anyway, if the couple don't talk about each other, I'll ask you if you can help me."

"Help, is it the fourth girl's job?"

Dong Yu responded, "Yes."

"Wait." After speaking, Bai Ruiyang took out his mobile phone and dialed the Bai Mansion in Beijing, who happened to be answering the old man Bai.

"grandfather?"

Old Man Bai snorted calmly, "You still know that there is a grandfather like me?"

"Of course I know." Bai Ruiyang smiled at Dong Yu, and continued to talk to old man Bai on the other end of the phone: "Grandpa, grandson wants to ask you something."

"Please?" Old Man Bai laughed loudly, "Is the sun coming out from the west? I thought you would never ask me in your life!"

These words sound familiar.Bai Ruiyang pursed his lips and snickered, "Grandpa..."

"Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you first, when do you plan to come back?"

Bai Ruiyang said, "Soon."

"How long is it soon?"

Bai Ruiyang said: "You help me settle the matter, I will go back immediately."

"Really?"

Bai Ruiyang firmed his tone, "It's absolutely true."

"Okay, you can say it."

Bai Ruiyang said: "Grandpa, the younger sister of the person I like wants to be a teacher. She graduated from a normal school with excellent grades. She originally planned to work in the Northeast, but someone took advantage of her relationship and squeezed her out... "

"Hoho, so you think of me, your grandfather?"

Bai Ruiyang smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"Hmph, you are heartless, still... still, you still have someone you like, you should disgust me, an old man." After finishing speaking, old man Bai hung up the phone directly.

Dong Yu had been eavesdropping, but there was no movement over there, so he asked cautiously, "Did you hang up?"

"Well, hang up."

Dong Yu let out a long breath, "How could you tell your grandfather that?"

"It doesn't matter. My grandfather is very receptive. Keeping pace with the times is not just for young people." Bai Ruiyang stood in front of the mirror and straightened his appearance, "Go out, the work will be settled in a short time, but If you, Wen Li, go to Beijing, do you plan to stay here?"

Dong Yu snorted coldly, "I knew you wanted to kidnap me to Beijing!"
