[Waiting for the end of the world] Dongli chrysanthemum

Speaking of it, the time that Eleven and his younger siblings spent together may not even be two years, and the degree of familiarity with each other is not much better than that of strangers. First, Eleven's temperament is a bit deserted. Back then, he lived on campus in junior high school, and the school left home. It's not far away, and it takes 20 minutes to ride a bicycle. He won't go home unless he is going home to get living expenses. His parents are also busy with work, so he can follow him. The conditions at home are not good, and he can't read or study. It is convenient, but the environment in school is much better. Second, it is really difficult at home. Except for the necessities of survival, I spend very little money on other things, including phone calls. I went to elementary school until the age of seven, including junior high school, and I also studied with my grandma.When I went back to high school on eleventh, my temperament became more and more deserted, and I didn't move around much, so I couldn't get acquainted naturally.

The house is not big, especially the room where the little brother and the others sleep. Two double-decker single beds are arranged side by side, and a wooden table is placed in the rest of the room. On the table is a 14-inch old-fashioned computer monitor with a big tail. The box is next to the monitor; add two wooden stools nailed by myself, and there is not much room in the room.

Tao Deming built half of the yard with black linoleum to build a shed, which is the kitchen. In the corner, he built an extremely simple bathroom with plastic sheets and linoleum. If it is convenient, he can only go to the public toilet outside.

The shed is relatively low, and Yan Changnian had to bow his head to enter the house. The light in the house is not good, the windows are a bit small, and it is in the shade. You have to turn on the lights when looking for things during the day. Even if you sprinkle water on the concrete floor, it is still black and gray It was black and gray, and there were always people sitting beside the bed, and the sheets were so small that the original color of the wood could not be seen on the exposed edge of the bed board. Yan Changnian glanced over it calmly, and sat down without paying attention.

Seeing this, Eleven secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Yan Changnian dared to frown or show disgust, he would definitely kick him away.

Outside, Ding Aili wanted to use a rice bowl to pour water for Yan Changnian, but Tao Yuanhang took the bowl away, and went into his room to find some disposable paper cups.

Eleven didn’t make it clear on the phone. Ding Aili thought he was taking the train, and estimated that he would arrive home tomorrow, but unexpectedly, he came back by plane. The friends he brought with him were like big stars on TV. There was no food at home. He hurriedly hid outside and called her husband. When Tao Deming heard it, he immediately instructed her to call his second son and ask him to ask for leave.

At home, Tao Deming was the only sanctioner, and Ding Aili naturally complied. Tao Xiulei over there was a little surprised, but also complied. Fortunately, the work of the day was almost completed, and it was enough to just tell the boss.Ding Aili asked him to inform the younger sister that if they could come back together, they would come back together.

The little girl's full name is Tao Xiaomei. Tao Xiulei brought Tao Xiaomei back in the car assigned to him by the company. The two of them saw Yan Changnian's car parked outside at a glance. Tao Xiaomei said: "Oh my God, Lexus! Yes! money man!"

Tao Xiulei: "Don't be an idiot."

"...Which eye of yours saw me insane?"

"Saw both."

"..."

Tao Xiulei is the only one among the three brothers whose height is higher than that of Tao's father. He barely reached 178. No matter how he exercised and carefully matched his food, he could not break through 180. When he saw Yan Changnian, he was envious and hated countless times, but his face still maintained With a good smile, he shook hands with him blissfully, and talked with him for a few words. When Tao Deming came back, he still exchanged greetings, and then they all changed their clothes and set off for the hotel.

The number of times the family went to restaurants and hotels for dinner is one of the few. At least they didn’t go there before going to work, and they didn’t even go to food stalls.

Seven people, Yan Changnian's car just happened to be, and Tao Xiulei didn't use his car. Both of them were good at making friends, and it was as if they had known each other for a long time in a short period of time. Tao Xiulei suggested that he drive, saying that he had never driven before. Yan Changnian naturally agrees to enjoy a good car.

Ding Aili's motion sickness was particularly severe. She sat in the passenger seat. Behind her were Tao Yuanhang and Eleven. Tao Deming and Yan Changnian sat in the last row. Neither arrogant nor humble, always keep his back straight, use gestures to strengthen persuasiveness when speaking, and occasionally show a smile, teeth that are whiter than the black toothpaste advertisements on TV will shine on his lips. If you look carefully, Papa Tao is actually Also very handsome.

Tao Xiulei took them to an old hotel. The decoration was not luxurious, but it had a good reputation. The price of the hotel was affordable by ordinary people.

It's not that he is reluctant to spend money to go to a more high-end hotel, but since he is a friend of Shiyi, there is nothing good in pretending to be too much, and it will make people look down on him.

Ordering food and wine, no one here drinks liquor, so they only need two bottles of beer to raise the atmosphere, Ding Aili doesn't drink alcohol, and she can't drink on eleven, so the two of them just drink drinks, and the other five people share two bottles of beer, and then ordered another The two bottles were basically drunk by Yan Changnian, Tao Xiulei and Tao Yuanhang.

During the banquet, the wine was in full swing and the atmosphere was strong. Yan Changnian took out the boxes that Yan Bawang gave to Eleven, put one in front of Tao Deming and the other in front of Ding Aili, and opened it: "Uncle and aunt, this is a gift from my father, please be sure to Take it."

In the box in front of Ding Aili is a whole set of gold jewelry. The choice of gold jewelry is carefully considered. For a family like Eleven, gold jewelry can be given as a gift or worn as jewelry, and it can also be kept as gold to increase its value. What other jade? Diamonds are not useful, and rural people may not value them very much; in the box in front of Tao Deming is a men's mechanical watch.

Except for Shi Shi, everyone in the Tao family was surprised. Yan Changnian briefly explained how Shi Shi saved him, and then said: "I was the one who got Shi Shi into trouble, and it was Shi Shi who saved me in the end. There are not many things. It's worth money, please accept it and apologize."

Tao Deming saw at a glance that the set of gold jewelry was exquisitely made and not light in weight. The bracelet alone weighed at least two or two, and the watch looked expensive: "This thank you gift is too heavy, we can't accept it. Besides, we educate children to value morality. Light profit is not for praise and reward."

"I know. Eleven once said that my uncle was a teacher. I think you have done it very successfully. You have taught a good boy like Eleven, and his brothers and sisters are all pillars of the country. I admire you... "

Yan Changnian often went to the negotiating table, and he was faced with people who spent every ounce of their intestines. Although Tao Deming was old and simple, he was far from his opponent, so he had to accept it in the end.

Tao Xiaomei drank the beer and smiled like a flower. She asked Yan Changnian where she was from and what she did, and finally asked whether she was married or not. Although Tao Deming thought she was reckless, it was not easy to scold her. Looking at Yan Changnian, Yan Changnian smiled slightly: "I already have a lover."

Tao Xiaomei picked up the wine glass: "Really? I wish you happiness."

"Thank you."

Tao Yuanhang can't drink, but he likes to drink. After half a glass of beer, his face turns red, and when he leaves, his footsteps are sloppy, and he is already slightly drunk.

Yan Changnian is eloquent and good at making decisions, and he is also sincere to others, so he quickly won the favor of everyone in the Tao family.

When it was time to pay the bill, Yan Changnian was tongue-tied again and rushed to pay the bill. Tao Xiulei was at a disadvantage, so he booked a room for him in the hotel, and Yan Changnian would rest at the hotel at night.

The night wind is blowing, and the night in the city is charming. A few people walked along the river for a while. The redbud trees on both sides of the river are still full of green leaves, shaking gently in the night wind. There are many people sitting under the trees to enjoy the cool air. passerby.

After watching the night scene, Tao Deming and Ding Aili were old after all, and they said they wanted to go back after walking for a while. Yan Changnian gave Tao Xiulei the car keys, and Tao Xiulei drove them back. The rest of the people found benches by the river. Sit down and wait for Tao Xiulei to come back.

Tao Yuanhang was blown by the wind, drunk so much, he found a trash can and vomited, Yan Changnian bought mineral water for him to rinse his mouth, he didn't look disgusted at all, no matter how thick Tao Yuanhang was in front of Yan Changnian He also felt ashamed, and didn't say a few words until Tao Xiulei came back.

A group of people shopping, the pedestrian street, and the commercial street have all changed a lot compared to more than ten years ago, and are becoming more and more prosperous. It is Friday night again, and the streets are full of people.

Although Yan Changnian was a classmate of Eleven, he was one year younger than Tao Xiulei. Xia Tian had just passed his 28th birthday, and was the same age as Tao Yuanhang, only five months older.He skipped several grades when he was studying, and he was only 21 years old after finishing his graduate studies. He completely convinced the Tao family brothers and sisters.

When the hour hand reached ten o'clock, Yan Changnian and Eleven were tired from the journey, and after walking around for a long time, Tao Xiulei proposed to go back, thinking about the housing situation at home, let Eleven and Yan Changnian stay in the hotel together, although Yan Changnian was in H City In life, after all, you come as a guest, you can't neglect it, and it's not good to leave Yan Changnian in the hotel by yourself, so Eleven will accompany you.

Although Eleven felt that there was nothing to worry about with Yan Changnian, he didn't dare to tell his siblings, after all, his relationship with Yan Changnian couldn't be made public with great fanfare.

Tao Xiulei reserved a single room for Yan Changnian and the others, and they went back to their rooms. On the eleventh, they locked the door and entered the Dongli space. Eleven, he was in his room when he went out, and after a brief wash, the two embraced and fell asleep.

Yan Chang was very tired, and soon his breathing became long, with one leg on Shi Shi's waist, Shi Shi couldn't sleep, and listened to Yan Chang's voice in a daze.

Although the family members are happy for him to come back, after all, they don’t have many contacts. Even with relatives, it becomes a habit to keep the relationship indifferent. Sometimes they don’t know what to say. When he comes back, he is back, but he feels like an outsider. , how can not integrate.

Yan Changnian woke up in the middle of the year. He didn't know that Shi Shi didn't sleep. The air conditioner was on in the room. Close people, they are so close, they gradually fell asleep.
