Return To 1998

The twenty-eighth afternoon of the twelfth lunar month.

Xu Tonglin, who was put on vacation by Xu Tongdao for a long time, took a simple baggage alone, boarded the awning boat back to his hometown, and returned to Xujia Village alone.

Although he is alone, he is in a good mood. When he enters the village fast, his face is filled with the joy of returning home. In fact, when he is in the store, he doesn't dress well, and his clothes and shoes are often dirty. , But when he went home today, he deliberately changed into a brand new suit, shoes, and even a pair of red socks.

Don't ask why it's red, it's Meng Sao!

In fact, not only the socks, but the down jacket he is wearing today is also bright red.

The big red short down jacket, blue jeans, red socks, black leather shoes, this outfit made him walk home with his head high.

The smiles on his face all reveal a bit of self-confidence.

And this kind of self-confidence, when he used to study, he had never had it on his face.

Who told him that when he was in school, his grades and appearance were not very good, and his family background was average!

But now...obviously, after he followed Xu Tongdao to the county for half a year, his whole person exuded a breath of "confidence" from the inside to the outside.

Well, this kind of breath often appears on upstarts.

Since entering the village, Xu Tonglin has looked like a great young man who loves life. Every villager he meets, whether men, women, young or old, greets him with a smile on his face.

It seemed that he was afraid that others would not know that he was back.

Coincidentally: Xu Changsheng was carrying a bamboo basket and was heading to the village head. By visual inspection, it seemed that he was going to make vegetables in the field.

As a result, the two met unexpectedly by the small river in the middle of the village.

Xu Tonglin raised his hand and said hello to Xu Changsheng, "Oh, Changsheng! Are you going to make food?"

Xu Changsheng is two or three years older than him.

But Xu Changsheng has not changed much now and six months ago.

The old clothes I wore last year, the year before last, or even earlier, and the sneakers on my feet were washed white and fluffy.

Suddenly seeing Xu Tonglin in new clothes and new shoes come back, Xu Changsheng was startled, and then the expression in his eyes became very complicated.

Reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and greeted him stiffly, "Lin Zi is back for the New Year!"

He couldn't forget that Xu Tongdao took Xu Tonglin to his house to find him, and asked them if they would like to go to the county town with him.

As a result, he declined Xu Tongdao's invitation.

But the kid Xu Tonglin agreed, and then, only half a year has passed, and Xu Changsheng hasn't changed much, but Xu Tonglin seems to be completely reborn.

Is this still the little fat guy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun before?

Xu Changsheng was very complicated.

But Xu Tonglin didn't care at all, and passed him without stopping.

Xu Changsheng looked down at the vegetable basket in his hand and couldn't help but look back at Xu Tonglin's back. This little fat man seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but his waist was so straight. From his back, he could see the little fat man's pride. .

Xu Changsheng was silent.

…

Before long, Xu Tonglin passed by the door of Ge Xiaotian's house.

Ge Xiaotian was basking in the sun at the door, squatting his little dog—Huahua by his feet.

Seeing him, Xu Tonglin also raised his hand to say hello, "Hey! Xiaotian! Where's the sun?"

Ge Xiaotian was originally drowsy by the sun. He heard Xu Tonglin's voice. He opened his eyes and saw the new Xu Tonglin. Ge Xiaotian almost didn't recognize it. He blinked before reacting. He stood up subconsciously and looked up and down Xu Tonglin in surprise. , Could not help asking: "Lin Zi? Are you back? You, your clothes are not cheap, right?"

Xu Tonglin smiled and waved his hand humbly, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive! This down jacket is only two hundred yuan! It's really not expensive! Haha!"

Ge Xiaotian opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing how to pick him up.

It just so happened that his elder sister Ge Xiaoyu came out of the house with a pot of muddy radishes, she should be going to wash by the river in front of the door.

As a result, she also saw Xu Tonglin in new clothes and new shoes, and...heard Xu Tonglin's "modest" bragging just now.

She frowned immediately.

She was disgusted in her heart.

But looking at Xu Tonglin from the inside out, who was very different from half a year ago, she was also a little dazed. She had long heard that after graduating from junior high school, Xu Tonglin had followed Xu Tongdao to go to the county.

Unexpectedly, in the past six months, Xu Tonglin will change so much.

Seeing her, Xu Tonglin also raised his hand and said hello, "Oh, this is not a small fish! Happy new year! Hehe."

Hearing him greet him, Ge Xiaoyu endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back, and asked: "Where's the trail? Why did you come back alone? He didn't come back with you?"

Xu Tongdao has always liked to appear next to her, and she knows that she likes her.

Regardless of whether she is interested in Xu Tongdao, the fact is: Xu Tongdao has left a shadow in her heart after all.

If Xu Tongdao was like Yuan Shikong, after graduating from junior high school, she would be obscured by the public, she might be a few years later, Ge Xiaoyu, would never think of him again.

But this life is different after all.

Every time she went home, she heard people say that Xu Tongdao did a good job in the county town, and seemed to have made a lot of money, so she couldn't care about it at all.

No, she just heard Xu Tonglin greet her, but she couldn't help but ask if she didn't see Xu Tongdao.

Perhaps, using the word "complex" can well describe how she feels about Xu Tongdao now.

In the past, Xu Tongdao always liked to find opportunities to approach her. When she was kind to her, she was disgusted, just as she disgusted every man in the village who wanted to approach her.

Later, when the results of the high school entrance examination came out, when she learned that Xu Tongdao did better than her, but chose not to go to high school, she was surprised, a little regretful, and a little disappointed.

At that time, she thought that the gap between Xu Tongdao and her would definitely get bigger and bigger in this life.

result…

In the past six months, Xu Tongdao did not play cards according to common sense. Every time she went home, she heard that he mixed well.

Combining various emotions, UU reading www.uukanshu.com may not know how she feels about him now.

Xu Tonglin chuckled lightly, "Small road! He is busy and has no time to come back!"

He answered casually, and Xu Tonglin kept walking.

…

Not long.

He didn't go back to his home first, but went straight to the Taoist Xutong first.

Xu Tongdao's mother Ge Xiaozhu was sewing clothes while basking in the sun.

Xu Tonglin shouted with a smile on his face from a distance: "Auntie! Auntie!"

Ge Xiaozhu looked up blankly and saw him, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were looking behind Xu Tonglin. After a few glances, she didn't see her son Xu Tongdao. She couldn't help frowning, "Linzi, you're back, where is my path? Didn't he come back with you?"
