Return To 1998

Chapter 498: It's another year's New Year's Eve

January 23, New Year's Eve.

  

   Xu Tongdao has returned to his new home in the county seat.

  

   Since the morning, he has been busy, posting couplets, helping his mother prepare New Year’s Eve dinner, worshipping ancestors...

  

   From noon, the sound of firecrackers came from all over the county town from time to time.

  

   From tomorrow, it will be 2001.

  

   Shazhou County has no policy of banning fireworks and fireworks, so during the New Year, the sound of fireworks and fireworks will be heard everywhere in the county.

  

   The New Year atmosphere of Xu Tong Taoist school is okay this year, better than last year.

  

After all, his dad Xu Weixi has been missing for several years, and the whole family has slowly emerged from the shadow of that incident, especially as the life at home gets better and better, even better than when Xu Weixi was there, Xu Weixi’s The rumors of disappearance and elopement with her elder mother Bai Meifeng will naturally have less and less impact on their family.

  

   This is Xu Tongdao gratified.

  

   is also what he wants to see.

  

   His family’s New Year’s Eve dinner this year is not much richer than last year, because his family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was already very rich last year, and it is really difficult to add dishes.

  

   is nothing more than a few more seafood.

  

   such as treasure crab, such as turbot, such as large lobster.

  

   But, because of the character of his mother and younger brother, the atmosphere of this New Year's Eve dinner is not warm.

  

   Mother Ge Xiaozhu is still an honest and introverted son, and his brother Xu Tonglu talks so little.

  

  Only sister Ge Yuzhu should be more lively.

  

   At the end of the New Year’s Eve dinner, Xu Tongdao went to his bedroom and took out two red envelopes and a jewelry box.

  

   handed a red envelope to his brother Xu Tonglu, "For you! Take it! If you usually want to buy something, buy it yourself."

  

  Xu Tonglu looked at the bulging red envelope, raised his eyes to look at Xu Tongdao, silently for a few seconds before reaching out, "Thank you, brother."

  

   put the red envelope at hand, he continued to pick up vegetables and stuff it into his mouth.

  

   did not open the red envelope to see how much money was stuffed in it.

  

  Xu Tongdao's expression is a little helpless, this kid is so temperament...

  

   sighed inwardly, he returned to his smile, and handed another red envelope to his sister Ge Yuzhu, "Here is it for you! Keep buying something you like."

  

   "Hey, thank you brother!"

  

   Ge Yuzhu did not hesitate, and quickly took it with both hands happily, opened the mouth of the red envelope on the spot, looked inside, and saw a wad of hundred yuan bills.

  

   followed, Xu Tongdao handed the jewelry box to his mother Ge Xiaozhu.

  

   "Mom, for so many years, it is not easy for you to pull our three brothers and sisters big, and you have never had any jewelry on your body. I honored you with this necklace. You can try it on?"

  

Ge Xiaozhu had a complicated expression with a smile on his face, and he sighed, "You! What kind of jewelry can you buy me? If you have money, save it yourself. If it's sunny, you can make money. Don't save as much as possible. , In case you can't earn anymore, how will your life be?"

  

   was educating her son, she hesitated, and reached out to take the jewelry box.

  

   opened it and took a look.

  

   Xu Tonglu and Ge Yuzhu also looked at the necklace in the jewelry box curiously.

  

   is not a special style, just a small golden monkey hung on a gold chain.

  

   She is a monkey.

  

   The gold chain is not very thick either.

  

  Because Xu Tongdao understands her mother's character, if the chain is too thick and too expensive, she would definitely be reluctant to wear it.

  

   And since he bought her a necklace, of course he didn't want her to keep the necklace in the cabinet.

  

   "This... Isn't it expensive? Why buy me such an expensive necklace? It's a waste!"

  

   Ge Xiaozhu looked at the necklace in the box with complicated eyes. Xu Tongdao could see that she liked it, but she still habitually scolded him.

  

   He didn't think about it.

  

Seeing his mother liked it, he was very happy in his heart.

  

   Xu Tonglu glanced a few times, then took his gaze back and continued eating, without saying anything.

  

Ge Yuzhu couldn't help but sit next to her mother, staring at the gold necklace with shining eyes, and praised: "Mom! May I put it on for you? If the size is not right, I can let the big brother take it. Change it, right?"

  

   said, she reached for the jewelry box.

  

   Ge Xiaozhu laughed, "It's not clothes or shoes. What size is not appropriate? Forget it, don't wear it. Such expensive things, don't break it..."

  

   She objected subconsciously, but she was not resolute at all.

  

Daughter Ge Yuzhu didn't listen to her at all. She smiled and took the box in her hand, got up and carefully took out the necklace, and enthusiastically asked Ge Xiaozhu to cooperate with her. It took him a while before helping Ge Xiaozhu to put the necklace. Put on the neck.

  

   Don't blame her for being unskilled.

  

   There was no necklace at all in the family.

  

   Mother Ge Xiaozhu did not, nor did she.

  

   "Mom, it's so beautiful!"

  

   After helping her mother put on the necklace, Ge Yuzhu walked a half step forward, and carefully looked at the necklace on her mother's neck, Ge Yuzhu smiled and praised.

  

   Ge Xiaozhu also looked down at the necklace with a flushed face.

  

   looked a little in a trance.

  

When Xu Tongdao saw that his sister Ge Yuzhu seemed to like necklaces very much, he smiled and said: "Yuzhu, next year you will test your score better. Next year, when the Chinese New Year, your elder brother will also give you a necklace. Then I will take you to the gold shop. Choose what you like!"

  

"Really?"

  

   Ge Yuzhu's eyes lit up and turned to look at Xu Tongdao.

  

  Xu Tongdao smiled and nodded.

  

However, Ge Yuzhu suddenly sighed and shook his head, "Forget it! Necklaces are so expensive, it’s not easy for you to make money, let’s not squander it. Actually, I and I don’t really like necklaces, let’s talk about it, brother. You see, my skin is so dark, and wearing a necklace will definitely not look good, hehe."

  

   She is still so sensible.

  

   He obviously likes necklaces, but says he doesn't like them.

  

  Xu Tongdao smiled and didn't argue with her.

  

   If she is not sensible, if she asks him to ask for a nice and expensive necklace, and spends her whole day wondering how to dress herself up and make her look like a bee and butterfly, then he will not buy her any jewellery.

  

   But she is so sensible.

  

   Then, if he is capable, how can he stingy with a necklace?

  

  ……

  

  After dinner~lightnovelpub.net~ Xu Tongdao greeted his mother and the others, took the wallet, keys, and drove out of the car.

  

   Daolin BBQ is still open tonight.

  

   He wanted to go and have a look. By the way, he would also say a few auspicious words for the New Year to the staff of the barbecue restaurant, and then give everyone a red envelope.

  

   By the way, I also want to chat with Xu Tonglin.

  

   Speaking of it, he and Xu Tonglin are brothers. When his family was the most difficult at the beginning, only Xu Tonglin was willing to come to the county with him.

  

   set up a barbecue stall with him, and then opened the current Daolin barbecue restaurant.

  

   Now another year has passed. His Xu Tongdao has opened a world in the city, with a net worth of millions, and Xu Tonglin is still in that small Daolin barbecue restaurant.

  

   He wanted to ask Xu Tonglin's thoughts.

  

   Do you want to go to the city with him?

  

   If Xu Tonglin wants to go, then Xu Tongdao will find a way to transfer Xu Tonglin there.

  

   As for Daolin barbecue restaurant?

  

   Whether to open or not, for him now, it has no effect.

  

Although the barbecue restaurant has been profitable and the profit is still considerable, but even if the restaurant is sold out, he takes the money to open another Internet cafe in the city. The barbecue restaurant can also earn the little money earned every month. Come.
