Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Xu Ting turned around irritably, with her back to them, "He's only a little taller than you, too short, I don't like him."

Xu Ming: “…”

He doesn't want to be a reference.

Xu's mother asked unhappily, "You don't even like the handsome one like him, so what kind do you like?"

"No matter how much you say, it's useless. I just don't like her. She doesn't even look as good as my brother. I don't want her!" Xu Ting stood firm in her position.

Xu Ming: “…”

Why does this sound so harsh?

Xu Ming pulled his mother over and pointed at his face: "Mom, what do you think of me?"

Xu's mother was puzzled by the question, but she still answered his question, "He has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, very handsome."

The classic look of male protagonists on the current screen is that the male protagonists in all movies are basically selected with square faces, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Yes, I also think I look good." Xu Ming turned around and asked, "Tingting, what did you mean by that? What do you mean you are not as good looking as me? In your mind, I am not good looking?"

"......" Xu Ting was confused, but she still had to answer when her brother forced her to do so.

She glanced at his very familiar face without much concern, "He's just so-so, barely decent, but not handsome at all."

"Tingting, what you said is so hurtful. Is this the image of your brother in your mind? I have been nice to you since you were a child in vain." After saying this, Xu Ming looked sad, and without giving them a chance to react, he slammed the door and went into the bedroom.

Xu's mother: "......"

Xu Ting: “…”

"Hey, Boss, I asked you to persuade your sister, why did you hide in the room!" Mother Xu looked back at Xu Ting who had a stubborn look on her face, and finally reacted.

When Mr. Xu got home from get off work, he saw the mother and daughter staring at their son's door. He asked in confusion, "What are you looking at? I'm hungry. Is the meal ready?"

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. You won't starve to death if you skip a meal!" Mother Xu vented her anger and went into the kitchen.

Father Xu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sat down and drank a glass of water, "Tingting, what happened to your mother?"

Xu Ting's throat felt dry and bitter. She stood up and pulled the corner of her mouth. "Maybe it's menopause. Dad, I'm going back to my room first. You don't need to call me for dinner."

"Hey, you haven't told me the cause of the matter..."

The answer he got was Xu Ting impatiently closing the door.

Xu Ting threw her body on the bed, feeling as if her chest was torn apart.

In the past, she could mingle among them with her brother, watching him laugh, get angry, and act cool with his brows raised openly.

But now that he was married and no longer single, she would be shameless even to stare at him, and she had no reason to get close to him.

Every time she saw him being gentle to Lin Shu and the couple's eyes were strained, her heart felt as painful as if it were being tortured to death.

In such a state of mind, how could she calmly watch the loving relationship between the couple?

But who in this world understands her?

Her mother forced her to go on a blind date, her eldest brother looked disapproving, her father was indifferent, and it seemed that no one in the world understood her.

No!

......

During this period, Gu Jiu had to go to the countryside and renovate the old house. Lin Shu would go up the mountain sometimes when the weather was good, but he would no longer stay there for the whole day. Instead, he would go back to the city after a few hours of work.

That day, Lin Shu rode his bike back home around three in the afternoon.

When I put the tools back in the corner of the kitchen, I found that there was a basin on the table where I usually cut vegetables, and there was a big pig's head in the basin.

There is no doubt that this was brought by their brothers.

We eat meat a lot at home recently, and it is impossible for Gu Jiu to buy a pig's head unless it is a festival.

The first thing Lin Shu did when he came back was to boil water for a bath. After running in the mountains for a whole day, his head and body were covered with toxins from the mountain. If he didn't wash it clean, his delicate skin would easily break out in rashes.

Now that I see this pig's head, I can only put aside the idea of ​​taking a bath and deal with it first.

The pig's head was braised first, and Lin Shu stored all the herbs that Gu Jiu had brought back in the morning into the system. Only then did he have time to wash his hair, take a bath, and clean the dirty clothes he had taken off.

Gu Jiu came back on his bike and smelled the overbearing aroma of braised meat in the air before he even entered the house.

Looking at the neighbors sitting and chatting on the old street in the evening, he had a bad feeling and thought to himself that something bad was going to happen.

But his bicycle was not invisible after all. As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, the neighbor lady noticed him.

"Gu's youngest son, where are you coming from? What's in that sack on your bicycle?"

"It's Aunt Cui, you haven't made dinner yet?"

Speaking of cooking dinner, Aunt Cui ignored the sack on his bicycle and said, "Youngest son of the Gu family, your family has been eating well recently. I often smell the aroma of meat coming from your house. This afternoon, I could smell the aroma coming from your house early. What are you stewing?"

"Aunt Cui, everyone's life is pretty much the same. This time and last time, my friend bought a pig's head. They liked my wife's cooking skills, so they brought the pig's head over to my house to share the meal."

According to Gu Jiu's usual personality, if it weren't for the fact that they were neighbors who had lived together for generations, he would not even bother to pay attention to them. He had money and tickets, so he could eat whatever he wanted.

Aunt Cui said in surprise: "Your friend is quite generous to share the money to buy the pig's head."

"Haha, we are all brothers who have played together since childhood."

"Speaking of childhood friends, my eldest son is about the same age as you. Next time we play together, ask him to join us."

Gu Jiu's mouth twitched. He had looked down on his son since he was a child. He was a good boy in the eyes of adults. But in the eyes of Gu Jiu and his companions, he was just too weak and could not get along with their group of naughty peers.

Lin Shu hung up the clothes and heard some noise outside, so she went to open the door. Gu Jiu was holding his bicycle and was about to knock on the door.

"I heard some noise in the house. Who are you talking to?"

Gu Jiu pushed the bicycle into the door, and waited for Lin Shu to close the door before he said, "Aunt Cui next door smelled the meat in our house and stopped me to ask a few questions."

Speaking of Aunt Cui next door, Lin Shu had seen her several times, but had never said hello, let alone know what kind of person she was.

Lin Shu frowned and asked, "Did it affect her? Then should I still eat braised meat in the future? Or should we be more low-key when eating meat in the future?"

Gu Jiu parked his bicycle and loosened the rope that tied the sack. After hearing her words, he couldn't help laughing: "No, we should live our lives as usual. We can do whatever we want at home. My wife doesn't have to live her life at the expense of others."

Lin Shu's brows relaxed after hearing this: "That's more like it, it's what a man should say."

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows proudly and said with a smile: "Believe in your own judgment. Although your man is a street urchin, he is not that bad."

"Alright, look at your self-praise." Lin Shu turned around and put the laundry basins into the utility room. "In the old house, did you lock the door after taking a shower, or did you lock the door before coming back to take a shower?"

"I turned a corner when I came back and locked the door." Gu Jiu took out all the cigarettes and money he had on him, "The Jianjun Aid Korea guys are coming over for dinner tonight. You cook first, and I'll help you cook after I take a shower."

"No wonder there's a pig's head at home. I guess they're coming over for dinner. The meal is already cooked."

"My wife is smart." Gu Jiu held her face and kissed her. "I'll come and help you light the fire right after I finish my shower."

Lin Shu took a step back and said with disgust: "You stink of sweat. Go take a shower and apply soap several times."

Gu Jiu snorted and went into the kitchen to get hot water. If you hadn't noticed the smile on her lips, you would have thought she disliked him.
