The moment Xin Rui stepped into Gu Yu's house, he stood at the entrance and looked inside. The decoration style was American pastoral style, luxurious and retro.
What comes into view is the integrated living room and dining room, which is about forty or fifty square meters. It has exquisite dining tables, coffee tables, sofas, and all kinds of high-end electrical appliances.
Thinking again about the dilapidated bungalow of thirty to forty square meters in my home, and also running a canteen business,
"Aunt Zheng, please bring out a pair of slippers. I will bring my classmates back for dinner."
Hearing the sound of Gu Yu entering the door, the nanny came out of the kitchen and was ready to help Gu Yu put the pajamas and bath towels he wore after bathing into the bathroom.
This is Gu Yu's daily routine.
When it comes to his own nanny, Gu Yu is also more polite and respectful to each other.
Aunt Zheng usually goes to Gu Yu's house at 6:30 in the morning from Monday to Friday to prepare breakfast and wait for Gu Yu to clean up after he goes to school.
She gets off work at 8:30 in the evening, and there is no need for her to be at Gu Yu's house all the time during the day.
Gu Yu would sleep in on weekends and usually didn't get up until nine o'clock. The nanny would prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner, and she would rest every Sunday.
Of course, if Gu Yu didn't eat at home, he would tell her in advance,
"Hello, classmate,"
Aunt Zheng smiled and took out a pair of women's slippers, placed them in front of Xin Rui, and then went back to her own business.
"Who is she?" Xin Rui asked Gu Yu softly before he could say hello.
"Auntie Nanny, I just finished playing ball and I'm going to take a shower. You can watch TV for a while. Dinner will be ready soon."
Gu Yu led Xin Rui to the living room, then turned on the TV and asked her to sit down.
Watching Gu Yu leave, Xin Rui sat alone on the leather sofa. Although it was soft and comfortable, she was a little cramped.
She didn't pay much attention to what was on the TV, but instead looked at the million-dollar mansion her classmates talked about.
During this period, the nanny aunt also brought her fruit drinks.
Comparing the environment in which he grew up, Xin Rui feels inferior and envious at the same time.
It would be great if she could live in such a good house and enjoy such a good life.
Stay in Zhenhua, get into a good university, get close to Gu Yu, and take these three steps at the same time for a better tomorrow!
After some ideological construction, Xin Rui's inner thoughts became more firm.
After dinner, Gu Yu sent Xin Rui out of the community and called a taxi for her.
"This is for you, improve your English scores as soon as possible,"
After Gu Yu got into Xin Rui's car, he handed her a handbag.
Inside is a Walkman that has not yet been unpacked, some English tapes, and some English song albums.
"No, I can't have it."
Xin Rui quickly declined and wanted to return the bag to Gu Yu, but Gu Yu had already closed the taxi door.
"I have so many, but they are gathering dust at home," Gu Yu said with a smile.
Then he took out 5 yuan and gave it to the taxi driver, asking him to take Xin Rui to his destination.
"I heard from Director Pan that most of the Hong Zhisheng who came to Zhenhua this time have left.
It was a bit difficult at first, but as long as you adapt, you can get into a good university by staying in Zhenhua.
The results of the midterm exam will affect or even determine your stay, so do your best during this period. "
Gu Yu said in a calm tone, and then asked the driver to drive.
Xin Rui waved her right hand to Gu Yu and said see you tomorrow, with a grateful face, and held the Walkman given by Gu Yu tightly with her left hand.
Gu Yu's words just now gave her a sense of urgency. If she couldn't even stay in Zhenhua, how could she talk about the future?
"You damn girl, you came back so late, where did you go to play? Didn't you know you would come back early after school to help me sell things?
Still taking a taxi? How much money do you have? Do you really think that after entering Zhenhua Middle School, you will be just like the students there? Is she the eldest lady?
What's that in your hand? Did you buy something yet? Where did you get the money? Did you steal my money? See if I don’t beat you to death, you are a prodigal daughter who has the same virtue as your father! "
As soon as Xin Rui got out of the taxi, her mother heard the noise and came out. She scolded her daughter with a cold face and her mouth like a machine gun.
The more he talked, the angrier he became. Then he saw Xin Rui holding something in his hand. He couldn't help but move his hands, raised his right hand and slapped Xin Rui on the head. He tried to snatch the thing away with his left hand.
Xin Rui stretched out his left hand to cover himself, and held the handbag tightly with his right hand.
"This is a Walkman given to me by my classmate. I went to my classmate's house for dinner," Xin Rui explained hurriedly.
"Giving it to you? The Walkman costs one or two thousand. Which classmate can be so generous?"
Xin's mother snatched the handbag with suspicion. When she saw the unopened packaging box and some tapes inside, she didn't believe her daughter's words.
"This is still unused. How dare you lie to me? Let's see if I don't beat you to death today, you lose money!"
Xin's mother said through gritted teeth, and then looked around to see if there was anyone taking advantage of her.
"I'm not lying to you. My classmate's name is Gu Yu. His family is very rich. They live in Qingdao Mountain Garden. One apartment there costs one million.
All my classmates at school know about him. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”
Xin Rui saw Xin's mother picking up a very thick stick and was about to beat her. She was so frightened that she trembled and spoke very fast.
"Really? Why would they give it to you for no reason?" Xin's mother was doubtful, and the wooden stick she held was not lowered for the time being.
"He's sitting next to me. He has a lot of money at home and doesn't need this." Xin Rui quickly continued to explain,
Ever since she was little, she has been afraid of being beaten, and has always had a timid temper which has something to do with her family.
"These young ladies from rich families really don't take money seriously."
Xin's mother believed most of it and stopped worrying. She threw the stick aside, took her handbag and turned around to go home.
Although it was given to her daughter by another classmate, she had no intention of giving it to Xin Rui.
It looks new at first glance. You can make a lot of money by reselling it. Thinking about it this way, I feel much better and no longer have a sullen face.
"Mom, I want to use this Walkman to learn English," Xin Rui followed and saw that Xin's mother made no move to return it to her, so she hurriedly said,
"Isn't it enough to just read a book? If you want a Walkman, don't you take a look at our family's conditions and your own conditions to deserve such an expensive Walkman?"
Xin's mother said harshly, her face became stern again, then she thought of something and put on a false smile on her face,
"I think this thing can be sold for hundreds or even thousands at least. Our family can only make so much in a month. When the money is sold, mom will buy you an old hen and make up for it."
Xin's mother settled the matter. Thinking of the RMB she was about to receive, her smile became much more sincere and she stopped talking to her daughter.
"No, Mom, this is a gift from my classmate. If he doesn't see me using it, he will be unhappy and will ignore me in the future.
And after I arrived in Zhenhua, I discovered that my oral listening skills were much worse than those of other students. I couldn’t improve without listening to tapes.
The midterm exam is next month. If my grades are still not satisfactory, I won’t be able to stay in Zhenhua.
Mom, if my grades improve, I can get into a good university. Then I will earn more in the future, so you won’t have to open a canteen."
