The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

Xu Rui left at the end of August. No one saw him off when he went abroad. He left the imperial capital alone with a suitcase.

Xu Ning has already called Donna who is in Cambridge, and the house has been found there. It is not far from the school, and shopping around is very convenient. The rent is not bad, not too expensive. Of course, the house is a set The apartment is decorated in a very European and American style.

Probably Donna also knew that Xu's family was not short of this little money, so she didn't look for that kind of ordinary house, which made Xu Ning very satisfied.

As for Xu Rui, if he feels inappropriate after he passes by, he can find a decoration worker to change it again. Besides, Xu Rui has a huge sum of 120,000 to 30,000 U.S. dollars, so it is very easy to buy a house nearby. The holidays in China will definitely not be as expensive as in China.

After seeing off Xu Rui, the Xu family felt a lot quieter in an instant. At first, the grandparents were lost at home for a few days, and they were choked up crying when they received Xu Rui's call.

Xu Rui would call his grandparents according to domestic time two days ago, but today he was not going to call because he was going out to buy a car.

Maybe it was because he knew that Xu Rui was also at Harvard, so Lu Ci found out about him after he came over, and then he directly spent money to rent a house next to Xu Rui.

When Lu Ci came over, the Lu family also asked a cooking aunt to follow him, just to take care of his son's daily life.

"Yourself?" Knocking on the door next door, seeing Xu Rui bending over to clean, he asked curiously.

Xu Rui turned sideways to let the other party in, "Myself, you sit down first, we will leave after I finish cleaning."

Today he was going out to look at the car, so he asked Lu Ci to go out for a stroll together.

He plans to take advantage of these two days of free time to test for an American driver's license, which is quite easy here.

"Can you cook?" After a while, the Lu family will have to send him a driver, and Lu Ci readily accepts it, but now he has to think about it.

Why don't he do the grocery shopping and ask Xu Rui to cook, and the two of them form a partnership. The key is that there are two more people living besides himself. To be honest, Lu Ci doesn't like it very much.

There is a washing machine for washing clothes, and he is fine with cleaning the room. The key is that he is helpless when cooking.

"I can cook some home-cooked food." Xu Rui dumped the garbage into the trash can, stretched himself, went back to the room and found a set of clothes, "Wait a minute, take a shower."

Half an hour after going out, two tall and handsome men with black hair and black pupils were walking on the streets of a foreign country, and they still attracted people's attention.

I took a taxi at the door and asked the driver where there was a second-hand car sale. The driver said a few places, and after the two answered, he took them to the largest second-hand car market.

Lu Ci was really puzzled.

The Xu family is very good. I heard from my parents that the assets of the Xu family are more powerful than their Lu family's Chuci technology. How can Lu Ci know everything?

I thought I was pretty good before, but now compared with Xu Rui, there is still a big gap.

The two walked around outside for a long time before they bought some vegetables and seasonings at the supermarket near the apartment and returned home.

Seeing Lu Ci coming in behind him, Xu Rui didn't say anything.

"Xu Rui, let's discuss something." Lu Ci stood outside the roundabout in front of the open kitchen, watching Xu Rui put all the things he bought into the refrigerator.

Xu Rui glanced at the other party, "Say."

"We are destined to be classmates, and the director of my high school is still your sister, so our relationship is naturally unusual, right?" Lu Ci saw Xu Rui holding a cabbage, and didn't know what he was going to do. Chicken, breadcrumbs, carrots... "I don't like carrots."

"..." Xu Rui looked up at Lu Ci, "It's okay, I'm not picky."

Lu Ci's face turned purple, "Let's not use carrots, it's really not tasty. I'll discuss it with you, and let me buy the dishes in the future. Can you cook for the two of us? I'll give it to my dad later. Mom made a phone call and told my aunt to go back to China, and if she didn’t want to study abroad, she had to bring her helper with her.”

Xu Rui didn't think there was anything wrong with this, "Okay, let's eat, I have no objection."

He didn't say that he doesn't need the other party to buy vegetables, he must buy them, whose money is not whose? Lu Ci must not be allowed to eat and drink for free.

Lu Ci smiled, "The carrot..." Don't take it, right?

"I advise you not to be picky about your food. Carrots are very nutritious. Otherwise, where do you get supplements of carotene and vitamins A, B, and C?" It's strange that you still despise it when it's so nutritious.

Lu Ci shut up, eating people is short-mouthed, if you don't eat, you have to go back.

Although Auntie's cooking is also very good, but he wants to spend his study abroad career alone, so he must discuss it with Xu Rui. The future is still long, let's take it slowly, he has good patience.

It's a pity that he has good patience, but he can't compare with Xu Rui's temper. In the end, five years ago from college abroad to returning to China, he really became a good baby who is not picky about food.

What Xu Rui made today was stuffed cabbage and chicken rice crackers.

Lu Ci lay here and watched Xu Rui busy.

Roll the prepared chicken breast twice in the bread flour, then roll it up with cabbage, wait for the oil in the pan to heat up, fry it in it, and fry it for about three or four minutes on the front and back sides, then remove it from the inside Come out and put on a plate.

It smelled so good that Lu Ci couldn't help but salivate.

"Who did you learn from? Your test scores are much better than mine, and you still have time to learn how to cook?" Lu Ci really admired Xu Rui. Although his personality has always been a bit foolish, but this time he is really good at taking the test. After working hard, who knows that he is 22 points lower than Xu Rui, which is really a big difference.

Xu Rui flipped the chicken rice rolls in the oil pan, "I have a lot of time, except for class and homework, everything else is mine."

"Aren't you reviewing?" Lu Ci asked.

"I reviewed for a month before the exam." This is already Xu Rui's normal state. He said it was a review, and he just looked through the past and memorized the notes. Occasionally, he would buy and brush up the questions when he was diligent, although those questions seemed easy to Xu Rui.

Seeing Lu Ci's surprised look, Xu Rui smiled and said, "You are also very good. Isn't there no extracurricular homework in Diyi High School? And there are extracurricular activities in the first half of the third year of high school, but the High School Affiliated to Dida University does not."

Lu Ci said the same thing when he heard it, "Not to mention, Diyi High School is really good, very good, our daily schoolwork is not bad, and we have a lot of time to participate in sports activities outside of class. I like playing basketball very much at school. I was in the third year of high school, and I also served as the president of the basketball club. It's a pity that there were no games this year, but I heard that in October this year, the juniors in the school will represent Diyi High School in the basketball game, the Global Youth Basketball Championship, I don’t know if I can come to the United States, but I am looking forward to it. I heard from the consultant teacher of our basketball club that I will definitely be able to sign up. If there is no class, let’s go and have a look.”

"There is a chance." Xu Rui did not refuse. I don't know if the elder sister will come over at that time, but the possibility is not high. The two young nephews in the family cannot do without the elder sister.

Xu Rui cooked three more dishes, and then served a bowl of rice for the two of them before watching the news at the dining table, chatting and eating.

Lu Ci picked up a piece of chicken rice roll with his first chopsticks, not to mention, if he eats it right now, it will be just warm enough not to burn his mouth, and the stuffed roll outside is not fried heavily, and he can hear the vegetable's "please" after taking a bite , the chicken breast inside is marinated in advance, the saltiness is just right, the bread flour on the surface is not particularly crispy because it has been left for a period of time, but it does not affect the taste.

All in all, it was delicious.

Lu Ci stuffed his mouth slowly, and even picked up spicy boiled fish and poured some vegetable soup into the rice, "Xu Rui, I think it's a pity that you inherit Ningrui Real Estate, you should be a chef, Wouldn't it be a pity to have such a good cooking skill?"

After eating a meal, he was instantly fancied by Xu Rui, which made Lu Ci feel bad-tempered.

Xu Rui held his chopsticks for a while, and then took a mouthful of rice, "I can't do it. Compared with my sister, I'm just a beginner in cooking."

"..." Lu Ci wanted to die.

Is the manager Xu of their family so awesome?

"We are good friends now, why don't you take me to the school manager's house when you go home for the Chinese New Year?" He asked excitedly.

"Winter vacation is here for Christmas. When our family celebrates the Spring Festival, the school has already started, and we can't go back." Xu Rui gave the other party a science introduction, "Next year's summer vacation."

Lu Ci almost didn't go crazy. He wanted to be independent when he went abroad to study, but he didn't think he wouldn't be able to go back for the Chinese New Year.

It's kind of... makes me want to cry.

"Didn't you read the college brochure attached to the admission letter? It's written very clearly." Xu Rui was a little unconfident about the classmate next door.

"I didn't see it, I thought our winter and summer vacations were the same." Lu Ci was really depressed, and he had told his parents in a bully way before that he would bring them gifts when he returned home.

"We celebrate New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, while others celebrate Christmas, which falls on December 24th and 25th in the Gregorian calendar. Our domestic Spring Festival is earlier at the end of January, and later is in February in the Gregorian calendar. How can it be possible to go home for the Spring Festival? When my sister was studying here, she only returned to China once every three years."

"Okay, I got it." Lu Ci is a person who is good at self-regulation, commonly known as optimistic, if he can't go back, he won't go back. Anyway, he is accompanied by Xu Rui here, and he can be late every day for the meals made by Xu Rui.

I will go to book a plane ticket for my aunt tonight, and let her go back to China tomorrow.

The aunt who took care of him has been working in the Lu family for several years, and the family trusts her so much that they let her go abroad to take care of his diet and daily life. However, the aunt also has two children at home, and she only came out for money. The Lu family works, and I believe that my aunt is more willing to return to China.

After dinner, he called his parents. At this time, it was three or four o'clock in the morning in China.

After chatting with his mother, Lu Ci didn't go back immediately. He played here until 10:30 in the evening before rushing to the next door.

"Xiao Lu is back?" Auntie saw Lu Ci coming in, "Do you want some of the food I cooked for you?"

Lu Ci smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, come here and let me talk to you."

"What's the matter?" Aunt came to the living room and sat down.

"I made an agreement with my mother to let you go back tomorrow, and you will continue to work at my house."

Auntie was very happy to hear the news. After all, she still has two children. Her daughter went to work before she finished junior high school, and her son is now in junior high school. To be honest, she would panic if she didn’t see her son for a year or so , it would be best to be able to return home.

"Auntie, go back, what are you going to do here? Going out to eat every day? It's not good for your health." She still cares about Lu Ci very much. Look down on her, and call auntie when she sees herself, she likes this child very much.

"I'm fine. I'll go to the next door for dinner. That's also from Huaxia. We came to study together. The boss of our school is his sister. Don't worry about me. I called my mother just now and she agreed. "

"Okay then, when will I go back?" The wife agreed, and she could go back naturally, thinking about buying something here before leaving. I heard that the things here are cheap.

"Auntie, what do you want to buy? Why don't I go out with you tomorrow, and take you to the plane the day after tomorrow." Lu Ci was worried about letting Auntie go out by herself. She couldn't speak a word of English. After learning a few words of her daily expressions, she learned a sentence of "Hello", which is full of earthy taste.

"That's great, thank you Xiao Lu." The aunt said happily: "Since I came here, I can't go back empty-handed and buy two foreign clothes for the child to wear."

Lu Ci chuckled and said, "Auntie, you really don't need this. If you want to buy something, you can buy some that are rare in our country. Many foreign clothes are made in China and then exported. It's better to buy them in China."

"Really?" Auntie asked in surprise, seeing Lu Ci nodding repeatedly, she believed it.

Then buy something else. My son is quite sensible. He knows that it is not easy for his parents to make money, and his sister is about to find a husband’s family. Generally, he will not compare with others. Besides, the school his son goes to is an ordinary middle school, maybe In the future, I will go to high school and college, so I still need to save more money at home.

The next day, Lu Ci went shopping with his aunt, while Xu Rui went to the local DMV to get a copy of the driver's rule book, and prepared to take the driver's license written test tomorrow. Of course, he also prepared the required materials.

Lu Ci's English ability is very high, both written and spoken. At least many college graduates in China who have passed CET-4 or CET-6 are not as good as Xu Rui. Many times at home, Xu Rui will take his mother to contact spoken English. In fact, it was already very good when I was in junior high school.

Xu Rui is really talented in language, while Xu Ning relies on his own diligence and hard work. The siblings are not on the same level in this regard.

Bored at home, I read the manual for a whole day. When I was preparing to cook in the evening, I heard someone knocking on the door.

"Is Xu Rui at home? I'm back from shopping."

"..." Xu Rui put the manual on the coffee table in the living room, got up and went to open the door, saw Lu Ci standing at the door with two shopping bags, Xu Rui raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, this feeling of old couple, Are you going to make trouble? Or make trouble? Or make trouble?

Behind Lu Ci was a middle-aged woman with a plain face. She knew without introduction that she was probably the servant who followed from China to find Lu Ci.

"Auntie came in, we've been shopping all day, let's have dinner at Xu Rui's house tonight, thanks for your hard work." Lu Cichong said to Xu Rui.

"It's okay." Three people, that is, three or four people are enough, it's not a problem, anyway, it's just such a meal, "Is this aunt leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, I booked a plane for auntie tomorrow morning, at 9:40, will you go with me?"

"I won't go." Xu Rui refused, "There is an exam tomorrow morning."

"Why don't I know?" He obviously got all the notices and still needs to take the exam?

"Written test for driver's license." Xu Rui looked at the dishes that Lu Ci bought back. There were all kinds of dishes, but they were all pretty good. There were no messy things. This aunt probably helped to buy them.

After eating, the two families went to rest.

The next morning, Xu Rui came with the materials needed for the written test. Of course, there is a fee to take the test. The total amount from the written test to the driver's license is much cheaper here than in China.

After entering the examination room, Xu Rui asked for an English test paper. All the written tests were multiple-choice questions, and the test results were all the content in the manual. The rule here is that the test score reaches 80%. Driver's license, you don't need a driver's license to learn to drive here. You can buy a car and learn by yourself. Of course, you must have an adult on the co-pilot when driving. He is going to call his sister's classmate Donna for help.

Back at the apartment at noon, as soon as I took out the key to open the door, I saw a head popping out from the next door.

"What do we have for lunch?" Lu Ci went back and came out with the key, and followed Xu Rui's ass into the door like a Erha.

Xu Rui thought for a while, "Do you like ramen?"

"...I like it, I like char siew ramen." Lu Ci stared.

"There's no barbecued pork, let's make some when you have time, and eat cold noodles at noon, the weather is too hot." Xu Rui looked at the big sun outside, and he couldn't escape the summer here.

Hearing this word, Lu Ci's mouth began to salivate, and he had a good meal again at noon today. His luck is really as good as the sky, he must be the one chosen by heaven, and he can come to Xu Rui's side to feast his mouth.

If Xu Rui knew about this inner activity, he would surely be able to complain about it, God damn the chosen one, a chuunibold, right?

The soup base for both sides was already prepared by Xu Rui yesterday, and it is still in the refrigerator. It can be used directly when the time comes. You only need to prepare the noodles, and you can also make fried shrimp at noon.

"How many bowls can I eat?" Xu Rui asked.

"Give me three bowls." Lu Ci boldly stretched out three fingers.

Xu Rui didn't really take it seriously. When he could eat, he only had one and a half bowls. I really didn't believe that Lu Ci could make three bowls of noodles by himself.

The cold noodles are buckwheat noodles, which are sold in the surrounding supermarkets. Of course, it seems that they are not very popular in the surrounding area of ​​Cambridge. After all, there are almost no foreign restaurants nearby, and they are all local fast food. It is obvious that these two beautiful men are If you don't like fast food, at least Xu Rui doesn't like it.

And after Lu Ci ate the food made by Xu Rui, he probably wouldn't go out to eat fast food unless he had to. Hamburgers and the like really couldn't be eaten as a meal.
