Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

As soon as the car stopped, Li Yu seemed to wake up from a dream and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tao Huayu unbuckled his seat belt, stared at him and asked questions again and again.

Li Yu finally couldn't hold it in anymore after being asked, so he told him about the "special appointment" hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Tao Huayu said: "This is a good thing. Why are you still frowning?"

Li Yu held a cup of milk tea that was almost cold. He lowered his head and bit the straw unconsciously: "Well... the cost of living is too high... I don't want to go..."

His voice was very low and soft. Just as a water truck passed by, Tao Huayu heard a few scattered words: "What?"

Li Yu said it again.

Tao Huayu didn't understand the price level in country Y, but when he heard this amount, his intuition was outrageous. He took his mobile phone and started checking it himself, then threw the result to Li Yu and let him see it for himself.

Li Yu's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief: "Why is there such a big difference?"

Tao Huayu simply didn't know whether to laugh or be angry: "Xiaoyu, what are you doing? Use your brain that has taken the college entrance examination to think about it carefully. Even if you are writing an argumentative essay, you must look at it dialectically. Why can't you read a few more entries before drawing a conclusion?"

In fact, in the final analysis, it comes from the fear caused by inner lack of confidence.

The blow he received from Du Yunkai made him doubt his professional abilities. Porcelain is such a big brand, why did it invite him to do design? Is he up to it?

Furthermore, country Y is a strange country to him, with strange people there and a strange living environment, all of which are unknown.

Li Yu panicked when he thought of this.

Therefore, he just subconsciously wanted to find an excuse to escape, and he happened to see the "50,000" post, which hit the target.

But at the same time, he also clearly realized that this was a very rare opportunity. Once missed, it would most likely not happen again.

Therefore, his mood is tangled, contradictory, and awkward, and he probably needs external force to help him break this confusion.

Tao Huayu knew Li Yu very well.

Li Yu might not have figured out all the emotions in his heart, but Tao Huayu had made a lot of guesses.

He took the phone back and said deliberately: "I know, the boss Du Yunkai must be too harsh. Is he squeezing you too hard? I'll call your brother Qingsong now and let him talk to you. Speaking of Du Yunkai, how could he treat our Xiaoyu like this? Really, we are part-time workers, not formal contract workers..."

Seeing that he really wanted to make a call, Li Yu immediately unfastened his seat belt and went to grab the phone. He also protected the milk tea from spilling in his car: "Brother, what are you doing? I'm not telling you this to complain. Why are you like this?" ah?"

Tao Huayu stood up and knelt half on the seat with one leg. He leaned his upper body against the backrest and stretched his arms toward the back seat. He stopped Li Yu with one hand: "Don't move. I don't have to make this call. Just tell me the truth." , what exactly do you think."

Force him to clarify his thoughts.

Li Yu sat back slowly and began to bite the straw again.

Tao Huayu stayed with him patiently until he finished speaking what was in his heart.

Tao Huayu stopped talking about this topic and asked him: "Have you told your dad about this?"

Li Yu looked at him and shook his head, wondering why he asked this.

Tao Huayu stretched out his hand and almost slapped Li Yu's head, then fastened his seat belt and restarted the car: "Let's go and eat first. Have you been busy at school in the past few days?"

"No." "After dinner, go back and get your things and follow me back to Xishi."

On the same day, Tao Huayu sent Li Yu home.

The car did not drive in, but only parked at the gate of the community. Tao Huayu said: "Your dad has something that he probably hasn't told you yet. You should tell your dad about work first and see his attitude, and then you can Know how to make decisions."

The community where Li Yu's family lives is an old community, with a total of six and a half floors and no elevator. The house that Lao Li bought back then was also a second-hand house.

There are almost no security facilities in the community, and there is no access control in the unit building. The iron door facing the stairs has long been rusted, and the one on the left is open to the outside.

Li Yu used the dim light of the street lamp to step up the stairs. Every time he reached a platform, he had to stamp his feet hard before the sensor light would turn on.

The sensor lights on the third and fourth floors have been broken for a long time, and no one has come to repair them.

Every time, Li Yu used the light from the second floor to walk to the third floor, and then stamped his foot hard on the platform between the third and fourth floors. If he was lucky, the lights on the fifth floor would turn on.

But I was unlucky today, or else the sensor light on the fifth floor was broken. Li Yu was too lazy to try again, so there were windows in the stairwell. With the dim light, he walked to the door of his house holding on to the handrail of the stairs.

Knowing that his father was at home, he didn't dig into his bag to get the keys, but knocked on the door directly.

"Here we come -" Lao Li's rich voice immediately came through the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lao Li looked at Li Yu with surprise and tenderness in his eyes: "Son? Why are you back? Come in quickly, have you eaten? I happened to order takeout. When you knocked on the door, I thought the takeaway guy was here. .”

As soon as it was closed, there was another knock on the door. This time it was the real takeaway boy.

"I came back in Brother Huayu's car." Li Yu put a bag on the dining table, sat down, and hung his backpack on the back of the chair.

The TV was still on, showing the news broadcast.

Lao Li came over with the takeout, opened it, and took out two boxes of rice and three boxes of stir-fry vegetables.

There was a full sale in the store, and what he bought was two meals. He originally planned to eat one portion tonight and another portion tomorrow morning, and then go to the construction site in the morning.

"I asked him to bring you something, but I didn't expect him to bring you back by the way." Old Li was happy thinking about it and handed the disposable tableware and rice to Li Yu.

Li Yu took it and opened the bag he brought back. There were also several boxes of side dishes inside, which looked much more exquisite than the takeout ordered by Lao Li.

"Brother Huayu bought them." Li Yu opened them one by one and started eating with Lao Li.

Tao Huayu had something to do when he went back, so he didn't go out for dinner. He passed by a store on the way and packed up two dishes for Li Yu to carry back. He knew that Lao Li would definitely not cook at home alone.

Lao Li looked at the dishes and said, "He will still enjoy it."

While eating, Lao Li asked about his son's life and study situation at school, how he got along with his teachers and classmates, etc.

Li Yu answered slowly one by one.

But Lao Li felt something was wrong. Usually his son took the initiative to share these things with him, and would also choose some interesting things to tell him.

But now, he clearly felt that his son was wandering in his mind when he spoke, and he must be pretending to be something, so he asked: "Xiaoyu, has something happened to you?"
