Literary Master 1978

After a thoughtful lunch, Tao's mother Du Ruohui went to put her grandson to sleep, sister-in-law Zhao Li was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Tao Yumo went into the room to read again.

Tao Yushu took Lin Chaoyang to hang out in Langrun Garden and told him about the situation at home.

The batch of employee apartment buildings built by Yanda on the east bank of Langrun Garden are different from the common tube buildings of this era. They are not much different from the residential buildings of later generations. They are only different in unit type, but the distribution is still based on this The rules of the era.

Each unit in the apartment building is equipped with four rooms, a common kitchen and public toilets, with a total area of ​​approximately fifty square meters.

For example, even if some associate professors are allocated a house, their family must squeeze into a room of more than ten square meters and share the kitchen and bathroom with other families. However, the Tao family lives in a single unit. Father Tao is a professor in the History Department of Yanda University.

But even so, the living conditions of the Tao family are not optimistic.

There are four rooms in the house, one for Tao's father and Tao's mother, one for eldest brother Tao Yucheng and his eldest son Tao Xiwen, one for sister-in-law Zhao Li and one for youngest son Tao Xiwu, and one for sisters Tao Yushu and Tao Yumo.

Now that Lin Chaoyang is here, Tao Yumo will no longer be able to share a room with his sister, and can only go to his sister-in-law Zhao Li's room.

It was originally a double room, but it suddenly became a triple room, and there was also a little beanbag who cried at all times at night. It was strange that Tao Yumo was happy.

Of course, objectively speaking, this condition is already very good in this era. How many people live in a family of five or six people in a dormitory of more than ten square meters.

"No wonder this girl doesn't like me!"

After listening to Tao Yushu's words, Lin Chaoyang finally understood the reason why his sister-in-law disliked him.

He asked again: "What about your mother? Her opinions on me are not ordinary."

"She is a capitalist lady, and she has always looked down on farmers." Tao Yushu said dissatisfied.

"Didn't you say that your father was also from a rural background?"

"My father's family was a small landowner, and conditions were actually pretty good before liberation. Besides, that was when she was young. When she came to me, she became the person my grandfather was."

Lin Chaoyang understood that the dragon slayer eventually became the evil dragon.

"If I were as knowledgeable as your father, I guess her attitude would be much better."

Hearing what he said, Tao Yushu, who had an angry expression, smiled a little, "You are still smart. My mother is very vain. Not to mention being as knowledgeable as my father, if you have a decent job, she will definitely I will also look at you differently.”

Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but joked: "They say girls are outgoing. If you say that to your mother, aren't you afraid that she will be angry?"

"Just be angry if you're angry! She is just vain. If she were half as humble and simple as my father, she wouldn't have suffered so much. She has learned some lessons over the years and looks simple on the outside, but nothing has changed on the inside. "

Tao Yushu's tone was full of anger. After talking about family matters, she warned again: "You just came here. My mother doesn't like you and will definitely give you a slap in the face. You have to withstand the pressure." , my dad and I will support you."

Lin Chaoyang laughed. Looking at it now, not counting the two younger ones, there are six members of the Tao family. He has the support of Tao Yushu and Tao's father. His sister-in-law Zhao Li is also kind, and Tao's mother and Tao Yumo are not so hostile to him. Eye-catching.

But he also missed one person, "What about your eldest brother?"

"My eldest brother?" Tao Yushu asked with a subtle expression, "Scholar, do you know?"

"I know."

"Useless!"

Well, didn't you think before that this girl was so cruel to her own family?

Langrun Garden is separated from Yuanmingyuan by only a wall, adjacent to Chengfu Road to the east, Minghe Garden to the west, and facing Weiming Lake across Jingchun Garden to the south. The main body is a square island, surrounded by streams and lakes. There are more than 300 large and small houses, verandahs and pavilions on the island, which is grand in scale.

In midsummer, pavilions and pavilions are hidden among the dense vegetation and landscape, surrounded by Langrun Lake. The lake is covered with lotus leaves and fish are playing, creating ripples on the lake surface.

The two of them were chatting and shopping, and unknowingly they spent half the afternoon shopping.

Tao Yushu glanced at the sun and said, "Ah! It seems to be getting late. Let's go home and clean up the room first."

Tao Yushu and Lin Chaoyang were talking and walking home when they heard a voice shouting from behind.

"Jade book! Jade book!"

The two of them turned their heads and saw a gentle, middle-aged man running towards them happily. He was waving with a smile on his face as he ran, giving him a cool and unrestrained young look.

The two of them stopped and waited, only to see the middle-aged man with a conflicting temperament stumble, then finally regain his balance and walk closer to the two of them.

Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu looked at each other.

Lin Chaoyang: Is this my uncle?

Tao Yushu: Guaranteed replacement if genuine.

"Is this Chaoyang?"

Before Tao Yushu could introduce him, the eldest brother Tao Yucheng took the initiative to say hello to Lin Chaoyang. After coming to Tao's house for a few hours, his eldest brother's warm attitude made Lin Chaoyang have a very good impression of him.

After chatting for a while, Tao Yushu asked, "Why are you back so early?"

"Didn't you call at the station and say you'll be back today? There's nothing in my department, so I'm off work."

He said he was familiar with leaving work early and seemed a bit frivolous. He seemed a bit out of place in the serious and serious 1970s, but he felt very kind to Lin Chaoyang. He couldn't help but think of those who fished in troubled waters in the company before time travel. old timer.

In his previous life, he worked hard for ten years before he suddenly realized it. He thought about lying down and being a salted fish. Now that he saw his elder brother-in-law, he felt a sense of mutual appreciation just by the smell.

"Look, I bought a fish!" Tao Yucheng boasted about the fish in his hand.

Tao Yushu didn't appreciate it, but asked: "Do you have money?"

Tao Yucheng immediately showed an embarrassed expression, "Fish, a fish, how much can it be worth?"

Lin Chaoyang could see that his wife was a little steel cannon at home. She was not soft-mouthed when she confronted her mother and elder brother. It was estimated that if his sister Tao Yumo dared to yell in front of her, she would not get any good.

"Is Dad back?"

Tao Yucheng was embarrassed by his sister's nagging and couldn't help changing the subject.

"I don't know, we just went out for a walk, and it should be almost time to get off work."

The three chatted and walked back to the door of the unit in Building 12.

When they entered the house, they saw that there was one more person in the house.

Mr. Tao is over 50 years old. Because of the hardships he experienced in the past, he looks much older than his actual age, and looks like he is in his 60s. He has a broad forehead and a straight nose, which makes him look both dignified and friendly.

Tao Yushu was holding Lin Chaoyang's arm when he entered the door. When he saw Lin Chaoyang, his eyes lit up, and he stopped talking to Tao Yumo and walked towards Lin Chaoyang.

"Chaoyang!"

A pair of warm big hands reached out to Lin Chaoyang.
