Chapter 426 You Can Talk
On the other side, Zhou Zixu was looking forward to the consolation performance to arrive soon.
It was winter vacation for Lu Jianguo, and he stayed in school because he had nowhere to go. All the other students had gone home, and he was the only one left alone in the dormitory.
The person he missed the most was his sister, and then Brother Zhou. He said he would come to pick him up, did he forget?
But think about it, where can he go?
My sister works in an art troupe, and family members are not allowed to live there. The house in my hometown was burned down and it is impossible to live there.
His father died and his home was gone. He was so sad that he didn’t even know where to go.
He lay on the bed wrapped in a quilt. He was the only one in the dormitory and was too lazy to light the stove. There were many quilts in the dormitory, so he just covered himself with three quilts.
But even so, it couldn't stop the cold attack. The breath he exhaled was white, and the temperature in the room was at least below zero.
The walls were covered with white frost and the windows were covered with thick frost. It was impossible to see the scenery outside.
He turned over and his stomach growled. The money his sister had given him had long been spent. There were no students in the cafeteria except for a security guard, who he went there every day to get a free meal.
It was really unbearable to eat only one meal a day and stay in a cold room.
He tightened his belt to relieve the feeling of hunger, picked up the book and read it seriously. His sister asked him to study hard, but he didn't dare to show her his grades.
He did very poorly in the final exam and failed math, and was afraid that his sister would find out.
"Ding ding ding, Jianguo, are you here?"
The dormitory door rang and Li Jianguo sat up suddenly. Was that voice from Brother Zhou?
He happily lifted the quilt and jumped down to open the door for Brother Zhou.
"Why is this room so cold?"
Zhou Zixu came in from outside and didn't feel any heat. He frowned and looked at Lu Jianguo in front of him, who had lost a lot of weight.
How does one live in this house?
"I didn't light the fire. The coal is limited. I'm the only one in the dormitory. I can't waste it."
Li Jianguo hugged his arms, shrunk his neck, and shivered as soon as he left the bed.
"Hurry up and pack up and come home with me. I thought you didn't have a holiday!"
Zhou Zixu felt very guilty and took Lu Jianguo into the house to pack his clothes.
I don’t know how many days he hasn’t changed his clothes, he smells so bad.
He frowned. If Sihui saw her brother like this, she would be heartbroken.
"Come on, Brother Zhou will take you to take a bath, and then we'll have something delicious to eat."
"Yes, brother-in-law."
Li Jianguo was so happy that he spoke his true feelings out loud. He hoped that Brother Zhou would become his brother-in-law, who would be good to his sister and to him as well.
"Hey, you can talk."
Zhou Zixu grinned with joy after hearing this, put his arms around Li Jianguo's neck and strode out of the school.
First he took him to take a bath, and found a bath attendant to clean him up inside and out, while he was busy buying clothes for the boy.
It turned out that his body had become small. He was a bit like a bamboo and grew taller in the blink of an eye.
When Lu Jianguo finished his shower, Zhou Zixu had already appeared in front of him with a new set of sweaters, cotton-padded jacket, and pants, a whole new set of clothes inside and out.
"Jianguo, change. Your brother-in-law will take you to dinner."
Zhou Zixu automatically got into the role. Since Jianguo had already called it out, wouldn’t it be a bit inhumane for him not to admit it?
He was feeling conceited in his heart and had a constant smile on his face.
He took him to eat Mao's braised pork, which is the specialty of this restaurant. He brought Jianguo to try it today.
There were quite a few people in the restaurant, and they were all well-dressed. After all, those who could come to this restaurant were all people of status. The environment here was good, the dishes tasted authentic, and the ingredients were exquisite.
"Brother-in-law, isn't this very expensive? Why don't we go home and eat!"
