The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 9 Toss
"No waiting," he protested loudly, "it's enough for me to wash alone!"

Seeing his serious face, the maids jokingly said:
"Young master, have you forgotten that we accompanied you in the wash before?"

"You like us rubbing bubbles and massaging, haha."

"Having not been home for a year, our young master has grown a lot."

"When you grow up, get married, and be strictly controlled by your wife, we want to serve you, but we can't."

"..."

Xiaofa has only one mouth, one pair of hands and one pair of feet.The crowd laughed and teased her, their mouths were broken, and the enthusiastic maids who were still unconvinced let him go.

I had no choice but to dawdle, and was extremely reluctant to be "caught" by them into a spacious room in the backyard.

It was August, and the yard smelled of sweet-scented osmanthus, so the house was filled with a circle of warm water mist with the fragrance of flowers.

"Young master, you have to wash up quickly. The third wife told me that there are important guests coming this afternoon."

If you feel itchy, don't refuse anymore.

He is a bit of a cleanser, looking at the new white porcelain bathtub and the traditional silver-inlaid mahogany bathtub in the house, wondering which one he should choose to avoid getting sick.

He couldn't help but ask, "Has anyone else used it?"

"other people?"

A quick-handed maid hurriedly took a carved ebony water ladle, and knocked him on the head unceremoniously:

"How forgetful you are! You have only been away for half a year, and you don't remember your home? This place has always been used only by you and the young master. He likes to use porcelain, and you like wooden ones."

It sounds pretty clear.Only then did he relax, and still asked the maid to wash the tub several times before turning on the water.

After putting the water in, he asked them to stand far away, take off their clothes, and "plop" into it.

"Young master, you forgot to bring soap!"

Afraid that they would come to help at any time, he hurriedly stood up and ran to the white porcelain basin.With a red face and head lowered, he hurriedly picked up a piece of pure white soap, jumped into the mahogany tub again, and splashed a big splash.

The maids laughed so hard that they were even happier than watching a wonderful monkey show.Xiaofa was so ashamed that he only showed his head, and his whole body was covered in abundant white bubbles, fearing that if they accidentally saw it, they would come forward and make a fool of themselves.

Unexpectedly, there are more and more bubbles, covering the top of the head, and the mouth is suddenly salty and bitter.He wiped the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and he could no longer step on the barely melted soap on the soles of his feet.

Wipe away a whole bar of soap!
There is no towel in hand, so I can only call the maids to come and help.

When they saw that he was covered in white foam, they laughed even more happily, and hurriedly "fished" him out of the bucket.

"Give me the towel!"

He snatched a thick bath towel from the stack of bath towels brought by the maid, and wrapped it tightly.

"Aren't you massaging your back and legs today?"

He wiped it hastily, and shouted: "Just wipe off the bubbles, it's done!"

Another maid brought bathrobes and slippers, and finally finished the difficult bath.

Before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the maids urged him to change clothes again.

In this family, the young master is more like a servant who obeys orders.

You can't be the master of anything, and you have to leave if you are led by others.

Followed the maid to another room.

It was obvious that no one lived in the house for a long time, and no one cleaned it. The tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, and curtains were all covered with dust.

As soon as I entered the house, my nose choked.

Two maids opened the cabinet to search for clothes, and the rest turned to do other things.

He thought, no matter how bad the young master is, he is still the young master. He should have some decent summer clothes to wear, right?

He was dumbfounded by what the maid presented with both hands.

A pink and white silk robe, a pair of black trousers, and a pair of Chinese-style blue satin shoes, all looked drenched in sweat.

The clothes worn by the eldest brother are clearly Western-style shirts and trousers.

Although it is hot, at least the style looks good!
He looked at the complicated buttons and long belt, and began to feel sorry for the stars who had been filming period dramas on TV all the year round.

Clothes are not easy to look at, let alone look stylish, especially on a hot day!
He honestly asked the maids to help put it on, one from the left and one from the right.

"If this isn't time-traveling, it's fine if it's filming a drama of the Republic of China. You can rest with a click, and there are tea and lunch boxes. It's better to get box lunches than to suffer through this."

"I want to eat and drink water!"

"Go here, go here, don't worry, young master."

All the maids sent him to the restaurant.

On a huge ebony wooden table, there are dozens of dishes, large and small, many of which are expensive dishes that have only been seen in books.

Finally, looking forward to a table of sumptuous meals, almost tears filled my eyes.

There were still three vacant seats in the eight seats around the table, so he found the nearest seat and sat down.

The third aunt sat at the table, next to a pair of twin girls with big eyes, and then an older wife and elder brother.

Everyone turned a blind eye to Xiaofa.

He couldn't eat and had nothing to do for a while, so he couldn't help but wonder who the person who came to the banquet was.

Finally someone came to report: "Third wife, the guests have arrived!"

The third aunt immediately put on a warm smile and went to greet her in person.

The eldest brother and the eldest wife also followed her to the door.

He didn't want to flatter, and he didn't want to please, so he sat motionless.

The little twin sisters took the initiative to talk to him.

"Third brother, you've been away for a long time. My sister and I miss you so much."

"Third brother, it's my sister who misses you, she misses you every day, come back soon."

Looking at the pair of lovely children, he thought of the afternoon with Ah Nan.

It was just the day before yesterday, but a whole century has passed since time travel.

In his heart, she is more like a relative.

Now with a new home, it's time to face reality.

He planned to chat with the little sisters, but couldn't think of a suitable topic.

A girl was bold enough to reach out and shake his hand.

"Third brother, you have lost weight, you must have suffered a lot..."

He touched her black braid, "My good sister, I'm home, I haven't suffered."

Another girl teased him.

"Third brother, don't care about anything when you leave. I took home your high school diploma for you."

"High school graduation certificate?!"

The blood all over his body rushed to his forehead.

People have time-traveled, but the external things remain in yesterday.

The college diploma is gone, and the past books are all in vain.

Before him is the problem of whether to go to school or not.

If you don't study, it's too embarrassing to mix with society.

To study means to retrace the long road from the first year of junior high school to the third year of high school to university.

In an era when the educational environment and quality of education were not so superior, he couldn't even hold a writing brush steadily, and he hadn't even touched an abacus.

If you don't fight for your father, I'm afraid you won't have good opportunities for further education and employment.

father?Where is dad?who is he?

This question is even more dire.

The eldest brother said that his father was in the south,
The so-called "father", Mr. Gu, has not yet shown up; in the turbulent era, it is unknown how long the prosperity and wealth can be maintained.
