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

Xu Ning has already called Donna, who is in Cambridge, to find a house there. It’s not far from the school. Shopping around is very convenient. The rent is not too expensive. Of course, the house is a set. The apartment is decorated with European and American style.

Perhaps Donna also knew that Xu's family was not short of money, so she didn't find that kind of ordinary house, which made Xu Ning very satisfied.

As for Xu Rui's past, where he feels inappropriate, he can still find a renovation worker to change it. Moreover, Xu Rui carries a huge sum of US$120,000 to 30,000. It is easy to buy a house nearby. The holiday will definitely not be as expensive as in China.

After Xu Rui was sent away, the Xu family felt a lot quieter in an instant. At first, the grandparents were in despair at home for a few days, and they choked with tears when they received Xu Rui's call.

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

Maybe he knew that Xu Rui was also at Harvard. After Lu Ci came over, he found out about each other, and then directly spent the money to rent a house next door to Xu Rui. They happened to be both Chinese, and they could take care of each other here.

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

"You?" Knocked on the door next door, saw Xu Rui bend over to clean, and asked curiously.

Xu Rui turned sideways to let the other person in, "You, sit down first, let's go after I clean."

Today, he is going out to check the car and greet Lu Ci to go out together.

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

"Do you still cook?" After a while, the Lu family had to send him a driver. Lu Ci readily accepted, but now he has to think about it.

It's better that he is responsible for buying vegetables and let Xu Rui cook. The two of them work together. The key is that he lives with two more people besides himself. To be honest, Lu Ci doesn't like it very much.

There is a washing machine for washing clothes, and he has no problem cleaning the room. The key is that cooking leaves him at a loss.

"I know how to cook some home-cooked food." Xu Rui dumped the trash into the trash can, stretched his waist, went back to the room and turned out a set of clothes, "Wait a moment, take a shower."

Half an hour after leaving the house, two tall and handsome men with black hair and black pupils are walking on the streets of a foreign country, which is still very attractive.

I drove a car at the door and asked the driver where there are used cars for sale. The driver said a few places. After the two answered, he took them to the largest used 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 better than the Chuci science and technology of their Lu family. Why can Luci do everything?

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

The two spent most of the day outside, before they returned home after buying some vegetables and seasonings from the supermarket near the apartment.

Xu Rui saw Lu Ci also come in behind him, and 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 everything he bought into the refrigerator.

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

"We are destined to be classmates, and the manager 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, bread flour, carrots... "I don't like carrots."

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

Lu Ci’s face turned purple, "Let’s stop using carrots, it’s really not tasty, I will discuss with you, let me buy the food in the future, can you cook for the two of us? I’m waiting for my dad. Mom makes a call and asks my aunt at home to go back to China. If she doesn't want to study abroad, she has to bring a helper."

Xu Rui didn't think there was anything like this, "Okay, come and eat, I have no objection."

He didn't say that he doesn't need the other party to buy food, he must buy it, whose money is not who? Lu Ci must not be allowed to eat and drink for nothing.

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

"I advise you not to be picky eaters. Carrots are highly nutritious. Otherwise, where do you supplement carotene and vitamins A, B, C." It is strange that it is so rich in nutrition that you still dislike it.

Lu Ci shut his mouth, eating people's mouth short, if you don't eat, you can only go back.

Although the aunt is also very good at cooking, he has the idea of ​​spending the study abroad career alone, and he will definitely discuss it with Xu Rui. The days in the future will be long. Slowly wear it out. He has good patience.

It's a pity that he has good patience, but he can't match Xu Rui's temper. Finally, five years before returning from university abroad, he really became a good baby who is not picky on food.

What Xu Rui made today is cabbage donated chicken rice crackers.

Lu Ci lay here watching Xu Rui's busy life.

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

Lu Ci couldn't help but covet a little with a very good smell.

"Who did you learn from? Your exam results are much better than me, so you still have time to learn to cook?" Lu Ci really admired Xu Rui. Although his personality has always been a little ridiculous, he was really good in this test. After all my life, who knew that he was 22 points lower than Xu Rui, the difference was really a bit big.

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

"Are you not reviewing?" Lu Ci asked.

"Reviewed for a month before the exam." This is already Xu Rui's normal state. He said that it was a review, which means looking through the notes he remembered in the past. Sometimes he would buy and brush up the questions if he was diligent, although those questions were easy in Xu Rui's opinion.

Seeing Lu Ci’s astonishment, Xu Rui smiled and said, “You are also very good, don’t Diyi University have no extracurricular homework? And there are extracurricular activities in the first half of high school, but Dili High School Affiliated.”

When Lu Ci heard it, "Also, Diyi College is really good, very good. We have good schoolwork every day. We can participate in sports activities a lot of time outside of class. I like playing basketball at school, even though I was enrolled at the time. When I was a senior in high school, I also served as the president of the basketball club. Unfortunately, there were no competitions this year. However, I heard that in October this year, the younger students in the school will represent Diyi College in basketball games and the Global Youth Basketball Championships. I don’t know if I can come to the United States. I’m really looking forward to it. I heard from our basketball club’s consultant and teacher that I can definitely sign up. If there is no class, let’s check it out."

"I have a chance." Xu Rui didn't refuse. I don't know if the eldest sister will come over at that time, but the possibility is unlikely. The two little nephews in the family can't do without the eldest sister.

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

Lu Ci's first chopsticks clamped a piece of chicken rice rolls, not to mention, it is just right to eat it now, it doesn't burn your mouth, and the outer wraps are not fried too hard, you can still hear the vegetables after a bite, please reminder The chicken breast inside is marinated in advance, and the saltiness is just right. The bread flour on the surface is not particularly crispy because it is left for a period of time, but it does not affect the taste.

In short, it's delicious.

Lu Ci stuffed his mouth slowly, even picked up the spicy boiled fish, poured a la carte soup into the rice, "Xu Rui, I think it's a pity that you inherited Ningrui Real Estate, you should be a chef. Isn't it a pity that this hand is good at cooking?"

After eating a meal, Xu Rui immediately gave him a fan, and Lu Ci himself felt that he had no temper.

Xu Rui grabbed his chopsticks for a meal, and then took a bit of rice. "I can't. Compared with my sister, I just started cooking."

"..." Lu Ci wanted to die.

Is the director Xu of their family so awesome?

"We are now good friends. Go home and take me to the school manager's house as a guest?" He asked excitedly.

"Here is the winter vacation for Christmas. When we celebrate the Spring Festival at home, the school has already opened and we can't go back." Xu Rui gave the other party a bit of science, "Let's take the summer vacation next year."

Lu Ci was almost out of madness. He wanted to be independent when he went to study abroad, but he didn't expect that he would not even be able to return to the New Year.

This is a bit...it makes people want to cry.

"Have you not read the university brochure included in the admission notice? It is written very clearly." Xu Rui was a little unconfident with the student next door.

"I didn't look at it. I thought that our winter and summer vacations are the same." Lu Ci was really frustrated. He said to his parents who had been arrogant before returning to China to bring them gifts.

"We are celebrating the Chinese New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival, and people are celebrating Christmas. On the 24th and 25th of the Gregorian calendar, our domestic Spring Festival is early at the end of January and late in February. How could it be possible to go home for the Spring Festival? When my sister was studying here, she returned to China once in three years."

"Alright, I see." Lu Ci is a person who is good at self-adjustment. He is commonly known as optimistic. If he can't return, he won't return. Anyway, with Xu Rui here, he can still be late for Xu Rui's cooking every day.

I will book a ticket for my aunt tonight so that she can return home tomorrow.

The aunt who took care of him has been in the Lu family for several years. The family trusts her so much that she is allowed to go abroad to take care of her diet and daily life. However, the aunt also has two children who come out only for money. Working in the Lu family, I believe that auntie is more willing to return to China.

After dinner, he called his parents and it was three or four in the morning in China.

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

"Xiao Lu is back?" Auntie saw Lu Ci coming in, "Would you like to eat some of the food I made for you?"

Lu Ci smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, come over and I'll talk to you."

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

"I have agreed with my mother, 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 finishing junior high school. Her son is now in junior high school. To tell the truth, she was panicked if she couldn't see his son for a year and a half. Naturally, it is best to be able to return home.

"Auntie go back, what do you do here? Go out to eat every day? That's not good for your health." She still cares about Lu Ci very much. Although she is the child of her employer and the eldest master of a wealthy family, Lu Ci has never Look down on her and call auntie when she sees herself. She likes this child.

"I'm fine. I will go to the next door to have a meal. It is also from Huaxia who came to study together. The boss of our school is his sister. Don't worry about me. I just called my mother and she agreed. "

"Okay, 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 accompany you out tomorrow, and see you on the plane the day after tomorrow." Let Auntie go out alone, Lu Ci is not relieved, she can't speak a word of English at all. After she learned a few daily expressions, she learned the phrase "Hello", which is full of earthy flavor.

"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 my child to wear."

Lu Ci chuckled and said, "Auntie, you really don't have to. If you want to buy it, you can buy something we rarely see in China. Many foreign clothes are made by China and exported. It is better to buy it in China."

"Really?" the aunt asked in surprise, seeing Lu Ci nodding her head again and again, she believed it.

Then buy something else. My son is quite sensible, knowing that it’s not easy for his parents to make money, and my sister is about to find her in-law’s family. Generally, she won’t be able to compare with others. Besides, the school his son goes to is a normal middle school. If you want to go to high school and college in the future, you still have to save more money at home.

The next day, Lu Ci accompanied his aunt to buy things. Xu Rui went to the local dmv and asked for a driver’s rule book to see. He was going to take the written test of the driver’s license tomorrow. Of course, he also prepared the necessary materials.

Lu Ci's English is very good in both written and spoken English. At least many domestic college graduates who have passed grade 4 and 6 are not as good as Xu Rui said. Many times at home, Xu Rui would pull his mother to speak English. In fact, it was already very good in junior high school.

Xu Rui is really talented in language, and Xu Ning relies on his own diligence and hard work. In this regard, the two brothers and sisters are not on the same level.

Bored at home, I read the manual for a whole day, and 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 buying vegetables."

"..." Xu Rui buckled the manual on the coffee table in the living room, got up and opened the door. He saw Lu Ci standing at the door carrying two shopping bags. Xu Rui raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. Want to make trouble? Still making trouble? Still making trouble?

Behind Lu Ci was a middle-aged woman with a simple face. Without introduction, I knew that this was probably coming from China to find Lu Ci's helper.

"Auntie come in, we've been shopping for a day, let's have dinner at Xu Rui's house tonight, thank you very much," Lu Ci said to Xu Rui.

"It's okay." Three people, that is, three or four people are enough. It doesn't matter. Anyway, it's just a meal. "This aunt will leave tomorrow?"

"Yes, I booked the plane for my aunt tomorrow morning, at 9:40, will you go with me?"

"I won't go." Xu Rui refused. "There will be an exam tomorrow morning."

"Why don't I know?" Obviously I got the notice, and I still have to take an exam?

"Driver's license written test." Xu Rui looked at the dishes Lu Ci had bought. They were all pretty good, and there were no messy things. This aunt probably bought them with help.

After eating, the two families left the venue to rest.

The next morning, Xu Rui came with the materials needed for the written test. Of course, you need to pay to take the test. The total amount of the driver's license from the written test to the driver's license is much cheaper than that in China.

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

Returning to the apartment at noon, as soon as he took out the key to open the door, he saw a head popping out of the next door.

"What shall we eat at noon?" Lu Ci went back and came out carrying the key, and Erha followed Xu Rui's **** and entered the door.

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

"...Yes, I like char siu ramen." Lu Ci Xingxingyan.

"There is no char siu, so let's wait for some time to make some. Eat cold noodles at noon, the weather is too hot." Xu Rui looked at the big sun outside, and I couldn't hide from the summer here.

Hearing this vocabulary, Lu Ci's mouth began to salivate, and he had another good fortune at noon today. His luck was so great, he must be the chosen person, who can come to Xu Rui to feast on his food.

If Xu Rui knew about this mental activity, it would surely be a spit, God's god-chosen person, the second-degree patient, right?

Xu Rui made the soup base for both sides yesterday, and it is still in the refrigerator. It can be used directly at that time. You only need to prepare the noodles. You can also make fried shrimp at noon.

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

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

Xu Rui didn't really take it seriously. When he could eat it was a bowl and a half. He really didn't believe that Lu Ci could have three bowls of noodles by himself.

The cold noodles are soba noodles, which are sold in nearby supermarkets. Of course, they don’t seem to be very popular around Cambridge. After all, there are almost no foreign restaurants nearby. They are all local fast food. Obviously these two beautiful men are If you don't like fast food, at least Xu Rui doesn't like it.

And after Lu Ci had eaten Xu Rui's food, he estimated that he would not go out to eat fast food as a last resort, and hamburgers and other things would really not be eaten as a meal.
