There are two main rooms. When you push the door in, you have to admit that the two houses are quite big.

They all have big windows. During this time, the sun shines in and the room is warm. Now the room is empty with nothing.

Considering that the winter here is cold, there is an earthen kang near the window.

The kang is quite big and can sleep four or five people without any problem.

There was nothing in the other room.

Xia Zhi thought about it for a while and it seems that I need to buy some things.

First, he moved his luggage over and cleaned the house thoroughly.

Xia Zhi asked Li Xuemei to help him find out where there were carpenters nearby.

I built a set of large wardrobes, plus a writing desk, bookcases, dining table and chairs, plus a set of sofas and coffee tables in the room.

The old carpenter's carpenters were all old-fashioned, and Xia Zhi drew a sketch specially for him.

Not to mention, the old carpenter was shocked, mainly because he had never seen such fashionable furniture.

There was no furniture, but Xia Zhi still moved in first. The kitchen was simply prepared with pots and pans for easy cooking. The only disadvantage was that to get water, we had to go to the well outside.

You also have to use public restrooms.

Fortunately, there is a public toilet in their alley.

Gu Zixi moved to the boys' dormitory.

We live in a dormitory with eight people to a room.

Because he is from the transportation team, his treatment will be different after he comes back. Living in the dormitory will also make him a target for others to fawn over.

Taking advantage of his rest time, he wanted to go to Taohua Village to visit his parents.

Gu Zhaolin's working hours at the chicken farm didn't match up.

I couldn't help but complain to my brother.

"Brother, I also want to see my parents."

"If you really want to go, if you can't do it, just ask the factory for a leave."

This time they didn't see their parents for almost three months.

Things are not going well at home.

"Okay, I'm going to ask for leave, but what about her? Will she go?"

Of course Gu Zixi knew who the younger brother she was talking about, so she couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head.

"That's our sister, can you respect her a little bit?"

Gu Zhaolin rubbed his head and grinned and said,

"I treat her as my sister, but she doesn't treat me as my brother. You see, she is very close to you, and she doesn't call you brother either.

Not to mention me, you don't know that she and I are incompatible."

"That's different. Xia Zhi has already called me brother, and I am Xia Zhi's legitimate eldest brother."

Gu Zixi's face was full of glory.

This time, my sister and I went to No. 1 Food Factory for training. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise, and their relationship improved rapidly.

Since the two of them dealt with Joseph with the same hatred, the younger sister has been very calm and can call her brother in private.

Gu Zixi could feel that the relationship between his sister and him was really like that of an ordinary brother and sister.

Such a huge change made Gu Zixi feel that this trip to the city was really worth it.

"What? She called you brother?

Now I know that she doesn’t like me, even though she calls you brother, I am also her second brother, why don’t you call me brother?”

Gu Zhaolin's face was slumped, as angry as a frog.

In fact, he didn't say it, but in his heart he longed for Xia Zhi to treat him like his eldest brother.

Even if you can't treat yourself 100% like your elder brother, half of yourself is already satisfied.

But when Xia Zhi saw him, he simply ignored him.

Not to mention calling me brother.

My eldest brother often went to Xia Zhi's place to make a living, and the two of them stayed there all afternoon and all night, but he never let himself go there.

Gu Zhaolin was actually full of resentment.

"You still have the nerve to tell me how you treated Xia Zhi in the beginning?

How do you make up for hurting someone's heart?"

Gu Zixi patted his brother on the shoulder and said seriously,

"People's hearts change people's hearts. Only when you treat others sincerely can you get others' sincerity in return.

My sister was heartbroken by our family, and we did ignore her at first, and Xiaohan took advantage of her.

This misunderstanding has nothing to do with the Summer Solstice.

It's because we have problems with doing things, thinking about things, and not trusting Xia Zhi enough, so we can only warm her little by little.

And you, what did you do? Are you like an older brother?"

After hearing this, Gu Zhaolin squatted on the ground with his hands on his shoulders. There were not so many chairs these days.

"Brother, I also want to be nice to her, but you have also seen her attitude towards me. Seeing me is like seeing an enemy.

Either you just ignore me, or you just turn a blind eye."

Gu Zhaolin really reflected on this, and he could feel that Xia Zhi was not a bad person.

It's not as vicious as the Summer Solstice I said.

It turned out that he got the news from Xiaohan's letters, and felt that Xia Zhi was spoiled by that family, was petty, narrow-minded, and acted selfishly.

After knowing from his elder brother that this was a misunderstanding, he had decided to get to know Xia Zhi again, but Xia Zhi now ignored him at all.

"You are an older brother and you have done something wrong. Shouldn't you apologize in person?

Xia Zhi is not a fussy person, she has a broad mind.

If you realize your mistakes and work hard to correct them, just like me, Xia Zhi won't accept me, but I can persist in your pursuit.

What's wrong with being an older brother and talking down to his younger sister?

You always play your own cards, and you can’t wait for Xia Zhi to curry favor with you. Who likes to put your hot face on someone else’s cold ass?”

Gu Zhaolin's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this. He didn't expect that such a noble brother could actually say these words.

"Brother, I really didn't expect you to have changed so much now!"

"How can it not change? We are no longer who we were before, nor are we the Gu family we were before.

There is no need to be so superior. Only by getting along with others and empathizing with others can you truly integrate into this place."

"We saw too little in the past, and I learned a lot from Xia Zhi, how to live at the bottom, and how to tear off one's own face.

Talk to people and talk to ghosts, maintain your own bottom line, have your own noble character, and at the same time enjoy this kind of life like everyone else and find fun in this kind of life."

Gu Zixi's words were not only meant for his brother, but also for himself.

It was the summer solstice that brought light to him. Otherwise, it would be really hard to imagine what kind of life he would be living in the village now.

It was also Xia Zhi who taught me how to live a smart life as a little person.

Looking back at myself at the time, I realized that I had brought on myself what happened.

Gu Zhaolin was thoughtful.

Maybe he had placed himself in the wrong position from the beginning. This was his sister. If he faced Gu Han, would he still act aloof and aloof?
