After leaving Professor Sun's house, Chen Hansheng drove to the port city. There was a lot of traffic along the way. Sometimes he passed by gas stations and rest areas, which were full of buses parked one after another, and the open space was densely packed with passengers going home for the New Year.
Most of the passengers were very happy, but some were very serious, and some were smoking expressionlessly. The red banners of "Happy Spring Festival" at the gas station fluttered back and forth in the cold winter wind.
Although the main theme of the Spring Festival is reunion and peace, it is actually an evaluation. Students need to show their grades, young people need to show their potential, middle-aged people need to show their careers, and the elderly just look at who lives longer.
The various aspects of life can be seen clearly when the big family reunites.
Chen Hansheng stood at the door of the women's restroom, squinting his eyes and puffing out smoke. Xiao Rongyu had just sat in the car for too long and felt uncomfortable in her chest, so she stopped for a while in the Huai'an rest area and went to wash her face to wake up.
Soon Xiao Yuer came out, with strings of water drops hanging on her fair face, dimples hanging sweetly at the corners of her mouth, and some water drops on her hair, which was crystal clear.
As soon as such a beautiful girl appeared, she quickly attracted the attention of many men, but she only saw Chen Hansheng at the door of the women's restroom, and asked curiously: "Xiao Chen, why are you standing here smoking?"
"I am a pervert, standing here can see more beauties."
Chen Hansheng smiled and put out the cigarette butt.
"Not only a pervert, but a big pervert."
Xiao Rongyu chuckled, and suddenly stretched out her hands to hold Chen Hansheng's face, her cold and wet eyes staring at Chen Hansheng: "I know you are worried about my safety, because there are too many people here, and you deliberately asked me to give the New Year's money at noon."
"Huh~"
Chen Hansheng did not admit it, and took Xiao Rongyu's hand away, but just took the opportunity to hold it tightly: "You are a little girl, you look pretty, but why are you so shameless? I just looked at the beauty, as for the 1,000 yuan, remember to return it to me, it's more than a month's living expenses."
"I won't return it."
Xiao Yuer shook her arms and acted coquettishly: "Xiao Chen, can't you tell the truth? You obviously care about me."
"No, what do you want me to admit?"
Chen Hansheng led Xiao Yuer to the parking lot.
"Yes, yes!"
Xiao Yuer insisted.
"Absolutely not, you're overthinking it, maybe you drank alcohol at noon!"
Chen Hansheng denied it three times in a row.
······
It took almost two hours to get back to Gangcheng from Huai'an Toll Station. In the middle, Chen Hansheng received another call from Wang Zibo and agreed to go to his house for dinner in the evening.
Liang Meijuan called soon after and said that she would go there after get off work.
"Are your two families having a party?"
Xiaoyuer said dissatisfiedly: "Wang Zibo didn't even invite us."
Chen Hansheng smiled: "Although Wang Zibo is full of idiots, you can't really blame him for this. First, your parents are not familiar with each other, and Aunt Lu won't attend."
Xiaoyuer didn't believe it, so she called her mother. Unexpectedly, Lu Yuqing agreed to let Xiaoyuer go for dinner, but she herself didn't attend.
"She said it would be fine to eat at home."
Xiaoyuer looked at Chen Hansheng and said.
"You know your biological mother worse than I do."
Chen Hansheng explained: "If this party was held at our house, Aunt Lu would definitely go. Zibo's parents don't have formal jobs, so Aunt Lu might not look down on them."
Xiao Yuer was a little unhappy: "You said my mother is snobbish?"
"She is too snobbish. It's just a deep-rooted sense of superiority."
Chen Hansheng shrugged: "In the previous high school parent-teacher meeting, Aunt Lu was the coldest parent in the class. Even the head teacher, Old Xu, had to curry favor with her. She only talked and communicated with my mother and a few other parents."
After saying this, Xiao Rongyu remembered that it was indeed the case, but Lu Yuqing was her biological mother, so Xiao Yuer could not feel it at all. The impression left was only nagging, caring and strict.
"Then I'll talk to her when I go back."
Xiao Rongyu felt that this was not right.
"You're crazy. Aunt Lu is 45 years old this year. Her personality has long been fixed."
Chen Hansheng didn't care: "It's enough that she treats you well. Why do you care about her attitude in front of others? Besides, Aunt Lu's contempt chain does not involve our family. Wang Zibo can do whatever he wants."
"Okay."
Xiao Rongyu said silently, but she soon had another idea: "Let's have a family gathering this year, play cards or mahjong or something."
Chen Hansheng wanted to refuse, but seeing Xiao Rongyu's expectant eyes, and his parents were also familiar with Lao Xiao and Lu Yuqing, it seemed nothing to get together. Don't give it too much meaning, just a simple family gathering.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk about it, but our family will go out to pay New Year's greetings after the third day of the Chinese New Year." Chen Hansheng said.
Seeing that Chen Hansheng agreed, Xiao Yuer was very happy: "It's the same in our family. Let's pick a time to get together on the first or second day of the junior high school."
"Oh, right."
Chen Hansheng remembered something again: "Why is there no class reunion in high school this year?"
"Yes."
Xiao Rongyu said: "Gao Jialiang contacted me, but I didn't have time, so he turned down both you and me."
"Fuck, who asked you to turn down the meeting for me?"
Chen Hansheng said with an unhappy face.
"I'm not going, why do you want to go?"
Xiao Yuer argued: "Bian Shishi said that after entering college, you should participate less in high school class reunions, otherwise it's easy to cheat."
Chen Hansheng smiled, thinking that my relationship with you is not confirmed, even if there is a situation, it is not considered cheating.
But he didn't dare to say this, don't do dangerous things on the highway.
"Forget it, if you don't want to attend, then don't attend."
Chen Hansheng sighed and said, "Nowadays, high school reunions are full of comparisons. Schools and scholarships are fine, and the positions held in college are barely understandable. There are even people who compare how many girlfriends they have changed."
Xiao Rongyu rolled his eyes: "Only you boys like to compare. We girls just talk about school gossip and entertainment news."
"I won't go this year either. Anyway, I don't have any achievements to show for myself."
Chen Hansheng shook his head and said, "But next year Rocket 101 will definitely be famous throughout the province, and I may also become famous. Don't help me refuse the class reunion at that time. In fact, I don't care whether there is a reunion or not. The main thing is that I miss my classmates..."
Xiao Rongyu looked at Chen Hansheng with contempt.
Chen Hansheng frowned: "Xiao Yu'er, what does your expression mean? It's as if I have a mentality of competing and showing off. Do you still remember the physics teacher who criticized me in high school? I will be famous next year, and I want to go to his house to sit down."
Xiao Rongyu: "······"
It was around 8 o'clock when I returned to Hong Kong City in the evening. There were obviously more people walking on the street. Children were running in front, and adults were chatting in the back. The night market and roadside stalls were bustling.
Wang Zibo was waiting at the door. This was the first time Xiao Rongyu came to his house for dinner. He wanted to express his welcome attitude, and he also had something to remind Chen Hansheng.
"Xiao Chen, when you see my mother later, don't let it slip. The matter between Huang Hui and me must be kept secret."
Wang Zibo pulled Chen Hansheng aside and reminded him seriously.
"Don't worry."
Chen Hansheng casually broke a willow branch and played with it in his hand: "Don't you trust my words?"
Wang Zibo nodded and patted Chen Hansheng on the shoulder: good brother. "
However, after entering the door, Chen Hansheng just greeted and immediately spoke loudly to Wang Zibo's mother Lu Yuzhen.
"Aunt Lu, Zibo is in love at school."
"The other party is very good at spending money. Wang Zibo also bought her a mobile phone for more than 6,000 yuan."
"That girl is not a good person. She has been in love before."
······
Wang Zibo's face changed "swish". Lu Yuzhen looked at her son seriously. Her family's financial situation was not good, but this kid actually bought a mobile phone worth more than 6,000 yuan for a girl.
Chen Hansheng picked up some things to say and handed the willow branch in his hand to Lu Yuzhen like a dog leg: "Aunt Lu, you will use this to hit later. It is thin and tough, and it feels like a critical hit with every knife."
When Wang Zibo saw Chen Hansheng betraying him, he immediately refuted: "Aunt Liang, Xiao Chen bought a car for Xiao Yuer yesterday, which cost more than 100,000 yuan and was parked at the door. "
"Hmm?"
Liang Meijuan was stunned, but when she saw Chen Hansheng's suddenly dull expression, she smiled and said to Lu Yuzhen: "When you finish using this willow branch, don't throw it away. I'll take it home and use it."
