Epiphanies of Rebirth
Chapter 58
In the early morning, the rising sun of Yan City rises from the gentle horizon in the east.
It's already getting a little cold, and the climate in the north is getting colder faster. The windows of the new house have already formed drops of water on the inside of the windows because of a night's sleep.Zhou Neng (Father Zhou) shivered and turned on the bedside lamp. The dim yellow light spilled into the night, illuminating his comfortable new house.
This is completely different from the house he has lived in in the past few decades - it is bright and spacious, and every place is stacked with money to create a comfortable taste.He still remembered the dormitory arranged by the factory in Liyun City back then, with countless dark door openings staggered on both sides of the dark and narrow corridors.Dilapidated gates, corridor walls covered with oil fumes, and kitchen utensils and sundries from every household that make the narrow corridor look even narrower.The world in the doorway has light, but it is also full of simplicity - cramped space, dilapidated furniture, and the rough concrete floor is always silted with water drops falling from the wall.
Zhou Neng stepped on the smooth wooden floor, and when he washed his face, he couldn't help but recall Li Yun's humid air.He turned off the water, was silent for a while, and came out to look at the wall calendar hanging in the living room.There is a little star who doesn't know who is printed on it, and the date below is circled with a red pen on the number of the day.
He couldn't help being a little happy, and his heart was beautiful when he started the car.My wife left for Hong Kong Island earlier because of a mechanical problem in the factory. She went there for five days and finally came back today.
As old couples, they are already used to supporting and accompanying each other. It is really not used to being separated for so few days.
The headlights of the car shined straight ahead, and the engine shuddered and roared as it worked.Zhou Neng lowered the car window, hummed a song and rested his elbow on the window frame chicly, not disliking the noise he heard at all.This is his first car, bought a few months ago.Once upon a time, he was still the ordinary worker who would silently avoid four-wheeled vehicles on the streets of Liyun.The car is exclusive to the big boss, and he never dreamed that he could own one for himself.But from the house to the car, time always changes very quickly. It seems that in the blink of an eye, he has lived a completely different life from the past.
Just turning into Sun Street, he saw the group of queues waiting in front of the store.In such a cold day, the guests had already put on their jackets, stomped their feet and chatted and chatted in place, but everyone still lined up in a neat line.Before Zhou Neng got out of the car, he heard a call of joy——
"Boss, are you coming?"
"It's a bit late today!"
"We've been waiting here for more than ten minutes."
"The lady boss hasn't come back yet?"
Zhou Neng replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, sorry for the delay, but the proprietress will be back in the afternoon!"
As he spoke, he opened the rolling gate in the store, and the guests cheered up immediately, and took out the small cloth bags they brought from home.Zhou Neng turned on the fire on the kitchen stove outside, and it would take a while for the soup to heat up, which happened to be used for other things.
The old customers aimed at the two boxes he carried from the trunk of the car, and they all said, "Give me ten bottles!!"
Zhou Neng tore open the box and took out a stack of small glass bottles from inside. The lights in the store were lit up to illuminate the huge "Begonia Bean Paste" on the label. Zhou Neng smiled and said to the regular customers in front: " Sorry, the supply is limited today, Ding Xiang said on the phone that one person can buy up to five bottles."
"Hi!" The guest was unconvinced, "I'll finish your bottle with rice."
"There's nothing you can do about it. You see, everyone is queuing up in the back. It's early in the morning. You can't let everyone return without success, right? Five bottles per person, and they're all sold out by 07:30 at the most." Seeing the unhappy face of the customer, Father Zhou paused and explained, "The main reason is that the Douban factory is not fully built yet, when the production line is mature and the supply of goods is stable, if you eat in the store, I will send you a free bottle to apologize. "
Only then did the guest leave contentedly, and the soup in the stove behind him boiled away.Handing over the sales of the sauce to the newly recruited worker in the store, he washed his hands and threw the first handful of noodles into the pot.
A new day of prosperity for Sun Street Snack Bar starts with this noodle.
******
Wang Quan and Zhou's mother went to Hong Kong Island this time, and they were invited by the production equipment company. They benefited a lot in a few days, and they had to call Lin Jingzhe every night to discuss new factory development ideas.
Mother Zhou does not intend to just make bean paste, she has a longer-term consideration.
For consumers, the name "Begonia Douban" focuses on the last two characters, and for her, the word "Begonia" is the key.
The bean paste factory is now called Haitang Food Factory, and the registered company is also called "Haitang Non-staple Food Company". Haitang is a trademark, a brand, and in her concept, there are countless suffixes.
After returning to Yanshi for the first time, within 10 minutes of seeing each other, Zhou's mother began to describe to Lin Jingzhe the set of drying equipment with precise temperature that she liked very much.A good set of drying equipment can prevent all kinds of ingredients that need to be dried to be pickled from obeying the command of the weather. The product of pickled pickles can be included in the next preparatory development project of Haitang Food Factory. See The ambition of a woman of the world burns no less than that of a man.
She even learned to drive a car, and she works outside on weekdays, and her image has taken on a new look.At this time, she was wearing the most fashionable cashmere coat on Hong Kong Island, with her delicate curly hair permed. Even though the expression between her brows and eyes was gentle, she still exuded the confidence and maturity unique to middle-aged women.
Wang Quan, who was sitting in the car, handed over the two handbags he had carried all the way to Lin Jingzhe, and Lin Jingzhe took them.
Open it, and inside are two women's cashmere coats of the same style as Zhou's mother.Wang Quan winked at him and smiled: "I called you all the way to ask me to bring you two pieces of clothes, or the styles of little girls, are you caring enough?"
Zhou's mother was driving the car, and she glanced back when she heard the words: "Did you fall in love?"
"No." Lin Jingzhe retorted subconsciously, but paused for a moment, then changed his mind after thinking about it, "Well... we talked about it."
"I knew it." Zhou's mother smiled with relief, "It's a good thing to fall in love. Auntie supports you, and the clothes are also bought for her, right? What kind of child?"
Lin Jingzhe knew that they had misunderstood, but she didn't know where to start to refute. After hesitating for a moment, she only cast her eyes away and said, "It's quite... very quiet and beautiful."
"how old are you?"
"23."
"Yo!" Mother Zhou said unexpectedly, "Is it older than you?"
Lin Jingzhe nodded, and Wang Quan said beside him: "It's better to be older, to be more stable, to take care of the family, and to take care of others."
"That's right." Zhou's mother nodded in agreement, and asked casually, "How tall is it?"
"..." Lin Jingzhe thought for a while, but decided to tell the truth, "It seems to be 1.9 meters two."
Mother Zhou: "???"
Wang Quan: "????"
The car turned a corner and stopped on the side of the road. Mother Zhou braked and turned off, turning her head and looking confused——
"What?"
Lin Jingzhe said seriously: "I measured 1.8 meters during the summer vacation!"
Listening to his earnest defense, Zhou's mother was in a trance. It was hard to imagine the scene of Lin Jingzhe walking with a 1.9-meter-tall girl.
After a while, she could only force herself not to think about this question, and abruptly changed the subject.
"Come out all afternoon tomorrow. Your Uncle Gao is going back to Li Yun to pick you up, Mr. Hu. We have to have dinner together in Yanshi."
*******
The intuitive shock brought by the height is unsolvable. Lin Jingzhe has no way to tell all the truth for the time being, so he can only leave with Zhou's mother's worried expression, carrying the bag to the south of the city courtyard.
The family banquet of the Shen family has never been interrupted every Saturday. When Lin Jingzhe came to the door, she first gave Shen Tiantian a hug when she came to open the door, and said softly, "Happy birthday to you in advance."
Shen Tiantian was caught off guard by him and hugged her. She smelled Lin Jingzhe's unique refreshing breath, and her face flushed suddenly: "Thank you."
Lin Jingzhe handed her the bag in his hand, patted her on the head, and said gently, "Gift, I hope you like it."
The gift that I get every time we meet still makes Shen Tiantian feel unspeakably shy. She doesn't know where her usual flamboyant and extroverted outside. She took the bag and ran upstairs, still wearing The goose yellow dress given by Lin Jingzhe when they first met.After running to the second floor, she stopped, and sneaked back a little, carefully peeking down under the cover of the stairs.
Lin Jingzhe took off his coat and was hanging it on the shelf while talking to Shen Juuying who was coming to the door. His expression was a little more serious than when facing Shen Tiantian, and his whole body was full of the mixture of young boys who belonged to him alone. With the breath of a mature man.This breath is so contradictory, youthful and thick, but it fits this person so well. Under the young and handsome appearance, his words and deeds are far beyond the maturity of boys of the same age.
Shen Tiantian grabbed the handle of the bag and looked around with a good eye. Shen Juanying is a strong woman, relatively not that delicate. Although she was allowed to grow up in a good and free environment since she was a child, she has never cared about the details of dressing and dressing. .The weight on her hand gave her the pleasure of being cared and pampered.
Lin Jingzhe seemed to feel the gaze above her head, and suddenly raised her head, her eyes met her, her face softened, and she raised her eyebrows to reveal a questioning expression.
Shen Tiantian almost fell, fled in a hurry, and locked herself back in the room.
She was annoyed for a long time before she pulled herself together and carefully opened the exquisite handbag.She took out the clothes inside and shook them off gently. The fine cashmere fabric made her palm feel indescribably warm when she touched it.This is the most suitable dress for this season, and the size is just right. Shen Tiantian can't wait to put the clothes on her upper body. Looking at her favorite red in the mirror, she can't help but think of the unexpectedly comfortable embrace when she entered the door.
This brother who appeared out of nowhere truly fulfilled all her fantasies about him.
Shen Tiantian got a round of applause when she went downstairs, and Shen Juanying praised loudly: "It's so beautiful!"
This praise is definitely from the heart, Shen Tiantian's whole temperament has become different because of this cashmere coat.
In the early 90s, those world-renowned super brands had not yet settled in Yan City. It was not so easy for citizens to pursue trends. Often the current fashionable styles were eliminated by the special zone a few years ago.At this time, Hong Kong Island is still at the peak of the trend. Because of the developed entertainment industry, the fashion sense is relatively keen. Shen Tiantian's cashmere coat is the most popular among the superstars in Hong Kong Island this season. Cut and crisp fabrics won't look outdated decades from now.
Shen Tiantian sat down at the table, and after a moment of silence, she mustered up the courage to whisper, "Will you come to my birthday party on Tuesday?"
The birthday party must have invited people from the same circle, Lin Jingzhe didn't want to show his face, because he just smiled when he heard the words.He picked up a chopstick dish for Shen Tiantian, and said softly, "I still have something to do, so I won't go. You and your friends have fun, and be careful."
Shen Tiantian felt a little disappointed. Lin Runsheng knew his son's scruples, and he couldn't add more guilt. Su Rong shouted: "You are so busy! So busy? Don't you have time to eat a cake?!"
What's there to worry about exposure?Those gossips have never stopped since he married Shen Juanying. Although he is a useless man, he can still protect a son!
Lin Jingzhe ignored him, but luckily there was Shen Juanying, who was knowledgeable and interesting, and the ending tone of the meal was generally quite harmonious.As the sky was getting dark, Lin Jingzhe declined the invitation to stay overnight again. Lin Jingzhe insisted on getting dressed and went out.
Shen Juuying in the room sighed, and patted her husband on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, he is also thinking about everyone."
Lin Runsheng's eyes turned red quickly: "He is only 20 years old, why can't he live a little more unscrupulously like other children?"
Shen Juuying rubbed her husband's face distressedly, but she didn't know how to persuade her.
Because even she often sighed in her heart, Lin Jingzhe's restrained emotions and life did not match his age at all.
Outside the house, Lin Jingzhe started the car, a figure suddenly appeared outside the window, and Shen Tiantian chased it out.
Shen Tiantian was wearing that pink cashmere coat, her brows were full of shyness and greenness that made him feel strange every time, her voice was also gentle and weak, almost overwhelmed by the sound of the engine: "My birthday party , are you really not coming?"
Lin Jingzhe stared at her for a while, saw the anxiety and expectation in the girl's eyes, sighed, and turned off the fire.
"Tiantian." He opened the car door and got out, standing still in front of Shen Tiantian, a whole head taller than her.He lowered his eyes and raised his hand to touch Shen Tiantian's long, soft hair: "Believe me, I'm not here for your own good."
Shen Tiantian frowned slightly, showing a puzzled look.
Lin Jingzhe stretched out a finger, tapped between her brows, and smoothed out the small creases: "During this time, although I have never shown up in public, you should have heard it at your grandfather's house. Something that will make you unhappy?"
Shen Tiantian froze for a moment, her expression became a little unnatural.Some time ago, she was surrounded by all kinds of "kind reminders", reminding him that he must be wary of the child who suddenly appeared at the stepfather's house. This must be a malicious existence that will take away everything she has now. .
Lin Jingzhe understood that she must have understood that in a family like the Shen family, the children who grew up would inevitably be more accidental than outsiders.
"I'm leaving." So without further explanation, he returned to the car, started the engine, and said goodbye to Shen Tiantian.
Shen Tiantian just stood there and watched blankly, the black car drove an arc in the yard, then passed the gate, and drove away to the end of the road alone.
She suddenly took a few steps forward, her heart full of anger and sorrow.
They only get together for one meal a week, never stay overnight, do not participate in public gatherings, and even stay outside alone during the Chinese New Year.
Lin Jingzhe did all this just because of those chattering mouths outside?
Who cares about that!
*******
Xiao Chi came home at night, and when he was washing up, he saw the big paper bag beside the bed.
His familiar brand name was printed on the paper bag, the clothes that should be put inside, and a camel-colored ribbon was tied on the outside, it looked like a gift for someone.His heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Lin Jingzhe who came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and a soft joy arose in his heart.
The temperature has dropped recently, and he felt a little thin in the leather jacket that Lin Jingzhe gave him in the morning, and he thought of buying some winter clothes for himself and Lin Jingzhe.
He stepped forward to hug Lin Jingzhe, and kissed Lin Jingzhe deeply on his wet cheek.
Lin Jingzhe glared at him, but did not avoid it, but was quietly embraced by him: "Crazy?"
Xiao Chi hugged him tenderly, only felt that the other's skin with a little moisture was as charming as a poppy, making his nose linger on it for a long time and refused to leave.Sucking on Lin Jingzhe's delicate collarbone, and licking away the water droplets in the other's sunken skin that he hadn't had time to wipe off with the tip of his tongue, he was hot from body to heart: "Shall I have dinner at home on the [-]th of next month? My sister Birthday, I've already told my family."
Lin Jingzhe's heart beat violently, he was a little flustered: "Are you really going?"
"Of course I'm going." Xiao Chi was a little puzzled by his hesitation, "Didn't you agree before?"
He caught the slightly nervous look in Lin Jingzhe's eyes, and said with relief: "My family is easy to get along with, it's okay, it's just a meal."
Lin Jingzhe was comforted and relaxed a little, yes, it was just a meal.
Xiao Chi went into the bathroom to take a shower. He dried his hair and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Seriously speaking, his worries now are actually quite nonsensical, ordinary friends come home for a meal, and normal parents are too late to be hospitable, so how could he make things difficult?But rationally understands this, Lin Jingzhe is still nervous, Xiao Chi is so relaxed, this meal may really be just a meal to the other party, but seeing the parents has a sense of ritual for Lin Jingzhe, no matter what it is Is the sense of ritual just his unique standard.
Because of this, he was a little nervous, and Xiao Chi, who had taken a bath, jumped up from behind with his little bird on his back, rubbed his wet curly hair on his face and kissed him.
Lin Jingzhe hurriedly refused: "Wait, wait, wait..."
Xiao Chi raised his head, his eyes were puzzled, and his hand had already penetrated into Lin Jingzhe's bath towel.
"Let go, let go." Lin Jingzhe was grabbed and slid twice by him, and his waist immediately trembled. He was afraid that he would forget his business, so he hurriedly kicked him away, leaned over to pick up the paper bag that had been put aside by the bed, and handed it to Xiao Chi. "Nah!"
Xiao Chi's eyes lit up immediately, but he resisted it, but the little bird turned up more and more, and pretended to be stupid on the surface: "What is this?"
"The cashmere coat, I asked Wang Quan to bring it from Hong Kong Island."
Xiao Chixin said that I like the cashmere coat the most!I love Hong Kong Island too!
He couldn't wait to untie the rope, and took out the coat inside. He was more and more satisfied with the fabric: he likes camel color the most!
He shook off the clothes and inspected the stitching carefully. The more he looked, the more he was satisfied, and he immediately wanted to put it on his body.
But when he put his arm in, he felt that it was very small. He frowned and tried a little bit, but still failed, so he raised his head suspiciously.
Lin Jingzhe stared at him dumbfounded: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Chi: "...?"
Lin Jingzhe understood what he meant, and immediately blushed, stepped forward to take off the clothes, and kicked him by the way: "Nervous! I bought it for your sister!"
Xiao Chi: "???"
Lin Jingzhe asked: "Don't you have a younger sister? Hu Shaofeng said that your younger sister usually wears plain colors like black and white..."
Xiao Chi: "..."
After Lin Jingzhe confirmed that the sleeves were not stretched, she quickly folded the clothes and stuffed them into the bag.While stuffing it, I also wanted to explain that I just bought this clothes by the way, and I didn't really want to buy it for anyone.
But he didn't have a chance to say that.
Xiao Chi, who was lying next to him and kicked over, did not move for a while, suddenly flew up, and held him down with his upturned chicken expressionlessly.

When Hu Yu arrived in Yanshi, Zhou's father personally drove to pick him up. For this reason, the small shop on Sun Street deliberately closed for a day, in exchange for the wailing of countless regular customers.
But making money is far less important than feelings.Father Zhou stood in the distance, looking at Hu Yu who threw himself into Gao Sheng's arms and wept when he saw the crowd at the pick-up gate, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he and his wife had just arrived in Yanshi.
Originally, it was possible to go back during the summer vacation, but because of the promotion work of Extraordinary Technology this summer, Gao Sheng had no time to leave Yan City.Therefore, with all his plans, Hu Yu has not been able to see his son for more than half a year.
This thin woman is still a bit stooped as usual. Gao Sheng and Gao's father have been sending money home, but she is still wearing the plain cotton coat that is almost washed and faded. The matching shirt inside is her best one. Still unspeakably rustic.Gao Sheng has seen more of the world now, and he is no longer the careless child he was at the beginning. He put on a light down jacket for his mother with distress, and wrapped her shivering body in the colder weather in Yan City than Li Yun .
Hu Yu didn't dare to recognize Zhou's mother when she saw her!The beautiful woman in front of her with foreign-style lipstick and trendy curly hair is that simple old friend she is familiar with?
Mother Zhou leaned on the car and waved to her. The bright red nail polish made her rough hands that had worked so hard all her life much more refined: "Hi!"
Hu Yu was surprised and anxious at the same time. She held Zhou's mother's hand in the car and carefully stroked the other's nails. She couldn't help but feel ashamed: "It's so beautiful..."
"What's the matter!" Zhou's mother's voice was clearer than a few years ago, "I still have green and blue ones. When I get home, I will paint them for you."
Hu Yu was a little embarrassed, but the changes in her acquaintances were too great. Even her husband and son were very different from what they used to be in Liyun City.Gao Sheng's brows were condensed with a mature temperament. He took over Zhou's father's driving, and even answered a phone call on the way, and arranged work for the person on the other end of the phone with a serious tone.
Hu Yu leaned towards Lin Jingzhe, who looked the most gentle and easy to get along with in the car. Lin Jingzhe hugged her and explained: "Gao Sheng has a job now, and he will start a company soon to be the boss."
Hu Yu's heart was beating excitedly, and the eyes he looked at his son were unbelievable, but at the same time full of relief.
Gao Sheng hung up the phone, turned back and pinched Lin Jingzhe's face, and stared at him with some embarrassment: "What are you talking about, didn't you allocate the funds for my interest group? In the future, you will be the boss of the advertising company, say This is intended to embarrass me."
He said to his mother again: "Mom, don't be fooled by him, this kid is much better than me now!"
Hu Yu didn't have this concept at all, but turned around and looked at Lin Jingzhe in astonishment.
Lin Jingzhe smiled and hugged her and patted her: "Don't talk about this, Mr. Hu, let's go to your new home first."
Gao's father bought the house in September. It is located in the south of the city. It is a relatively good real estate.Hu Yu's teacher in Qunnan had never been out of the province in his life, and it was the first time he saw such a high-rise residential building, and his legs trembled a little when he took the elevator.This real estate is not as high-end as last week's Haitang's, but the facilities are also very good. The most rare thing is that the orientation and lighting are good, so it is slightly more expensive than the market price, and it has been sold in short supply since the opening.Gao's father didn't consider this place at first, because he didn't have enough money, but after comprehensively reviewing the various real estate properties, Lin Jingzhe and Gao Sheng insisted that he choose this place.
Lin Jingzhe originally wanted to sponsor some money, but Gao Sheng refused. He persuaded his father to go to the bank to borrow the missing house money.
It is very rare to carry a mortgage these days. Chinese people are generally pragmatic and believe in how much money you can do.In the eyes of many people, loans are actually borrowing money from banks. Therefore, it was not easy to promote the early loan business in the private sector. In order to expand the market, banks have taken many measures, even without interest.
But even so, it was still difficult to develop in the early days. Ordinary people like Father Gao would rather borrow all their relatives, and never included this as an option.
Gao Sheng was also like this at first, but after starting an interest group, he took many courses related to economics in order to manage, and his concept has changed drastically.
In the end, Gao's father was unable to win over his son. This is due to Gao Sheng's citation of scriptures and his understanding of the reason, but the more important reason is that this house is really in line with his wishes.
Small high-rise, [-]th floor, set on the east side, transparent and square from north to south.
The spacious balcony in the living room made the tone of the whole room full of light. This large suite with a total area of more than 180 square meters is definitely not comparable to the staff dormitory in Liyun No. [-] Middle School.
Hu Yugang was too scared to approach the balcony at first, but when he slowly mustered up the courage to approach, he was immediately intoxicated by the spacious view.
so good……
she said in her heart.
To be able to live in such a nice house in my lifetime.
The dinner was served at a restaurant downstairs. From the past, it was an extremely extravagant expectation to go to a restaurant, but now you can easily order ten dishes. Hu Yu's usual timid and restrained face is also filled with a joyful smile.This trip to Yan City was beyond her expectations, everything she saw and felt was completely different from what she had originally imagined.
From Father Gao's narration, Lin Jingzhe knew that Hu Yu had already been dragged to resign when he came out this trip.The resignation of this excellent teacher surprised the principal of No. [-] Middle School, and even alarmed the leaders of the Liyun City Party Committee.Du Kang personally called the No. [-] Middle School to inquire, and confirmed that Hu Yu had no dispute with the school and just left the city, so he nodded and agreed to the school's release.
Hu Yu smiled softly, just as she was full of patience and tolerance when facing the students: "The current No. [-] Middle School is much better than when Principal Tao was in office, and there are more students. Even the fifth class of each grade The atmosphere has also improved a lot, all thanks to your leadership."
The legend that Lin Jingzhe's Class [-] in that class had a province-wide success is still circulating in the topics of many high school parents in Li Yun.
Father Gao drank a glass of wine, his simple and honest face was black and red, because he was a little excited to see his long-lost wife: "That English teacher Li Yurong..."
"Tsk!" Hu Yu interrupted him with a slight frown, "What are you talking about?"
"Why can't you say it? I want to say it! She bullied you for so many years and now the villain will be rewarded, why can't I say it?" Father Gao said angrily, "I only found out when I had dinner with Fengshou that Teacher Li is not a bad person. Said, destroying other people’s families! Now the wife of the resigned Principal Tao is making trouble for her every day, it’s true that evil people have their own troubles!"
Hu Yu sighed: "She is also quite pitiful. Principal Tao's wife is really too much, and the methods she uses are very insulting..."
Lin Jingzhe knew that she was kind-hearted and might not be happy because of the downfall of the enemy, so she immediately changed the topic: "Don't talk about them, Mr. Hu, what do you plan to do after you arrive in Yanshi? Retire early or continue to work?"
Hu Yu looked aside hesitantly when he heard this.
Father Gao said enthusiastically: "What is the job? Being a teacher is tiring and irritating, and you don't have any money to make. Just stay at home, I'll take care of you!"
Hu Yu smiled softly in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were a little forced.
Lin Jingzhe immediately caught it keenly, and asked, "Mr. Hu, what do you think?"
"I... me?"
Hu Yu glanced at her husband, then at her son, and the eyes of everyone at the table surrounded her.
Concerned about her husband's opinion, it seemed difficult for her to speak up, but after a while, under Lin Jingzhe's encouraging gaze, she mustered up the courage to speak out: "I...I still want to continue teaching."
Father Gao was taken aback, and his expression immediately became unhappy: "What's the matter with you? You know how to ask for trouble all day long, what's the point of teaching those children? Why don't you just do housework and tidy up at home..."
Hu Yu softly refuted him: "It's not interesting, education is a very meaningful thing, I like to stay with students."
Gao's father kept his face sullen and did not speak. After a long while, he snorted: "Woman..."
"Hey! Be careful what you say!" Zhou's mother on the side stopped doing it as soon as she was obedient, and complained, "What's wrong with women? Women can't have their own careers?"
Zhou's father was also a machismo a few years ago, but now he just coaxed his wife in a gentle voice: "Oh, I didn't tell you why you are angry..."
Mother Zhou waved away her husband and Si Ni's hands, and said to Hu Yu: "Mr. Hu, don't worry, I will find a way to let you enter the school. You can choose any high school in Yan City, and I support you!"
Although the two parties are partners, to be honest, Zhou's mother is more like a proprietress, so Gao's father is not good at confrontation, so he just shut up angrily.
Hu Yu was like a pool of warm water: "I won't go to high school anymore. I don't have enough aptitude, and I've stayed in Li Yun for so many years. I'm sure I won't be able to keep up in Yan City. Just go to elementary school."
Lin Jingzhe said at the right time: "Mr. Hu, it may not be easy for you to adapt to the education rhythm of Yan City so quickly. Anyway, you have resigned now, I think it's better to leave production and go to graduate school? Take education."
"Ah?" Hu Yu had never thought about this, "At my age..."
"Anyway, there are no hard and fast rules. As long as the exam can be passed, the tutor can always discuss it." Lin Jingzhe said, "Learning more things will help the students in the future, won't it?"
Hu Yu's whole heart swayed, this was her longing for a long time.
Gao Sheng has always supported Lin Jingzhe's suggestions unconditionally, and immediately booed: "Go! Go! Mom, if you take the postgraduate entrance examination, I will follow suit in the future!"
Father Gao stared at his son helplessly: "What are you doing!"
In the warm atmosphere, Hu Yu felt unprecedented power.She met Shang Lin Jingzhe's shining eyes, and then looked back at Father Gao's helpless expression.
Hu Yu put down his chopsticks and nodded firmly: "Okay!"
*******
On Tuesday evening, in a villa in Yan City, Shen Tiantian's birthday party was held as scheduled.
The house was full of guests and the traffic flowed like weaving. She stood at the gate in her pink cashmere coat to meet the guests in person.
All the people who arrived were classmates and friends who grew up in the compound. Her outfit today was very eye-catching and she received countless compliments.Many girls who had a good time even secretly pulled her aside and asked her where she bought this trendy cashmere coat.
Shen Tiantian was very proud: "My brother gave it to me, I don't know where I bought it from."
The female students immediately became envious: "It's nice to have a brother..."
A black car stopped at the gate. Seeing the driver's appearance, Shen Tiantian hurriedly left the chatterers and ran towards the gate.
A camel came out of the car, followed by that familiar cold face.Xiao Miao wore a high ponytail, and her indifferent gaze swept around the scene. She gathered up the jacket that was deliberately arranged in a very stylish way, and walked towards the door carelessly.
"Miaomiao!" She grew up in the same compound since she was a child. Although she is not that close, she is still an old acquaintance.Shen Tiantian called her nickname and ran towards her. Just as she was about to say something, she was taken aback when she saw the shape of her coat.
Xiao Miao also paused for a moment when she saw the other party's clothes with her non-warm eyes.
Shen Tiantian compared them in surprise: "Same style! Where did you buy it?"
Xiao Miao didn't want to recall, Xiao Chi threw this dress into her arms with the bag directly before going out, and it hurt her chest so badly, she just said that it was given to her by her future sister-in-law, and she didn't know why her face smelled like shit when she was talking .Xiao Miao really wanted to hit him, but it was a pity that Xiao Chi dropped his clothes and ran away, his action was really quick.
But this dress is really beautiful!Xiao Miao liked it so much, she put it on when she went out.
This sister-in-law really knows how to behave, so she has a good impression, at least much better than the trash brother at home.
There were all kinds of thoughts in her heart, but her tone was so calm that no waves could be heard: "What a coincidence. But I don't know where I bought it. This dress was given by my sister-in-law. What about you?"
Shen Tiantian showed a sweet smile: "My brother gave it to me!"
"Your brother?" Xiao Miao recalled for a while and remembered the intricate relationship of the Shen family, but she didn't expect Shen Tiantian to get along very well with that reorganized brother.A brother who would choose clothes specially for his younger sister, which made her a little bit unexpected and envious: "Your brother is really nice."
"That's it!" After standing at the door for a long time, Shen Tiantian stretched out her hand to take Xiao Miao's arm in embarrassment, and pulled towards the room, "But your sister-in-law is also good, and I hope to have such a good sister-in-law in the future. "
Xiao Miao smiled lightly.She still wants to have a brother as good as Shen Tiantian, where can she find her?
It's already getting a little cold, and the climate in the north is getting colder faster. The windows of the new house have already formed drops of water on the inside of the windows because of a night's sleep.Zhou Neng (Father Zhou) shivered and turned on the bedside lamp. The dim yellow light spilled into the night, illuminating his comfortable new house.
This is completely different from the house he has lived in in the past few decades - it is bright and spacious, and every place is stacked with money to create a comfortable taste.He still remembered the dormitory arranged by the factory in Liyun City back then, with countless dark door openings staggered on both sides of the dark and narrow corridors.Dilapidated gates, corridor walls covered with oil fumes, and kitchen utensils and sundries from every household that make the narrow corridor look even narrower.The world in the doorway has light, but it is also full of simplicity - cramped space, dilapidated furniture, and the rough concrete floor is always silted with water drops falling from the wall.
Zhou Neng stepped on the smooth wooden floor, and when he washed his face, he couldn't help but recall Li Yun's humid air.He turned off the water, was silent for a while, and came out to look at the wall calendar hanging in the living room.There is a little star who doesn't know who is printed on it, and the date below is circled with a red pen on the number of the day.
He couldn't help being a little happy, and his heart was beautiful when he started the car.My wife left for Hong Kong Island earlier because of a mechanical problem in the factory. She went there for five days and finally came back today.
As old couples, they are already used to supporting and accompanying each other. It is really not used to being separated for so few days.
The headlights of the car shined straight ahead, and the engine shuddered and roared as it worked.Zhou Neng lowered the car window, hummed a song and rested his elbow on the window frame chicly, not disliking the noise he heard at all.This is his first car, bought a few months ago.Once upon a time, he was still the ordinary worker who would silently avoid four-wheeled vehicles on the streets of Liyun.The car is exclusive to the big boss, and he never dreamed that he could own one for himself.But from the house to the car, time always changes very quickly. It seems that in the blink of an eye, he has lived a completely different life from the past.
Just turning into Sun Street, he saw the group of queues waiting in front of the store.In such a cold day, the guests had already put on their jackets, stomped their feet and chatted and chatted in place, but everyone still lined up in a neat line.Before Zhou Neng got out of the car, he heard a call of joy——
"Boss, are you coming?"
"It's a bit late today!"
"We've been waiting here for more than ten minutes."
"The lady boss hasn't come back yet?"
Zhou Neng replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, sorry for the delay, but the proprietress will be back in the afternoon!"
As he spoke, he opened the rolling gate in the store, and the guests cheered up immediately, and took out the small cloth bags they brought from home.Zhou Neng turned on the fire on the kitchen stove outside, and it would take a while for the soup to heat up, which happened to be used for other things.
The old customers aimed at the two boxes he carried from the trunk of the car, and they all said, "Give me ten bottles!!"
Zhou Neng tore open the box and took out a stack of small glass bottles from inside. The lights in the store were lit up to illuminate the huge "Begonia Bean Paste" on the label. Zhou Neng smiled and said to the regular customers in front: " Sorry, the supply is limited today, Ding Xiang said on the phone that one person can buy up to five bottles."
"Hi!" The guest was unconvinced, "I'll finish your bottle with rice."
"There's nothing you can do about it. You see, everyone is queuing up in the back. It's early in the morning. You can't let everyone return without success, right? Five bottles per person, and they're all sold out by 07:30 at the most." Seeing the unhappy face of the customer, Father Zhou paused and explained, "The main reason is that the Douban factory is not fully built yet, when the production line is mature and the supply of goods is stable, if you eat in the store, I will send you a free bottle to apologize. "
Only then did the guest leave contentedly, and the soup in the stove behind him boiled away.Handing over the sales of the sauce to the newly recruited worker in the store, he washed his hands and threw the first handful of noodles into the pot.
A new day of prosperity for Sun Street Snack Bar starts with this noodle.
******
Wang Quan and Zhou's mother went to Hong Kong Island this time, and they were invited by the production equipment company. They benefited a lot in a few days, and they had to call Lin Jingzhe every night to discuss new factory development ideas.
Mother Zhou does not intend to just make bean paste, she has a longer-term consideration.
For consumers, the name "Begonia Douban" focuses on the last two characters, and for her, the word "Begonia" is the key.
The bean paste factory is now called Haitang Food Factory, and the registered company is also called "Haitang Non-staple Food Company". Haitang is a trademark, a brand, and in her concept, there are countless suffixes.
After returning to Yanshi for the first time, within 10 minutes of seeing each other, Zhou's mother began to describe to Lin Jingzhe the set of drying equipment with precise temperature that she liked very much.A good set of drying equipment can prevent all kinds of ingredients that need to be dried to be pickled from obeying the command of the weather. The product of pickled pickles can be included in the next preparatory development project of Haitang Food Factory. See The ambition of a woman of the world burns no less than that of a man.
She even learned to drive a car, and she works outside on weekdays, and her image has taken on a new look.At this time, she was wearing the most fashionable cashmere coat on Hong Kong Island, with her delicate curly hair permed. Even though the expression between her brows and eyes was gentle, she still exuded the confidence and maturity unique to middle-aged women.
Wang Quan, who was sitting in the car, handed over the two handbags he had carried all the way to Lin Jingzhe, and Lin Jingzhe took them.
Open it, and inside are two women's cashmere coats of the same style as Zhou's mother.Wang Quan winked at him and smiled: "I called you all the way to ask me to bring you two pieces of clothes, or the styles of little girls, are you caring enough?"
Zhou's mother was driving the car, and she glanced back when she heard the words: "Did you fall in love?"
"No." Lin Jingzhe retorted subconsciously, but paused for a moment, then changed his mind after thinking about it, "Well... we talked about it."
"I knew it." Zhou's mother smiled with relief, "It's a good thing to fall in love. Auntie supports you, and the clothes are also bought for her, right? What kind of child?"
Lin Jingzhe knew that they had misunderstood, but she didn't know where to start to refute. After hesitating for a moment, she only cast her eyes away and said, "It's quite... very quiet and beautiful."
"how old are you?"
"23."
"Yo!" Mother Zhou said unexpectedly, "Is it older than you?"
Lin Jingzhe nodded, and Wang Quan said beside him: "It's better to be older, to be more stable, to take care of the family, and to take care of others."
"That's right." Zhou's mother nodded in agreement, and asked casually, "How tall is it?"
"..." Lin Jingzhe thought for a while, but decided to tell the truth, "It seems to be 1.9 meters two."
Mother Zhou: "???"
Wang Quan: "????"
The car turned a corner and stopped on the side of the road. Mother Zhou braked and turned off, turning her head and looking confused——
"What?"
Lin Jingzhe said seriously: "I measured 1.8 meters during the summer vacation!"
Listening to his earnest defense, Zhou's mother was in a trance. It was hard to imagine the scene of Lin Jingzhe walking with a 1.9-meter-tall girl.
After a while, she could only force herself not to think about this question, and abruptly changed the subject.
"Come out all afternoon tomorrow. Your Uncle Gao is going back to Li Yun to pick you up, Mr. Hu. We have to have dinner together in Yanshi."
*******
The intuitive shock brought by the height is unsolvable. Lin Jingzhe has no way to tell all the truth for the time being, so he can only leave with Zhou's mother's worried expression, carrying the bag to the south of the city courtyard.
The family banquet of the Shen family has never been interrupted every Saturday. When Lin Jingzhe came to the door, she first gave Shen Tiantian a hug when she came to open the door, and said softly, "Happy birthday to you in advance."
Shen Tiantian was caught off guard by him and hugged her. She smelled Lin Jingzhe's unique refreshing breath, and her face flushed suddenly: "Thank you."
Lin Jingzhe handed her the bag in his hand, patted her on the head, and said gently, "Gift, I hope you like it."
The gift that I get every time we meet still makes Shen Tiantian feel unspeakably shy. She doesn't know where her usual flamboyant and extroverted outside. She took the bag and ran upstairs, still wearing The goose yellow dress given by Lin Jingzhe when they first met.After running to the second floor, she stopped, and sneaked back a little, carefully peeking down under the cover of the stairs.
Lin Jingzhe took off his coat and was hanging it on the shelf while talking to Shen Juuying who was coming to the door. His expression was a little more serious than when facing Shen Tiantian, and his whole body was full of the mixture of young boys who belonged to him alone. With the breath of a mature man.This breath is so contradictory, youthful and thick, but it fits this person so well. Under the young and handsome appearance, his words and deeds are far beyond the maturity of boys of the same age.
Shen Tiantian grabbed the handle of the bag and looked around with a good eye. Shen Juanying is a strong woman, relatively not that delicate. Although she was allowed to grow up in a good and free environment since she was a child, she has never cared about the details of dressing and dressing. .The weight on her hand gave her the pleasure of being cared and pampered.
Lin Jingzhe seemed to feel the gaze above her head, and suddenly raised her head, her eyes met her, her face softened, and she raised her eyebrows to reveal a questioning expression.
Shen Tiantian almost fell, fled in a hurry, and locked herself back in the room.
She was annoyed for a long time before she pulled herself together and carefully opened the exquisite handbag.She took out the clothes inside and shook them off gently. The fine cashmere fabric made her palm feel indescribably warm when she touched it.This is the most suitable dress for this season, and the size is just right. Shen Tiantian can't wait to put the clothes on her upper body. Looking at her favorite red in the mirror, she can't help but think of the unexpectedly comfortable embrace when she entered the door.
This brother who appeared out of nowhere truly fulfilled all her fantasies about him.
Shen Tiantian got a round of applause when she went downstairs, and Shen Juanying praised loudly: "It's so beautiful!"
This praise is definitely from the heart, Shen Tiantian's whole temperament has become different because of this cashmere coat.
In the early 90s, those world-renowned super brands had not yet settled in Yan City. It was not so easy for citizens to pursue trends. Often the current fashionable styles were eliminated by the special zone a few years ago.At this time, Hong Kong Island is still at the peak of the trend. Because of the developed entertainment industry, the fashion sense is relatively keen. Shen Tiantian's cashmere coat is the most popular among the superstars in Hong Kong Island this season. Cut and crisp fabrics won't look outdated decades from now.
Shen Tiantian sat down at the table, and after a moment of silence, she mustered up the courage to whisper, "Will you come to my birthday party on Tuesday?"
The birthday party must have invited people from the same circle, Lin Jingzhe didn't want to show his face, because he just smiled when he heard the words.He picked up a chopstick dish for Shen Tiantian, and said softly, "I still have something to do, so I won't go. You and your friends have fun, and be careful."
Shen Tiantian felt a little disappointed. Lin Runsheng knew his son's scruples, and he couldn't add more guilt. Su Rong shouted: "You are so busy! So busy? Don't you have time to eat a cake?!"
What's there to worry about exposure?Those gossips have never stopped since he married Shen Juanying. Although he is a useless man, he can still protect a son!
Lin Jingzhe ignored him, but luckily there was Shen Juanying, who was knowledgeable and interesting, and the ending tone of the meal was generally quite harmonious.As the sky was getting dark, Lin Jingzhe declined the invitation to stay overnight again. Lin Jingzhe insisted on getting dressed and went out.
Shen Juuying in the room sighed, and patted her husband on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, he is also thinking about everyone."
Lin Runsheng's eyes turned red quickly: "He is only 20 years old, why can't he live a little more unscrupulously like other children?"
Shen Juuying rubbed her husband's face distressedly, but she didn't know how to persuade her.
Because even she often sighed in her heart, Lin Jingzhe's restrained emotions and life did not match his age at all.
Outside the house, Lin Jingzhe started the car, a figure suddenly appeared outside the window, and Shen Tiantian chased it out.
Shen Tiantian was wearing that pink cashmere coat, her brows were full of shyness and greenness that made him feel strange every time, her voice was also gentle and weak, almost overwhelmed by the sound of the engine: "My birthday party , are you really not coming?"
Lin Jingzhe stared at her for a while, saw the anxiety and expectation in the girl's eyes, sighed, and turned off the fire.
"Tiantian." He opened the car door and got out, standing still in front of Shen Tiantian, a whole head taller than her.He lowered his eyes and raised his hand to touch Shen Tiantian's long, soft hair: "Believe me, I'm not here for your own good."
Shen Tiantian frowned slightly, showing a puzzled look.
Lin Jingzhe stretched out a finger, tapped between her brows, and smoothed out the small creases: "During this time, although I have never shown up in public, you should have heard it at your grandfather's house. Something that will make you unhappy?"
Shen Tiantian froze for a moment, her expression became a little unnatural.Some time ago, she was surrounded by all kinds of "kind reminders", reminding him that he must be wary of the child who suddenly appeared at the stepfather's house. This must be a malicious existence that will take away everything she has now. .
Lin Jingzhe understood that she must have understood that in a family like the Shen family, the children who grew up would inevitably be more accidental than outsiders.
"I'm leaving." So without further explanation, he returned to the car, started the engine, and said goodbye to Shen Tiantian.
Shen Tiantian just stood there and watched blankly, the black car drove an arc in the yard, then passed the gate, and drove away to the end of the road alone.
She suddenly took a few steps forward, her heart full of anger and sorrow.
They only get together for one meal a week, never stay overnight, do not participate in public gatherings, and even stay outside alone during the Chinese New Year.
Lin Jingzhe did all this just because of those chattering mouths outside?
Who cares about that!
*******
Xiao Chi came home at night, and when he was washing up, he saw the big paper bag beside the bed.
His familiar brand name was printed on the paper bag, the clothes that should be put inside, and a camel-colored ribbon was tied on the outside, it looked like a gift for someone.His heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Lin Jingzhe who came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and a soft joy arose in his heart.
The temperature has dropped recently, and he felt a little thin in the leather jacket that Lin Jingzhe gave him in the morning, and he thought of buying some winter clothes for himself and Lin Jingzhe.
He stepped forward to hug Lin Jingzhe, and kissed Lin Jingzhe deeply on his wet cheek.
Lin Jingzhe glared at him, but did not avoid it, but was quietly embraced by him: "Crazy?"
Xiao Chi hugged him tenderly, only felt that the other's skin with a little moisture was as charming as a poppy, making his nose linger on it for a long time and refused to leave.Sucking on Lin Jingzhe's delicate collarbone, and licking away the water droplets in the other's sunken skin that he hadn't had time to wipe off with the tip of his tongue, he was hot from body to heart: "Shall I have dinner at home on the [-]th of next month? My sister Birthday, I've already told my family."
Lin Jingzhe's heart beat violently, he was a little flustered: "Are you really going?"
"Of course I'm going." Xiao Chi was a little puzzled by his hesitation, "Didn't you agree before?"
He caught the slightly nervous look in Lin Jingzhe's eyes, and said with relief: "My family is easy to get along with, it's okay, it's just a meal."
Lin Jingzhe was comforted and relaxed a little, yes, it was just a meal.
Xiao Chi went into the bathroom to take a shower. He dried his hair and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Seriously speaking, his worries now are actually quite nonsensical, ordinary friends come home for a meal, and normal parents are too late to be hospitable, so how could he make things difficult?But rationally understands this, Lin Jingzhe is still nervous, Xiao Chi is so relaxed, this meal may really be just a meal to the other party, but seeing the parents has a sense of ritual for Lin Jingzhe, no matter what it is Is the sense of ritual just his unique standard.
Because of this, he was a little nervous, and Xiao Chi, who had taken a bath, jumped up from behind with his little bird on his back, rubbed his wet curly hair on his face and kissed him.
Lin Jingzhe hurriedly refused: "Wait, wait, wait..."
Xiao Chi raised his head, his eyes were puzzled, and his hand had already penetrated into Lin Jingzhe's bath towel.
"Let go, let go." Lin Jingzhe was grabbed and slid twice by him, and his waist immediately trembled. He was afraid that he would forget his business, so he hurriedly kicked him away, leaned over to pick up the paper bag that had been put aside by the bed, and handed it to Xiao Chi. "Nah!"
Xiao Chi's eyes lit up immediately, but he resisted it, but the little bird turned up more and more, and pretended to be stupid on the surface: "What is this?"
"The cashmere coat, I asked Wang Quan to bring it from Hong Kong Island."
Xiao Chixin said that I like the cashmere coat the most!I love Hong Kong Island too!
He couldn't wait to untie the rope, and took out the coat inside. He was more and more satisfied with the fabric: he likes camel color the most!
He shook off the clothes and inspected the stitching carefully. The more he looked, the more he was satisfied, and he immediately wanted to put it on his body.
But when he put his arm in, he felt that it was very small. He frowned and tried a little bit, but still failed, so he raised his head suspiciously.
Lin Jingzhe stared at him dumbfounded: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Chi: "...?"
Lin Jingzhe understood what he meant, and immediately blushed, stepped forward to take off the clothes, and kicked him by the way: "Nervous! I bought it for your sister!"
Xiao Chi: "???"
Lin Jingzhe asked: "Don't you have a younger sister? Hu Shaofeng said that your younger sister usually wears plain colors like black and white..."
Xiao Chi: "..."
After Lin Jingzhe confirmed that the sleeves were not stretched, she quickly folded the clothes and stuffed them into the bag.While stuffing it, I also wanted to explain that I just bought this clothes by the way, and I didn't really want to buy it for anyone.
But he didn't have a chance to say that.
Xiao Chi, who was lying next to him and kicked over, did not move for a while, suddenly flew up, and held him down with his upturned chicken expressionlessly.
******
When Hu Yu arrived in Yanshi, Zhou's father personally drove to pick him up. For this reason, the small shop on Sun Street deliberately closed for a day, in exchange for the wailing of countless regular customers.
But making money is far less important than feelings.Father Zhou stood in the distance, looking at Hu Yu who threw himself into Gao Sheng's arms and wept when he saw the crowd at the pick-up gate, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he and his wife had just arrived in Yanshi.
Originally, it was possible to go back during the summer vacation, but because of the promotion work of Extraordinary Technology this summer, Gao Sheng had no time to leave Yan City.Therefore, with all his plans, Hu Yu has not been able to see his son for more than half a year.
This thin woman is still a bit stooped as usual. Gao Sheng and Gao's father have been sending money home, but she is still wearing the plain cotton coat that is almost washed and faded. The matching shirt inside is her best one. Still unspeakably rustic.Gao Sheng has seen more of the world now, and he is no longer the careless child he was at the beginning. He put on a light down jacket for his mother with distress, and wrapped her shivering body in the colder weather in Yan City than Li Yun .
Hu Yu didn't dare to recognize Zhou's mother when she saw her!The beautiful woman in front of her with foreign-style lipstick and trendy curly hair is that simple old friend she is familiar with?
Mother Zhou leaned on the car and waved to her. The bright red nail polish made her rough hands that had worked so hard all her life much more refined: "Hi!"
Hu Yu was surprised and anxious at the same time. She held Zhou's mother's hand in the car and carefully stroked the other's nails. She couldn't help but feel ashamed: "It's so beautiful..."
"What's the matter!" Zhou's mother's voice was clearer than a few years ago, "I still have green and blue ones. When I get home, I will paint them for you."
Hu Yu was a little embarrassed, but the changes in her acquaintances were too great. Even her husband and son were very different from what they used to be in Liyun City.Gao Sheng's brows were condensed with a mature temperament. He took over Zhou's father's driving, and even answered a phone call on the way, and arranged work for the person on the other end of the phone with a serious tone.
Hu Yu leaned towards Lin Jingzhe, who looked the most gentle and easy to get along with in the car. Lin Jingzhe hugged her and explained: "Gao Sheng has a job now, and he will start a company soon to be the boss."
Hu Yu's heart was beating excitedly, and the eyes he looked at his son were unbelievable, but at the same time full of relief.
Gao Sheng hung up the phone, turned back and pinched Lin Jingzhe's face, and stared at him with some embarrassment: "What are you talking about, didn't you allocate the funds for my interest group? In the future, you will be the boss of the advertising company, say This is intended to embarrass me."
He said to his mother again: "Mom, don't be fooled by him, this kid is much better than me now!"
Hu Yu didn't have this concept at all, but turned around and looked at Lin Jingzhe in astonishment.
Lin Jingzhe smiled and hugged her and patted her: "Don't talk about this, Mr. Hu, let's go to your new home first."
Gao's father bought the house in September. It is located in the south of the city. It is a relatively good real estate.Hu Yu's teacher in Qunnan had never been out of the province in his life, and it was the first time he saw such a high-rise residential building, and his legs trembled a little when he took the elevator.This real estate is not as high-end as last week's Haitang's, but the facilities are also very good. The most rare thing is that the orientation and lighting are good, so it is slightly more expensive than the market price, and it has been sold in short supply since the opening.Gao's father didn't consider this place at first, because he didn't have enough money, but after comprehensively reviewing the various real estate properties, Lin Jingzhe and Gao Sheng insisted that he choose this place.
Lin Jingzhe originally wanted to sponsor some money, but Gao Sheng refused. He persuaded his father to go to the bank to borrow the missing house money.
It is very rare to carry a mortgage these days. Chinese people are generally pragmatic and believe in how much money you can do.In the eyes of many people, loans are actually borrowing money from banks. Therefore, it was not easy to promote the early loan business in the private sector. In order to expand the market, banks have taken many measures, even without interest.
But even so, it was still difficult to develop in the early days. Ordinary people like Father Gao would rather borrow all their relatives, and never included this as an option.
Gao Sheng was also like this at first, but after starting an interest group, he took many courses related to economics in order to manage, and his concept has changed drastically.
In the end, Gao's father was unable to win over his son. This is due to Gao Sheng's citation of scriptures and his understanding of the reason, but the more important reason is that this house is really in line with his wishes.
Small high-rise, [-]th floor, set on the east side, transparent and square from north to south.
The spacious balcony in the living room made the tone of the whole room full of light. This large suite with a total area of more than 180 square meters is definitely not comparable to the staff dormitory in Liyun No. [-] Middle School.
Hu Yugang was too scared to approach the balcony at first, but when he slowly mustered up the courage to approach, he was immediately intoxicated by the spacious view.
so good……
she said in her heart.
To be able to live in such a nice house in my lifetime.
The dinner was served at a restaurant downstairs. From the past, it was an extremely extravagant expectation to go to a restaurant, but now you can easily order ten dishes. Hu Yu's usual timid and restrained face is also filled with a joyful smile.This trip to Yan City was beyond her expectations, everything she saw and felt was completely different from what she had originally imagined.
From Father Gao's narration, Lin Jingzhe knew that Hu Yu had already been dragged to resign when he came out this trip.The resignation of this excellent teacher surprised the principal of No. [-] Middle School, and even alarmed the leaders of the Liyun City Party Committee.Du Kang personally called the No. [-] Middle School to inquire, and confirmed that Hu Yu had no dispute with the school and just left the city, so he nodded and agreed to the school's release.
Hu Yu smiled softly, just as she was full of patience and tolerance when facing the students: "The current No. [-] Middle School is much better than when Principal Tao was in office, and there are more students. Even the fifth class of each grade The atmosphere has also improved a lot, all thanks to your leadership."
The legend that Lin Jingzhe's Class [-] in that class had a province-wide success is still circulating in the topics of many high school parents in Li Yun.
Father Gao drank a glass of wine, his simple and honest face was black and red, because he was a little excited to see his long-lost wife: "That English teacher Li Yurong..."
"Tsk!" Hu Yu interrupted him with a slight frown, "What are you talking about?"
"Why can't you say it? I want to say it! She bullied you for so many years and now the villain will be rewarded, why can't I say it?" Father Gao said angrily, "I only found out when I had dinner with Fengshou that Teacher Li is not a bad person. Said, destroying other people’s families! Now the wife of the resigned Principal Tao is making trouble for her every day, it’s true that evil people have their own troubles!"
Hu Yu sighed: "She is also quite pitiful. Principal Tao's wife is really too much, and the methods she uses are very insulting..."
Lin Jingzhe knew that she was kind-hearted and might not be happy because of the downfall of the enemy, so she immediately changed the topic: "Don't talk about them, Mr. Hu, what do you plan to do after you arrive in Yanshi? Retire early or continue to work?"
Hu Yu looked aside hesitantly when he heard this.
Father Gao said enthusiastically: "What is the job? Being a teacher is tiring and irritating, and you don't have any money to make. Just stay at home, I'll take care of you!"
Hu Yu smiled softly in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were a little forced.
Lin Jingzhe immediately caught it keenly, and asked, "Mr. Hu, what do you think?"
"I... me?"
Hu Yu glanced at her husband, then at her son, and the eyes of everyone at the table surrounded her.
Concerned about her husband's opinion, it seemed difficult for her to speak up, but after a while, under Lin Jingzhe's encouraging gaze, she mustered up the courage to speak out: "I...I still want to continue teaching."
Father Gao was taken aback, and his expression immediately became unhappy: "What's the matter with you? You know how to ask for trouble all day long, what's the point of teaching those children? Why don't you just do housework and tidy up at home..."
Hu Yu softly refuted him: "It's not interesting, education is a very meaningful thing, I like to stay with students."
Gao's father kept his face sullen and did not speak. After a long while, he snorted: "Woman..."
"Hey! Be careful what you say!" Zhou's mother on the side stopped doing it as soon as she was obedient, and complained, "What's wrong with women? Women can't have their own careers?"
Zhou's father was also a machismo a few years ago, but now he just coaxed his wife in a gentle voice: "Oh, I didn't tell you why you are angry..."
Mother Zhou waved away her husband and Si Ni's hands, and said to Hu Yu: "Mr. Hu, don't worry, I will find a way to let you enter the school. You can choose any high school in Yan City, and I support you!"
Although the two parties are partners, to be honest, Zhou's mother is more like a proprietress, so Gao's father is not good at confrontation, so he just shut up angrily.
Hu Yu was like a pool of warm water: "I won't go to high school anymore. I don't have enough aptitude, and I've stayed in Li Yun for so many years. I'm sure I won't be able to keep up in Yan City. Just go to elementary school."
Lin Jingzhe said at the right time: "Mr. Hu, it may not be easy for you to adapt to the education rhythm of Yan City so quickly. Anyway, you have resigned now, I think it's better to leave production and go to graduate school? Take education."
"Ah?" Hu Yu had never thought about this, "At my age..."
"Anyway, there are no hard and fast rules. As long as the exam can be passed, the tutor can always discuss it." Lin Jingzhe said, "Learning more things will help the students in the future, won't it?"
Hu Yu's whole heart swayed, this was her longing for a long time.
Gao Sheng has always supported Lin Jingzhe's suggestions unconditionally, and immediately booed: "Go! Go! Mom, if you take the postgraduate entrance examination, I will follow suit in the future!"
Father Gao stared at his son helplessly: "What are you doing!"
In the warm atmosphere, Hu Yu felt unprecedented power.She met Shang Lin Jingzhe's shining eyes, and then looked back at Father Gao's helpless expression.
Hu Yu put down his chopsticks and nodded firmly: "Okay!"
*******
On Tuesday evening, in a villa in Yan City, Shen Tiantian's birthday party was held as scheduled.
The house was full of guests and the traffic flowed like weaving. She stood at the gate in her pink cashmere coat to meet the guests in person.
All the people who arrived were classmates and friends who grew up in the compound. Her outfit today was very eye-catching and she received countless compliments.Many girls who had a good time even secretly pulled her aside and asked her where she bought this trendy cashmere coat.
Shen Tiantian was very proud: "My brother gave it to me, I don't know where I bought it from."
The female students immediately became envious: "It's nice to have a brother..."
A black car stopped at the gate. Seeing the driver's appearance, Shen Tiantian hurriedly left the chatterers and ran towards the gate.
A camel came out of the car, followed by that familiar cold face.Xiao Miao wore a high ponytail, and her indifferent gaze swept around the scene. She gathered up the jacket that was deliberately arranged in a very stylish way, and walked towards the door carelessly.
"Miaomiao!" She grew up in the same compound since she was a child. Although she is not that close, she is still an old acquaintance.Shen Tiantian called her nickname and ran towards her. Just as she was about to say something, she was taken aback when she saw the shape of her coat.
Xiao Miao also paused for a moment when she saw the other party's clothes with her non-warm eyes.
Shen Tiantian compared them in surprise: "Same style! Where did you buy it?"
Xiao Miao didn't want to recall, Xiao Chi threw this dress into her arms with the bag directly before going out, and it hurt her chest so badly, she just said that it was given to her by her future sister-in-law, and she didn't know why her face smelled like shit when she was talking .Xiao Miao really wanted to hit him, but it was a pity that Xiao Chi dropped his clothes and ran away, his action was really quick.
But this dress is really beautiful!Xiao Miao liked it so much, she put it on when she went out.
This sister-in-law really knows how to behave, so she has a good impression, at least much better than the trash brother at home.
There were all kinds of thoughts in her heart, but her tone was so calm that no waves could be heard: "What a coincidence. But I don't know where I bought it. This dress was given by my sister-in-law. What about you?"
Shen Tiantian showed a sweet smile: "My brother gave it to me!"
"Your brother?" Xiao Miao recalled for a while and remembered the intricate relationship of the Shen family, but she didn't expect Shen Tiantian to get along very well with that reorganized brother.A brother who would choose clothes specially for his younger sister, which made her a little bit unexpected and envious: "Your brother is really nice."
"That's it!" After standing at the door for a long time, Shen Tiantian stretched out her hand to take Xiao Miao's arm in embarrassment, and pulled towards the room, "But your sister-in-law is also good, and I hope to have such a good sister-in-law in the future. "
Xiao Miao smiled lightly.She still wants to have a brother as good as Shen Tiantian, where can she find her?
