On weekend evenings, Geng Zhiyuan hosted a banquet for junior high school students in the dining hall of the VIP building. Present were Xu Zhen, Wang Chenguang, Cui Huajian, Wei Xiao, Cong Lin, Zhong Ying and Geng Yan.

Geng Zhiyuan sat in the main escort, and Geng Yan sat in the deputy escort seat. Geng Zhiyuan deliberately arranged for Wang Chenguang to sit down next to Wei Xiao, but Wei Xiao frowned and did not speak.

Geng Yan saw that Wei Xiao had returned to his former appearance, and said happily: "Wei Xiao is worthy of being our class flower, and she has returned to the stunning beauty she used to be. ”

Cong Lin hugged Wei Xiao and sighed: "Don't look at Wei Xiao being deceived by a man once, now she is more feminine, and I don't know which bad man will be cheaper in the future." ”

Zhong Ying looked at Wei Xiao, who was radiant again, and secretly envious in her heart. After graduating, she was assigned to Liuwangzhen Middle School, and she hastily found an honest township staff to get married, settled in the town with her husband, and only returned to the city to visit her parents on weekends.

Cui Huajian had other ideas, he was more concerned about Wei Xiao's life after resigning: "Wei Xiao, what school did you go to private, right?"

"Yes. Wei Xiao nodded and said, "How can there be a way for the public office?"

"How's the income?" Cui Huajian asked.

Wei Xiao saw the eagerness in his eyes, and told him truthfully: "The salary is more than 1,000 a month, and there is a bonus of two or three thousand per quarter, which is about 20,000 yuan a year." ”

"More than 20,000 yuan! is it so much?" Cui Huajian was secretly moved, his annual income from Dahuaishu Middle School had just reached 10,000 yuan at most, and the temptation to double his income was still very great.

"Looking at this year's enrollment situation, it will rise next year. Wei Xiao speculated.

Cui Huajian said with a smile: "If we are interested, can you introduce us?"

Wei Xiao looked at Geng Zhiyuan with a difficult face, not knowing if he was willing to reveal his identity, and prevaricated: "You have to ask Geng Zhiyuan, he helped me find it." ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Geng Zhiyuan was the noble person who made Wei Xiao change his appearance.

"Lao Geng, if I want to go, can you talk to me?" Cui Huajian's family is in difficulty, his life is extremely stressful, and he urgently needs to increase his income level.

Chuyuan School was already on the right track, and when he heard Cui Huajian's inquiry, he smiled and said, "No problem, if you really want to go, wait for the good news." ”

Zhong Ying hesitated and asked, "If I want to go, do they want it?"

Geng Zhiyuan glanced at her and muttered, "It's okay to go if you want to, but you have to think about it carefully." Once you resign from public office, it will be difficult to go back. ”

Zhong Ying had long wanted to return to the city, but she couldn't find a way, so she nodded and said: "No problem, I've already stayed enough, a job with an income of seven or eight thousand a year, what is there to be nostalgic for?"

Geng Zhiyuan pondered for a while and said, "Stick to this semester, and then you will make a choice after I give you news after the New Year, how about it?"

"Okay!" Cui Huajian saw that he looked confident, and said suspiciously: "That school...... You can't drive it, right?"

Geng Zhiyuan didn't want to hide it, and explained with a smile: "Originally, no, a friend and I bought this school a while ago, and everyone is welcome to join in and start a business together." ”

All the old classmates here, except for Geng Yan, who knew how capable his younger brother was, the rest of the people, including Wei Xiao, didn't know his true strength, so they were all shocked when they heard the news.

Xu Zhen said with an incredulous face: "Lao Geng, how many things do you still have to hide from us? Last time, you said that you opened a restaurant, and now you have a school, are you still working in the design institute?"

"Yes, I am now the person in charge of the construction site of the fertilizer plant relocation project of the design institute, how can I not be in the design institute?" Geng Zhiyuan said with a smile: "The restaurant belongs to my sister, and I am just doing me a favor." The school is also my friend's, and I'm just doing a favor. ”

After entering the table, Wei Xiao has always been lukewarm to Wang Chenguang, but has always been affectionate to Geng Zhiyuan. Wang Chenguang saw that Geng Zhiyuan was being polite there again, and couldn't help but be jealous: "You really helped enough." ”

Wei Xiao saw that he was disrespectful to Geng Zhiyuan, and gave him an angry look.

The attractiveness of men is constantly changing with age. When he was young, a man's charm mainly depended on his appearance and temperament. After entering society, men's attractiveness is mainly determined by social role and social status.

When he was young, Wang Chenguang was far inferior to Geng Zhiyuan in terms of appearance, temperament and academic performance. It's just that it is stained with the light of first-come, first-served, and it monopolizes the top of the class flower.

And now, Wang Chenguang is just a single father who has been laid off and re-employed, and he has made a living through Geng Zhiyuan's relationship. So compared to Geng Zhiyuan, he is far behind, where will Wei Xiao look up to him again?

When the wine was drunk, Xu Zhen recalled: "Today's children are so happy, they can eat whatever they want." I remember when I was a child, not to mention the delicious food, even the meat was not enough to eat in one meal. ”

When I was a child, my father asked me to buy meat every time, and he specifically told me to buy fat. Why? Because the fat meat is brought back and the oil is refined, and the lard is used to stir-fry and eat. ”

Geng Zhiyuan was quite touched: "What impresses me the most is bananas, which I can't eat once a year. Even if I finally ate it, I could only eat one stick last time. So until now, bananas are still a good thing in my eyes, and I am reluctant to eat more. ”

Cui Huajian's face flushed and said, "Your family is all urban, it's better." My family is rural, very poor. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I didn't wear underwear before I was in middle school, and I wore pants bare. That uncomfortable ...... Alas!"

The four old men drank too much and took turns to complain about the bitterness of life in the past, and Geng Yan and other girls couldn't help but feel funny. Geng Yan said: "What I remember most is that after the TV performance of "Volleyball Girl", just in time for the women's volleyball team to win the championship. My sister took me and Zhiyuan to play volleyball at school, and fantasized about becoming a volleyball player when she grew up to win glory for the country. ”

Wei Xiao recalled: "I remember eating chocolate for the first time when I was a child, first bitter and then sweet, and I still can't forget the taste. ”

Cong Lin pointed to the ingots cloth bag chicken on the table and said: "When I was a child, I ate chickens, and I killed my own chickens to eat. I remember in the yard my dad they killed the chicken, first cut it and bleed, then threw the chicken out and let it flutter, and then plucked the feathers and gutted the chicken when it died. I can't eat it a few times a year, so it's like eating it if I want to eat it now. ”

Geng Zhiyuan praised: "Therefore, our country is constantly improving, despite such difficulties and shortcomings, I believe that we will continue to follow the established steps step by step, and we will definitely become a rich and powerful developed country." ”

When the wine was gone, Geng Zhiyuan dragged Wang Chenguang and asked him to send Wei Xiao, but he didn't expect Wang Chenguang to flinch and refuse to go, and Wei Xiao was also obviously unwilling with a resentful face.

Geng Yan understood it, and called Xu Zhen to let him accompany Wang Chenguang home, and asked his younger brother to send Wei Xiao. Geng Zhiyuan saw that his sister had misunderstood, so he hurriedly leaned into her ear and whispered: "Sister, I want to match Wei Xiao and Wang Chenguang, don't you make trouble?"

Geng Yan patted his brother and shook his head and said, "You are a fan of the authorities, but we are bystanders." Wei Xiao loves you, silly brother!"

"This?" Geng Zhiyuan realized that he had done something wrong with good intentions, and said in amazement: "What can I do about this?"

Geng Yan is a heroine among women, so she will naturally not be confined to the moral constraints of the past, and persuaded her: "To solve the bell, you must tie the bell." My sister is also a woman, she understands a woman's heart better than you, Wei Xiao is afraid that she will follow you in this life, so don't let her down. ”

Geng Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "I have Qingqing, and I won't fall in love with other women again." ”

Geng Yan was so angry that she wanted to nod his forehead, but found that he couldn't reach him, so he hammered his chest and said, "You kid is stupid? People want to follow you even if they don't want a name! You still don't understand this? You have made so many girlfriends in vain." ”

"No, how can this work? absolutely not!" Getting along with Wei Xiao in private behind his girlfriend exceeded Geng Zhiyuan's bottom line as a man, he shook his head like a wave drum and said no again and again.

"Alas, you, you don't know the blessing in the midst of happiness!" Geng Yan said angrily: "You go and send her first, you can't let the family go home by themselves, right?"

"Okay, I'll send her. Geng Zhiyuan reluctantly walked up to Wei Xiao and said, "Let's go, I'll send you." ”

"Hmm. Wei Xiao smiled at him, and he was extremely charming for a while.

The night is deep, the autumn wind sweeps, rolling up pieces of dead leaves and whirling and flying. There were few pedestrians on the road, Wei Xiao was cold and afraid, and involuntarily leaned on Geng Zhiyuan's side.

Geng Zhiyuan was silent, he really didn't know how to treat the goddess he once loved. If you don't love it at all, it's definitely talking nonsense with your eyes open. Whenever he is lonely in the dead of night, the scarred feelings hidden in the bottom of his heart pop up from time to time to stab him, which makes people feel painful.

He turned his head and glanced at Wei Xiao, and under the dim street lamp, he could vaguely see his eyebrows and eyes, and his fairy and jade face. Wei Xiao noticed that he was looking at himself, turned his face to him and smiled, "What's wrong?

The eyes are full of spring, as bright as peach blossoms. Geng Zhiyuan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly turned his head and said, "No, it's nothing!"

Seeing him like this, Wei Xiao couldn't help but forcibly grabbed his arm. Geng Zhiyuan hurriedly persuaded: "Don't, don't do this!"

Wei Xiao smiled and said, "I am willing, don't be afraid, I won't rely on you." ”

He struggled twice and didn't break free, and he couldn't bear to hurt Wei Xiao's heart too hard, so he had to let her go. Wei Xiaoyu said quietly: "Don't worry, I won't rob you with your girlfriend." ”

"Xiaoxiao, I ......"

"No need to explain. Wei Xiao's eyes widened and said word by word: "I am willing." I've missed it once before, and since God has given me another chance, I can't be wrong this time. I know who the person I love is, and I don't want to regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Xiaoxiao, why bother? Geng Zhiyuan persuaded insincerely.

Wei Xiao stared at him affectionately and said, "It's a pity that in this life, there is only one you." ”

Geng Zhiyuan was speechless, and finally came to the downstairs of Wei Xiao's house in silence all the way.

"Goodbye!" Geng Zhiyuan finally broke free from Wei Xiao's embrace, and was about to turn around and leave, but Wei Xiao handed him a big envelope and said, "Give you something, go back and see it." ”

"This ...... What is it?" Geng Zhiyuan said hesitantly.

Wei Xiaowan smiled: "You can go back and take a look." ”

"That'...... All right. ”

"Goodbye!"

A pair of former lovers waved goodbye, staring at Geng Zhiyuan's disappearing back, Wei Xiao said softly: "Zhiyuan, I love you." ”
