Chapter 0087: New Year
After He Gang went to serve in the army, it has been five years, and the two of them have not seen each other once.
At this time, the reunion after a long absence is all a belly to say.
He Gang made a little appetizer, then took out two bottles of Gujing Tribute Wine, and began to drink one bottle at a time.
He Gang told Chen Xu about his army life in the past few years.
Chen Xu told He Gang about his college life in the past few years.
Talked about a lot, a lot.
But only the incident in the first year of junior high school was not mentioned, in He Gang's opinion, it was just a trivial matter, and he would do the same if it were someone else, and for Chen Xu, there were some kindnesses that did not need to be said.
At half past three, Chen Changjun came over.
As soon as they looked at the empty wine bottle that fell to the ground, they knew that the two of them had drunk too much, and said, "Then you can stay at Xiaogang's house at night, and I will go back with your mother and them." ”
"That'...... You guys...... How do you go back?"
"It's fine. I asked Dawen to send us back. ”
"Oh~that...... Dad, go back, I won't send you......"
"Got it. Drink slowly~"
After Chen Changjun left, the two of them continued to drink.
drank from afternoon to evening, then watched the Spring Festival Gala and drank until twelve o'clock, and finally Chen Xu fell asleep with a cup.
The next morning, Chen Xu woke up to the rumbling sound of firecrackers.
Rubbing his swollen and sore temples, getting dressed on the ground, in the living room outside, He Gang's mother Wu Qiaohua was putting candy melon seeds and peanuts on the table.
"Happy New Year, Auntie! ”
"The same is the same. Auntie also wishes you success in your studies and a bright future......"
brushed his teeth, washed his face and had breakfast, and Wu Qiaohua also wrapped a 100 yuan New Year's money for Chen Xu.
After having breakfast at He Gang's house, the two of them didn't go anywhere, so they continued to watch TV and chat at home.
He Gang's father died ten years ago, and he has an older sister who married in another place, and the family is their mother and son. He Gang has been a soldier for many years, and Wu's mother has been working in the county.
It may be the reason that he is not at home all the year round, and no one comes to He Gang's house to pay New Year's greetings, but it is very clean.
At ten o'clock, Chen Changjun called and asked them to go to the city for lunch together.
After Chen Xu hung up, he took He Gang and his mother to the town, picked up the car and looked towards the city.
On the way, He Gang looked here, touched there, and said in surprise: "What are you doing now?"
Chen Xu smiled: "Start a company while studying." ”
He Gang: "What kind of company did you open?"
Chen Xu: "Internet culture, online games, IT and the like. ”
He Gang: "That's amazing. If someone like me didn't graduate from high school, I can only work as a security guard or something. ”
Chen Xu: "Don't be presumptuous. I am born to be useful, which stipulates that you can't have a big career after graduating from high school. ”
He Gang: "That's right, but I can only comfort myself." The actual situation is that none of the enterprises and institutions, as well as the official recruitment of the state administrative department, has to graduate from high school. I've experienced this myself. ”
Chen Xu: "You said yesterday that you went to work, where did you go to work?"
He Gang: "I work as a security guard in an electronics factory in the county. ”
Chen Xu: "What about the salary?"
He Gang: "3200 a month, two shifts for 12 hours, six days off and one day off." ”
Chen Xu: "So little?"
He Gang: "There are already a lot of them in the county, and this is because I am a retired member of the armed police." Those production line workers work harder than me, only about 3,000 a month. ”
Chen Xu was right when he thought about it, after all, this is not Zhonghai, and the per capita income is much lower.
Chen Xu: "Come to Zhonghai, I'll help you find a new job." ”
He Gang: "No need, I want to stay in my hometown to take care of my mother! I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I was in the army, I thought about my mother and cried several times at night. ”
Chen Xu knew that he not only had strong self-esteem, but was also a dutiful son, and said, "Let Auntie go over together." ”
He Gang: "Many relatives are in the county, and she is not familiar with life when she goes to Zhonghai, so I am afraid that she will be lonely." ”
"Uh......"
Just when Chen Xu didn't know how to persuade him for a while, his mother Wu Qiaohua said: "Chen Xu will let you go, and my mother will take care of herself at home alone." ”
Under Wu Qiaohua's repeated persuasion, He Gang said that he would consider it.
But Chen Xu looked at him like that, nine times out of ten, he wouldn't go......
……
The lunch at a time-honored restaurant in Anling City at noon was regarded as a supplement to last night's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
There were nearly 20 people at the two tables, in addition to Chen Xu's family and He Gang's mother and son, there were also two relatives of Chen Xu's father, as well as several old sisters of his mother Fan Yumei and their wives.
The dishes are full of color and flavor, and the wine is the Feitian Moutai brought back by Chen Xu.
The meal was lively and happy.
After eating, Chen Xu arranged for the older to go to a newly opened living hall in the city to experience.
There are all kinds of eating, drinking, saunas, SPA massages, etc., and it is open 24 hours a day, and accommodation is provided, which is somewhat similar to the hot springs in Zhonghai.
The rest of the juniors went to KTV to sing en masse. Chen Yanan wanted to go back to prepare for the exam, but he was forced out by Chen Xu, what to learn during the New Year.
I didn't go to the mass merchandiser, at this time and this point, you don't have to guess to know, all the mass merchandising KTV in the city is full, several people went to a high-end KTV, the opening fee is 1888, and the consumption inside is also on par with Zhonghai.
The luxury private room is very large, 50 square meters, four people are a little too big, Chen Yanan and Chen Yiyi called their classmates and asked them to come over together.
Chen Xu also called Wang Wei and Wu Zhiqiang and asked them to come over, and the two of them arrived home at 11 o'clock last night. As for Yang Haidong, he volunteered to stay on duty in the company.
Half an hour later, the private room was lively.
Most of the people who came brought one or two people, either boyfriends or girlfriends, and the atmosphere became lively, those who were a little embarrassed at first, drank two rounds of wine, and immediately became Maiba, and some of them got together to chat, and when they were happy, they were two good brothers, and the five leaders drank up.
Here, Chen Xu and the four of them also gathered around to drink and talk about the company's affairs.
The main thing is that Chen Xu chatted with Wang Wei and Wu Zhiqiang, and He Gang listened.
"I'll go over tomorrow morning, Sister Qiangzi will get married the day after tomorrow, and he will stay one more day. ”
"Discuss it yourself. By the way, Wu Lei called me this morning and said that he would come to work on the seventh day of the new year, and he would cooperate a little when the time came, don't let people gossip, thinking that we are classmates and don't take other managers seriously. ”
"Don't worry. Public is public, private is private, we have a clear distinction between this, and it will definitely not make it difficult for you to do. ”
"Yes. When the time comes, where we do not do well, you can criticize it. ”
"Okay. Anyway, we just happened to talk about it today, so I'll tell you by the way. Come, drink......"
Soon Chen Yiyi came over, hugged Chen Xu's neck and whispered, "Brother, how about introducing Cheng Yuxin to you?" ”
Chen Xu: "Don't. ”
Chen Yiyi: "Why?"
Chen Xu: "The two places are separated. Your brother's head will soon turn into an HLBE savannah. ”
Chen Yiyi giggled non-stop, "You are talking nonsense, Cheng Yuxin is very well-behaved, and she has never been in love until now." ”
Chen Xugang wanted to say a few words, but suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hey, last time you said that your sister was in love, what is the situation now?"
Chen Yiyi immediately said excitedly when he heard it: "I am in contact, I saw the photo, the young man looks very handsome, only a little worse than you, brother." ”
Chen Xu was very useful to Chen Yiyi's sycophants, gave her a "count you can speak" expression, and asked, "Do you know the details of my future brother-in-law?"
"At present, it is known that the boy is in Singapore, and he should be taking the exam now, and the two of them often encourage each other to show affection on the scarf. More specific information is not yet available. ”
After a pause, Chen Yiyi said, "That's right." Don't ask my sister, she uses a trumpet, thinking I don't know. ”
As he spoke, Chen Yiyi let out a fox-like laugh.
Chen Xu and Chen Yiyi asked for a trumpet, planning to look back at the boy's background.
Of course he is happy that the old lady has found the true son, but if he meets a scumbag, he has to let the old sister recognize the true face of the other party in advance.
……
After playing in the KTV until six o'clock, some left halfway, and some were called back for dinner by their parents, and in the end there were ten people left.
Chen Xu called his parents, they were playing mahjong in the living hall, very hilarious.
Chen Xu didn't care about them anymore, and the group left KTV and had dinner at a nearby Cantonese restaurant.
After dinner at nine o'clock, they went back to their respective homes.
Chen Xu took Chen Yanan, Chen Yiyi and He Gang to the sauna to steam, and it was already 12 o'clock when they got home.
He Gang slept in the same room with Chen Xu, and the two of them talked at night.
He Gang rested his head on the pillow on the high, looked at the sparks outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said with emotion: "I feel like you have changed a lot now......
