Hearing Yang Haifan call the woman's name, Chen Shuhan was also moved in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among Yang Haifan's classmates, Fan Ying is the one that Yang Haifan has talked about to Chen Shuhan the most. Fan Ying and Yang Haifan have been classmates since elementary school, and in the difficult economic years, Fan Ying saved her breakfast for Yang Haifan, and the two of them have a childhood friendship. During Yang Haifan's visit to Nanjiang as an educated youth, Fan Ying was an educated youth in the suburbs of Pujiang, and his living conditions were slightly better than Yang Haifan's, and he also sent Yang Haifan a few times to Pujiang biscuits, milk candy and the like, although that little thing was not enough to solve the problem of hunger, but Yang Haifan deeply felt the warmth from his classmates.

During the period of being an educated youth, Fan Ying got married, and her husband was a Pujiang educated youth from the same educated youth point. When the educated youth returned to the city, the couple returned to Pujiang, and her husband recruited workers into the factory as a worker, while she remained unemployed at home. Yang Haifan returned to Pujiang to visit relatives in the early years, and met Fan Ying once, knowing that her life was quite embarrassing. Later, Yang Haifan never saw Fan Ying, but occasionally heard from classmates that her husband had an accident, as if he was disabled by a work injury, and the family's life became more and more difficult.

Yang Haifan has always wanted to find an opportunity to visit Fan Ying and give her some help. But because Chenyu Company is very busy, Yang Haifan comes and goes in a hurry every time he returns to Pujiang, and he can't spare time to find Fan Ying. This time, he went back to Pujiang for his honeymoon, and he had plenty of time. He also specifically told Chen Shuhan about going to see Fan Ying, but he didn't expect to meet her on this occasion today.

Before coming to the party, Yang Haifan asked other students if Fan Ying would come. Several classmates said that although Fan Ying had been notified, it was extremely unlikely that Fan Ying would come to participate. Fan Ying never participated in the previous class reunions, on the one hand, it may be because she is in a bad living situation and does not want to be embarrassed in front of her classmates, and on the other hand, she may be reluctant to pay for the party. Like today's Western-style cocktail party, each student has to pay 20 yuan, and if you bring your family to attend, you have to pay another family fee. This is a big expense, and Fan Ying will naturally not come to participate if her family is in financial difficulties.

Because of this, when Fan Ying appeared in front of Yang Haifan, he blurted out and asked Fan Ying why he came.

Fan Ying heard the subtext in Yang Haifan's words, she smiled shallowly and said, "I heard that you brought your lover back to Pujiang, so you must come to meet you, it is not too rude." Haifan, are you the latest to get married in our class? This is your lover, so young and with a good temperament, I don't know what to call it. ”

"Fan Ying, my name is Chen Shuhan. I'm not young anymore, I'm only a year younger than Haifan. Chen Shuhan responded politely. Fan Ying's words are full of kindness, Chen Shuhan is a person who knows good and bad, and of course he will treat each other politely.

Fan Ying smiled: "Oh, I'm a few months older than Haifan, and I can also be called a sister in front of you." ”

"Sister Fan, I heard Haifan say that you took good care of him in the past. Chen Shuhan said.

"Between classmates, how can you say that you can't take care of it. ”

"Haifan also said that he would take me to visit you in a day or two, I don't know if Sister Fan is convenient. ”

Fan Ying was stunned for a moment, her face showed some embarrassment, and she said sneeringly: "Haven't you already seen this, it's not easy for you to go back to Pujiang, so you don't have to make a special trip to me." ”

"Oh, is it?" Chen Shuhan opened a restaurant, and his ability to observe words and expressions was so powerful, as soon as he heard Fan Ying's words, he knew that the other party was politely refusing his arrival. Thinking of Fan Ying's family situation that Yang Haifan had told her, and seeing Fan Ying's clothes that were already a little old, Chen Shuhan could already guess the reason for Fan Ying's refusal.

Cao Xiangmei was about to embarrass Chen Shuhan just now, she didn't want to be interrupted by Fan Ying, so she couldn't get out of her stomach in one breath. Now that he saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you don't know yet, right? Now Fan Ying is the big boss, and he is very busy every day, and he usually doesn't even have time to meet our classmates in Pujiang." ”

Fan Ying's face sank suddenly, she looked at Cao Xiangmei coldly, and said, "Xiangmei, you don't have to say this. I'm just running a wonton stand, not a big boss. I'm not ashamed to work to earn money to support my family, isn't it?"

"I didn't say you're ashamed, I just ......" Cao Xiangmei was a little speechless. She is not actually a combat-effective person, but she is just used to relying on the status of an employee of a foreign company to despise those acquaintances who she thinks are inferior to her. She thought that Fan Ying and Chen Shuhan would be ashamed of their self-employed status, so they couldn't speak in front of her, who would have thought that Fan Ying would directly expose her profession, and her cold expression was clearly a little hostile.

Cao Xiangmei was a little unsure, if she said something mean, would the other party rush up to fight with her, or at least quarrel with everyone. Fighting or arguing with others will destroy her image as a white-collar worker in a foreign company, which she does not dare to try.

Yang Haifan looked at this scene a little helplessly, and felt a little embarrassed in front of Chen Shuhan. Chen Shuhan smiled brightly, stepped forward to hold Fan Ying's arm, and said, "Sister Fan, it turns out that you are also a catering, so let's go together." My small restaurant also sells wontons, but my skills are not good, and the wontons I make are not popular, do you have any experience to teach me?"

"Really, I have a bit of experience in this......" Fan Ying took Chen Shuhan's words seriously. She had heard Chen Shuhan say that she was also self-employed, and she instinctively had a sense of closeness to Chen Shuhan, but now when she saw Chen Shuhan coming up to hold her and humbly ask for advice, she clearly deliberately wanted to support her in front of Cao Xiangmei, and she had a little more good impression of Chen Shuhan in her heart. She said seriously: "In fact, the most difficult thing about wontons is rolling the skin and adjusting the filling, Xiao Chen, if you really want to learn, go to my stall in two days, and I will teach you." ”

"We've got it, but I don't pay for tuition. Chen Shuhan said with a smile.

Seeing that these two women chatted affectionately, without the slightest sense of inferiority complex in front of a white-collar worker as a self-employed person, Cao Xiangmei had a sense of loss when her fist hit the cotton. She snorted softly, took her glass and went to the other classmates to continue to show off.

Yang Haifan watched Cao Xiangmei walk away, so he stepped forward, pulled Fan Ying and sat down on the chair next to him with Chen Shuhan, and asked with concern: "Fan Ying, I have written you a few letters, but you have not replied." I've heard people say that your family is in a bit of a difficult situation, what is the situation, can you tell me about this old classmate?"

Fan Ying smiled, nodded and said, "Actually, it's nothing, many classmates know it." Since I returned to the city, I have been unemployed, working odd jobs in large collective enterprises in the streets. My wife works as an electrician in a factory, and the two of us basically earn enough to live. The year before last, my lover had a work injury and lost one of his legs, so he had to retire. The salary is paid in full, but the bonuses, benefits, etc. are gone. Now the cost of living in Pujiang, you may have heard of it, the dual-income families in the enterprise, if there is no extra money, life is very difficult, let alone our kind of ......"

"Why don't you tell me?" Yang Haifan complained. He does have the confidence to speak like this now, not to mention that Chen Shuhan is a rich woman at the level of 100,000 yuan, it is Yang Haifan himself, who gets a high salary of several hundred yuan in Chenyu Company, and a bonus of one or two hundred thousand yuan at the end of the year, it is too easy to fund his former friends.

Fan Ying shook her head and said, "What can I tell you? People always have to rely on themselves." I had no choice, so I applied for a self-employed license and set up a stall in front of my house, selling wontons and some dim sum, and the business was okay. My wife is an electrician, and he has set up a stall next to me to help people repair televisions and tape recorders, and he also has an income. Now we're a little busier, and we're financially okay. ”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on her face, which roughly meant that Yang Haifan didn't have to worry about her.

"Do you have children?" Chen Shuhan asked.

"There was a girl, eight years old, in the second year of primary school. Fan Ying said, and then sighed self-deprecatingly, and said: "Alas, in fact, it costs too much money to raise children now, buying clothes, attending interest classes, and participating in extracurricular activities organized by the school, all cost money, don't you know, Pujiang people say that they can't afford to raise children." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, Fan Ying raised her wrist to look at her watch, and said, "Oh, it's past eight o'clock, I have to go back, my daughter is very sticky to me, and I want me to tell her stories before going to bed every day." I'm here today to meet you two, and it's good to see you now. Xiao Chen, Haifan is very smart and honest, you will definitely be very happy with him. ”

"Thank you, Sister Fan. Chen Shuhan said sincerely, "By the way, Sister Fan, the good thing we just said, I want to go to you tomorrow to learn technology, you don't object." ”

"It's okay, I'm welcome if you come at any time. Fan Ying said, "My stall is open in the alley where my family lives, Haifan should still remember the location of my house, right?"

"Remember, we'll go tomorrow. Yang Haifan said.

The two of them sent Fan Ying out of the door of the restaurant all the way, and when they returned to the banquet hall, they heard a noisy noise in the corner of the banquet hall, and it was clear that there was some dispute, and the loudest one seemed to be Cao Xiangmei. Yang Haifan frowned and asked a classmate next to him, "What's going on?"

The classmate showed a disgusted expression and said: "It's not Cao Xiangmei, I feel that I work in a foreign company, so I have to play some foreign style, and I have to go to French wine." As a result, two bottles of wine cost more than 800 yuan, and everyone didn't pay enough money, and now there is a quarrel. ”
