Volume 1 1998 Chapter 12 The Great Golden Chain

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Yuan arrived at the school gate, he was stopped by Pang Tao.

Pang Tao got straight to the point and said, "Are you free tonight?" My dad wants to invite you to dinner. ”

Li Yuan thought to himself, here.

He did so much, and that's what he was waiting for.

Li Yuan was about to agree, but Guo Hua, who was also waiting at the door, quit.

"Wait a minute, my dad is going to invite you to dinner too," Guo Hua emphasized, "and it's also today." ”

"That's the problem. ”

Li Yuan had the intention to tease them, so he said in embarrassment: "I can't eat two dinners, right?"

"Do you want your dad to change the day?" asked Pang Tao.

"Why isn't it your dad another day?" Guo Hua retorted, and said, "My dad said that he would book a table early in the morning, and I'm afraid it's all booked at this time." ”

"But ......" Guo Hua couldn't say anything stupidly, and he was so anxious that he was sweating, for fear that the task given to him by his father would be messed up by himself.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Min rode a brand-new mountain bike and made a dashing emergency stop in front of the three of them.

Pang Tao and Guo Hua told her about the matter and asked her to judge.

"What should I do, please don't end it together. Zhao Min said disapprerovingly, "Guo Hua, don't you have a mobile phone, you two call your parents and talk to them, and you want to fight for them." After speaking, he turned to Li Yuan, "By the way, Yuanyuan, do you want to take me with you for dinner?"

"Must bring!" Li Yuan replied categorically. Just kidding, if he dared to refuse, Zhao Min would be able to spread his "nickname" to the whole school that day.

……

Guo Hua and Pang Tao called home separately, and after a while, Guo Hua's father called back, and the two men actually knew each other, and decided to invite this meal together.

Li Yuan smiled when he heard this, and took advantage of Zhao Min's opportunity to lock the car and leave her alone, dragged her to the back of the teaching building, and said viciously: "The original two meals were mixed by you, and there is only one left, so you can say what to do!"

"Or will you eat me?"

Zhao Min pretended to be pitiful, not to mention, if she didn't know her nature, she would really be deceived by her.

"What do I eat you do. Li Yuan glanced at Zhao Min's chest, and thought that there was no meat for two or two. He cleared his throat and said half-jokingly: "Remember, talk less at night, eat more, and strive to get back at home." ”

"Don't worry, I promise not to interject. ”

Zhao Min said with a grin.

……

The hotel was set by Guo Hua's father, Yingzhou Hotel.

Yingzhou Hotel is the first three-star hotel in Yingzhou City, built nearly ten years ago, and later mushroomed like mushrooms of four-star incomparable, but now it is a veritable high-end venue.

Yingzhou was originally a county, in the early nineties from the county to the city, and soon after, it was assigned to Bozhou City, although it was called a city, it was actually still a county seat.

In the 90s, Yingzhou's primary industry was still grain planting, the industrial and commercial foundation was very thin, and the local economy was relatively backward.

It can be said that when you walk out of the oil field and enter the jurisdiction of Yingzhou City, both the buildings on both sides of the street and the faces of pedestrians are dusty.

Guo Hua's father chose the banquet venue in the Yingzhou Hotel, which made Li Yuan a little surprised, although there is no shortage of rich people in poor counties, but having money does not mean that they are willing to spend money.

Of course, those looking for some hidden entertainment are not included.

Yingzhou Hotel is located in the west of the city, the distance is not close, Pang Tao said to take the bus over, Zhao Min is not worried about the newly bought bicycle, insisted that Li Yuan ride a bicycle to take her away, at the school gate is talking about this, a Santana stopped in front of a few people.

The door opened, and a lean man wearing a large gold chain and a slab head stepped down.

"Dad, why are you here?" asked Guo Hua in surprise.

"I'll pick you up. ”

The man looked at a few people, his eyes quickly locked on Li Yuan, and said, "You are Li Yuan, my son always mentions you at home." ”

"Hello uncle. Li Yuan greeted politely.

"Let's get in the car first. Guo Hua's father said.

Zhao Min held the bicycle and suddenly retreated: "Otherwise, I won't go." ”

"Isn't it, you're also afraid?" Li Yuan leaned into her ear and whispered: "If you don't go, how can I eat alone?"

"Who's afraid!" Zhao Min glared at him and said, "Then you wait for me, I'll go and lock the car." ”

Zhao Min locked the car back to the carport and came back to find Li Yuan and Guo Hua's father standing by the car, smoking and chatting.

"Who made you smoke!"

Zhao Min's eyes widened, snatched the cigarette from Li Yuan's hand, threw it on the ground and trampled it with his feet, and said: "Pay attention, don't be like a little rascal!"

Guo Hua's father handed Li Yuan a look - your girlfriend?

Li Yuan shook his head again and again, joking, finding a girlfriend like Zhao Min, I'm afraid I will have to live ten years less.

……

Guo Hua's father's name is Guo Xiaobao, the third in the family, Li Yuan called him the third uncle according to what he said.

Guo Xiaobao is very good at driving, in all senses.

This person is very talkative, presumably engaged in a profession that intersects with the three religions and nine streams, and has a slightly heavier temperament, and likes to say some half-meat and half-vegetarian jokes. From him and Guo Hua's father and son, Li Yuan came to a conclusion that the joker can also be inherited.

Of course, in the original sense, Guo Xiaobao's driving skills are also quite superb.

Li Yuan had never bought a car in his life, but he had driven it for the boss of the company for several years and knew what it meant to be able to drive.

Those who drive on the road to change lanes and overtake, and play drifting at every turn, can only be said to be able to play with cars, and those who can really drive will never drive the car into a wild horse, but let you sit in the car as if sitting on your own sofa.

Guo Xiaobao is such an old driver.

……

"How many years have you bought this car, Third Uncle?" asked Li Yuan.

"Two years. Guo Xiaobao replied casually.

"Usually rarely open?" Li Yuan asked again.

"How do you know?" asked Guo Xiaobao curiously.

"I can hear it when I hear the engine. ”

As soon as Li Yuan spoke, Guo Xiaobao knew that he had met an expert, and he became more and more curious, and heard his son say that the conditions at his home were quite poor, how could he understand this?

As if guessing his thoughts, Li Yuan explained: "My dad used to drive, but he drove a small car. ”

The implication is that Guo Xiaobao drives a big car.

Guo Xiaobao understood what he meant, and couldn't help but ask, "What else can you guess?"

"The third uncle drives a long-distance bus. ”

Li Yuan didn't wait for him to speak, and explained: "The driving habits of big car drivers and small car drivers are not the same, so I won't talk about this." I guess the third uncle drove a passenger car because the third uncle drove very steadily, not as rushing as a truck driver, and his personality was not as boring as a truck driver. In addition, truck drivers often need to help with loading and unloading goods, and the third uncle is afraid that he can't do it. ”

Guo Xiaobao nodded again and again, but he was not annoyed. Before he made a career in his early years, people around him called him "Monkey Three", so you can imagine what he looked like.

"Then how do you know I'm running long distances?" asked Guo Xiaobao.

"It's easy. Li Yuan spread his hands and said: "I not only know that you run long distances, but also know that you run the line from Yingzhou to Jinmen." Accent. ”

Guo Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and realized that what Li Yuan said was the Jinmen accent that occasionally came out of his mouth, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, others say that your third uncle is a monkey spirit, I think it's you!"

"How can I compare with the third uncle, I can't afford to drive Santana for two thousand. ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, Guo Xiaobao asked, "Do you still know how to drive?"

It's not uncommon to know Santana, in the late nineties, this car was about to rot on the street, but it is quite rare for a junior high school student to be able to accurately identify a specific model.

"Understand. Li Yuan said modestly.

"Will it open?"

"Yes. ”

"You're going to drive it?"

"Not really, right?"

"Don't pretend to be garlic with the third uncle," Guo Xiaobao slowed down and stopped, and scolded with a smile: "If you want to drive, you don't want to pay if you hit it." ”

"I can't afford it, I can't. Li Yuan smiled and changed positions with him, and started again.

When the car started, Li Yuan's words were less. Although he is confident enough in his driving skills, there is always nothing wrong with being careful, although Santana has withdrawn from the ranks of luxury cars, but it will cost more than 2,000 to change a set of rear lights, and if he bumps it, he really can't afford to lose.

Guo Xiaobao was a little worried at first, but when he saw that he was familiar with the way, he was relieved. He is not afraid of bumps, but he is afraid that something will happen to the children in the car.

It is said that a person's personality can be seen from a person's driving habits, Guo Xiaobao feels that if he follows this statement, Li Yuan is too old and serious, which is somewhat inconsistent with his previous cunning and agility.

What he didn't know was that Li Yuan's previous performance was intentional.

No way, if it can't be unexpected, how can it attract attention?

……

Feeling that the heat was almost over, Li Yuan no longer deliberately behaved, and drove the car to the front of Yingzhou Hotel steadily.

Guo Xiaobao's wife called him on the road, and came to the door of the hotel with Pang Jianguo and his wife to greet him, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Li Yuan get out of the driver's seat.

Pang Jianguo and his wife didn't say anything, Guo Xiaobao's wife Jiang Ping was straightforward and asked Guo Hua: "Son, can you still drive?"

Li Yuan saw her eyes looking straight at the car, knowing that she was afraid of scratches, so he politely called Auntie Hello, and said to her: "I'm pestering the third uncle to get addicted, Auntie won't blame me, right?"

Hearing Li Yuan say this, Jiang Ping's face turned a little red, and said with a smile: "How can Auntie blame you, it's good to be able to drive, you can't find a job after graduation in the future, you can drive to your third uncle to ......"

"Ahem!"

Guo Xiaobao coughed, glared at his wife, and said to Li Yuan with a smile: "Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense, where can the third uncle afford you." ”

Jiang Ping also realized that she had said the wrong thing at this time, and she didn't know what to say, and she was finally embarrassed to apologize to a junior high school student.

Li Yuan didn't take it to heart, he knew that Jiang Ping just couldn't speak, there was no malice, and he said to Guo Xiaobao with a smile: "Auntie is not talking nonsense, there are thousands of roads in life, there is no distinction between high and low, one day I can't continue to study, I really drive to the third uncle, and the salary is not much, and it will be rewarded with a few gold chains in a year." ”

Guo Xiaobao heard him mention the gold chain, and subconsciously touched his neck, thinking that Li Yuan was sarcastic about his nouveau riche dress, and when he looked up and saw Li Yuan squeezing his eyes at him, he realized that he was helping the couple resolve the embarrassment.

Guo Xiaobao's eyes rolled, and he pretended to be nervous and said: "Then I have to make a few hollow ones in advance, so as not to be pulled away by your kid." ”

"It doesn't matter," Li Yuan spread his hands solemnly, "It's okay if it's hollow, just throw it into the water and don't float." ”

Seeing the funny appearance of the two, everyone burst out laughing.
