Chapter Ninety-One: Human Affection is Warm and Cold
"These places are all good, I heard that they are developing very quickly?"
Lao Lian has been teaching at the school and has not been outside to see it, so he doesn't know what the situation is outside. What he knew was nothing more than what he knew from the people around him who had gone south.
Now the whole city is full of returnees carrying large bags and small bags, some young and some old. There are men and women.
Some happily chatted with their peers about their family affairs and their own work in the south. What kind of promotion, becoming a team leader or some kind of management, salary increase, etc.
There are also those who are not very good and go forward with their heads down. The closer you are to home, the more you go out to work for a year and there is no harvest, and you don't know what it will be like when you return home.
"Fortunately, Pengcheng and Yangcheng have the best development. One is a provincial capital in the south, and the other is a special zone near Xiangjiang. Xiangshan and Binhai are much different, Binhai is too small. ”
Liu Camellia explained to Lao Lian that at this time, the group had already arrived at the restaurant downstairs of the KTV, and there was not much difference between it and Zhang Chu's imagination, just like that.
According to Zhang Wenhu's explanation, this is already the best place in the city, and the consumption is much more expensive than ordinary places. If it weren't for the upcoming New Year, there would be no vacant land here.
Most of the classmates have already come, and those who didn't come were He Jie and a few other female classmates, Zhang Chu glanced at the people in the room, and the corners of his mouth curved down.
Those who didn't come had their own scores, and felt that they would pay for this party, and others should wait for them. Zhang Chu was not very happy with this party in his previous life, also because there were few people who didn't come later.
A class reunion is a class reunion, and if you don't want to pay that money, you can suggest that everyone get together and find a cheap place to get together.
It always feels too tasteless to use this method, which also causes the relationship between their junior high school classmates to become more and more cold in the future, and only a few small groups will get together if they have a good relationship.
Originally, Zhang Chu wanted to wait for them to come and then break out, and by the way, he pretended to be forced to face down. It's just that after meeting Lao Lian, and chatting outside just now, he changed his mind again.
It's better to leave a good memory of your junior high school life, there is no need to be like those people. At least Lao Lian, there are other classmates who are still good.
"Didn't you say that the meal would start on time at half past six? Wait a minute, I'm going upstairs to sing K, it's too late, and it's inconvenient for some students to go back." ”
When Zhang Chu and the others came in, it was already past six o'clock. I stayed in the room, and soon it was half past six, and there was a discussion in the room. Lao Lian is still a teacher, so he came over in advance.
"Aren't those guys a little too pretentious? Even his girlfriend was impatient. ”
Zhang Wenhu and Zhang Chu sat together, and at this time they came to Zhang Chu and said. In his previous life, it seemed that because of this incident, Lao Lian was a little unhappy and left early.
"Any of you have a phone number for a few of them, give me a call and ask. If they're not that fast, wait another ten minutes, and we'll eat first, and everyone will be hungry. ”
The whole city is so big, no matter what location, take a taxi or drive, ten minutes is enough to run to this place.
Those people didn't come that quickly, and if it was still like in their previous life, they would have dragged it out until after seven o'clock. However, Zhang Chu still asked people to call first, so as not to wait and talk.
"If they don't come, who will pay for it?" I said before that a few of them would pay for the expenses, but some of the classmates didn't have any money with them, and besides, should Lao Lian and his girlfriend also have to pay?"
Zhang Wenhu was a little unhappy in his heart, and replied after listening to Zhang Chu's words. If it weren't for this problem, Zhang Wenhu would have jumped out and flipped the table a long time ago.
Although this guy has poor grades, he is not stupid. Talking about pooling money at this time will only make the party worse and worse.
And some people are not necessarily willing to pay this money, or some people don't have so much money on them, which is not very easy to deal with, and people's hearts are like this.
"You call them first, don't talk about the cost. I brought some money with me, and I'll pay for it later. ”
Zhang Chu smiled and replied, when he came over, he deliberately brought nearly 10,000 yuan over. For their consumption in the city at this time, a few thousand yuan for these dozens of people is enough.
"You're going to pay for it? You didn't start this meeting, so why should you pay for it?"
Zhang Wenhu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked in a low voice. He was just dissatisfied with He Jie and a few of them, and started a class reunion, just because he had a little money to put this kind of score, is it interesting?
"Don't worry about it so much, you go and ask them to call first, it's not easy for these classmates in our junior high school to get together, don't break up the relationship. ”
Zhang Chu didn't talk to Zhang Wenhu about this kind of thing, there was no need. If you really have to think about it, this class reunion can't continue, so it's boring.
Zhang Wenhu went over and made a phone call, and said that he would come over immediately. As a result, a group of them waited for ten minutes and still didn't see anyone, Zhang Chu looked at Zhang Wenhu, and then called their squad leader to go out together.
"When you organized the party before, did you decide what to eat?"
Zhang Chu and their squad leader, He Hongwu, were also a little unhappy and regretful in his heart at this time, he shouldn't have gotten together with those guys to do this party.
It is estimated that after tonight passes, I am afraid that many people will be dissatisfied with him. was originally a good heart, but when he encountered such a disgusting thing, he became a person inside and out.
"It's set, but I don't have that much money with me, so I can't serve it first. We can only wait first, otherwise we will make a fool of ourselves if we don't have enough money to pay for it. ”
He Hongwu didn't know what Zhang Chu meant by asking, but he still said it. He only has a few hundred dollars on him, which is not enough for these people to spend together.
"There were only more than 40 of us together, only five tables, and one or two thousand yuan was enough to eat, and I only had a few hundred yuan on me. ”
"Well, you go and tell the restaurant owner to get them ready to serve the food now, and I'll pay for it later." If they wait any longer, they will be hungry, so they can leave a table for them. ”
Zhang Chu didn't say anything bad about anyone, and there was no need. At the moment, when everyone's grievances have not reached the limit, the matter will be solved first, this is a party, and everyone is still having fun.
"Zhang Wenhu, you go and say hello to everyone, if you want to drink, hurry up and order it, and if you drink it, you will serve it immediately!"
Zhang Chu didn't want to come forward much about this matter, just wait for him to pay. After graduating from junior high school for so many years, it's a rare party, so let's leave a good memory for everyone.
The days to come will become more and more cold, and the human affection will become more and more weak. Before the advent of that kind of affectionate era, leave a warm place in the hearts of the people in the class, including yourself, and have a good memory in the future.
Zhang Chu didn't finish high school, and because of his high school majors, he changed classes once in his sophomore year of high school, so there was no contact at all, and only junior high school classmates could contact.
"Zhang Chu, thank you this time, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. It's only been a few years since I graduated, and people have changed, how will we get together in the future?"
He Hongwu saw that Zhang Chu really had so much money on him, and he was relieved, otherwise he, one of the organizers, would have set up a fire tonight.
"It's rare for us classmates to get together, and I have to thank you for organizing everyone to sit and chat together. I haven't seen each other for several years, and after getting married and having children in a few years, I'm afraid I won't know each other anymore. ”
Zhang Chu smiled and didn't say much. The two waited outside for a while, waiting for the food to start serving before heading to their room.
"Here, cheers, meet us for today. ”
The atmosphere in the room was very good, and the little dissatisfaction just now was all gone after the wine and food came up. I haven't seen him for a few years, and no matter what the classmates had at the beginning, they are all in the wine at the moment.
Zhang Chu and the squad leader were rubbing over something, so hurry up and come over and have two drinks first. As cadres, you two should take the lead and not be too grinding. ”
After seeing Zhang Chu and He Hongwu come in, Zhang Wenhu took the lead in leading a group of people to coax. At the beginning, He Hongwu was the squad leader, and Zhang Chu was a member of the study committee, but he, a study committee, never took care of things.
