On the day of Lu Zhan's exhibition, it happened to be New Year's Day, which is commonly known as the solar calendar year here in Green Island City, and there were many people at the Chen family's dinner table on this day, in addition to the Chen family, Lin Changning, Lu Jiangyuan and Ji Junheng and Wei Lin, who stayed in Green Island because of the company's affairs.

"Jun Heng, eat more vegetables, you're welcome, it's the same as at your own home. "Maybe because of her bad attitude in the previous years, now Chen's mother treats Ji Junheng very well, especially Ji Junheng, who knows how to pretend to be stupid in front of his elders, and every time he comes, he coaxes Chen's mother to be very happy. It's hard to make Chen's mother want to dislike him, so much so that Chen's mother once inadvertently sighed, in fact, it would be good if it was Ji Junheng, although she knew that she was joking, but she was still so scared that Chen Anxiu almost fell off the bench. It can also be seen how much Chen's mother likes Ji Junheng.

"Aunt Lin, you don't need to greet me specifically, I've been here so many times, I'm not polite for a long time. ”

Ji Junheng winked smugly at Chen Anxiu, and Chen Anxiu gave him a look of disdain. Every time he encountered such a situation, he had to sigh in his heart, what kind of chaotic generation is this, but if Ji Junheng doesn't call Aunt Lin, does he have to follow tons and tons to call grandma? It sounds even more unreliable.

"If you don't hurry up and eat it, the dishes will be cold. Lin Changning, who was sitting next to him, put a piece of pork ribs into his bowl.

Chen Anxiu looked up and smiled, looking at the people at this big table, Chen's father and Lu Jiangyuan were talking, Zhang Shinian looked back to see the babbling lying on the crib staring at the dinner table, Tianyu and Ton Ton stood up and poured a whole plate of mutton into the hot pot, the soup base was boiling, and a layer of heat was bubbling up, everything looked so calm and peaceful. Chen's mother also went back to the house and brought a bottle of red wine, saying that it was rare to be so lively today.

When the news of Lu Zhan's exhibition came, Chen Anxiu helped to open the red wine, and before a glass was poured, the phone was called by Lu Yaya, and it was Lu Jiangyuan who answered the phone.

After Lu Jiangyuan answered the phone, the first thing he saw was Zhang Shinian, and the second time he saw Lin Changning, his eyes were indescribably complicated, and the most condescending words were said by Chen's father and Chen's mother, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, there is a bit of an urgent matter temporarily, I want to go to the city right now." ”

Father Chen stood up with him and asked, "Are you in a hurry?" You haven't eaten much yet, why don't you hurry up and eat two bites before leaving, it's so cold." ”

"No need, second brother, things are really urgent. ”

"Then I won't keep you, and I'll come over for tea another day. ”

Lu Jiangyuan agreed, Chen Anxiu rushed in front of his father and sent people out, "Uncle Lu, is something wrong?"

Lu Jiangyuan pursed his lips and said, "Zhanzhan was hit by a car at the door of the hotel. Now in the hospital, the situation is not clear. After he finished saying this, he patted Chen Anxiu on the shoulder, "You go to eat first, and I'll go see what's going on." After that, he didn't say anything more, turned around and got in the car and left.

Chen Anxiu was shocked, Lu Zhanzhan was hit by someone? What the hell is going on? Isn't he about to leave Green Island today? Why is it so coincidental that when he was about to leave, he still used the way of being hit? If he didn't understand the situation, he thought that his family was deliberately looking for someone to hit Lu Zhanzhan to retaliate. Risking to get sick, when he was extremely angry, he thought that he wanted to drive to hit Lu Zhanzhan twice, but what ordinary people think and do are completely different things, as long as they don't put it into practice, they can kill people whatever they want in their minds, but once they do it, they have to bear the consequences. He didn't really want Lu Zhanzhan to die.

Was this incident man-made or just an accident? Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, although he didn't understand this person's motive at all, he went back to the house and pulled Wei Lin out without saying a word, "Lu Zhanzhan was hit by a car, did you do this?"

Wei Lin was eating just right, and he was unexpectedly dragged out by Chen Anxiu like this, and he was complaining dissatisfiedly, when he suddenly heard this, he suspected that he had heard it wrong, "What? Lu Zhanzhan was hit? When did it happen? Wouldn't it be just now, I said why is Uncle Lu in such a hurry." ”

"Did you do it?" he hadn't forgotten what he had said to Ton Ton that day. Judging by this man's way of doing things, it seems that he can do it.

"I think so, but as for being so impatient, where is the Lu family so easy to mess with?" Although the Lu family really doesn't have to be before, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is not a family that can move if anyone wants to, for most people in this country, the Lu family is still the kind of family that is out of reach, he really blatantly went to hit Lu Zhanzhan so blatantly, and when he went home without the old man, just a few of his brothers broke his legs. Even if he is really interested in the exhibition on the mainland, he will also think about it in the long run, and he will definitely not be so impulsive.

"So, you didn't do it?" Who could it be? Just an accident? Is it that simple?

Wei Lin's cuffs were crumpled by him, "Why don't you suspect Fourth Uncle, he has more reasons than me, Lu Zhanzhan was injured tons." ”

Chen Anxiu said without thinking, "How could he do such a thing." He didn't dare to say that he knew Zhang Shinian completely, but he knew that Zhang Shinian, who knew Lu Dao, had never put himself on the opposite side of the law, such a simple and crude illegal act was definitely not his style, if that person really wanted to deal with Lu Zhanzhan, it would definitely be ten thousand times more perfect than this.

Wei Lin's eyebrows raised slightly, "It's as if you know the fourth uncle very well." His uncles and brothers sometimes mention the fourth uncle at home, and they have always praised the fourth uncle or the Ji family's low-key and peaceful way of dealing with the world, and finding someone to bump into Lu Zhanzhan is indeed not like what the fourth uncle would do. But seeing Chen Anxiu so sure is still a bit of an eyesore.

In order to avoid unnecessary speculation, Chen Anxiu didn't say anything when he returned to the dinner table, and when he got home, he mentioned this matter to Zhang Shinian, "Do you think this incident will have anything to do with the incident where they were hit a few days ago?"

After hearing this, Zhang Shinian had a touch of contemplation in his eyes, "Whether it is related or not, we may have a little trouble soon." ”

Chen Anxiu really wanted to give Zhang Shi Nian's big hat with a crow's mouth, because less than half an hour after he said this, the police came to the door. The question is about Lu Zhanzhan's collision, and Lu Zhanzhan is very likely to have deliberately murdered in this case, "According to our investigation, Mr. Chen is the only person who has had a conflict with Lu Zhanzhan recently, and the cause is that Lu Zhanzhan almost hit Mr. Chen's two children, is that so?"

The attitude of the person who came was quite kind, and he was not asked to go to the public security bureau to cooperate in making a record, but only said that he came to ask a few questions, but the meaning of this was not very friendly.

"That's right, but after Lu Zhanzhan personally apologized for this matter, our two sides have reconciled. "If you want to talk about the scene, who wouldn't.

"So where is Mr. Chen between nine o'clock in the morning and twelve o'clock in the afternoon today?"

"This New Year's Day, we made dumplings at home in the morning, and our whole family and neighbors can testify. ”

After that, the police asked a few more questions, and Chen Anxiu answered them all right, without letting the other party grasp the obvious handle. The man was obviously a little dissatisfied with this result, this most obvious clue has not made any progress at all, and it is even more difficult to investigate the others, but remembering that before he came, he did not dare to embarrass this person, and it was strange to say, it is said that this request for not embarrassing Chen Anxiu was requested by the victim's family. I really don't know what the people of the Lu family think.

After asking all the questions, Chen Anxiu sent them out of the city, and saw Jiang Xuan who was sitting in the police car and didn't get down, he nodded, Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment, and nodded to him, but the two sides didn't speak.

The police car left, Chen Anxiu returned to the house, and Zhang Shinian walked out of the next room, "Are they all gone?"

"Well, my answer was okay, right?"

Zhang Shinian smiled and said, "It's no problem at all." "It doesn't matter if there's a problem.

Chen Anxiu frowned and said, "But this matter is really strange. ”

After Lu Zhanzhan lived in Green Island for two days, he was transferred to a hospital in Beijing by the Lu family, and Lu Jiangyuan also went back, but there was no news after that, and the police did not come to the door again, and Chen Anxiu gradually stopped thinking about it.

*

Ten days after New Year's Day, it will enter the wax moon, Chen's mother has begun to nag what to prepare for the Spring Festival, Chen Anxiu's store in a variety of New Year's gift boxes are also very popular, in addition to the previous cured meat, mountain goods, lo-mei, dried fruits and eggs, the New Year also has cereals, dried vegetables and seafood gift boxes.

Tons of final exams have just ended, and in a few days it will be time for winter break. Previously, Ton Ton won the second place in the junior high school group in the primary and secondary school student competition organized by the Green Island Education Commission, and it has been delayed until now, and the award ceremony was decided to be held in the small hall of Ton Ton School.

"Brother, if it's okay, I'll go first and help me take a few more award-winning photos. Chen Tianyu put down Chen Anxiu and Mao Mao at the door of Xihe Bilingual School.

"Well, if you don't go, it is estimated that Wen Kai will not be able to hold on. Chen Anxiu dragged the backpack out from the back seat with Mao Mao, Tianyu was originally going to come over today to watch the tons of awards, but the courier company came to a super difficult customer, Wen Kai couldn't handle it, and called Tianyu for help just now.

The school is usually not open to the public, Chen Anxiu is the second time to come here, the first time he accompanied tons of tons to register, in a hurry, did not look carefully, in the middle of a parent-teacher meeting, is Zhang Shinian came over, this time I have time to take a closer look, even in winter, you can see that the environment is really good, there are large areas of green space and lakes, all kinds of teaching buildings, libraries and gymnasiums, etc., think about the high tuition, I finally feel a little comforted.

There are a lot of people in the school today, different school uniforms represent different schools, Chen Anxiu grabbed a student wearing a small suit and a short windbreaker on the side of the road and asked the location of the auditorium, the suit and the short windbreaker are Xihe's winter clothes, tons and tons of winter clothes, he is familiar with it.

It can be seen that the school attaches great importance to this event, a lot of banners were pulled on the huge campus, and there was a performance link at the award ceremony. Because of this, Ton Ton almost didn't die of worry, he thought about it a lot, it seems that he really doesn't have any special skills, and the only piano that can be done has only been studied for less than a year, and he really doesn't have the confidence to perform on stage. The last thing is that Zhang Shinian came up with the idea, saying that it can be played in a two-piano ensemble. He carries tons and tons of them, and even if there is a slight mistake, he can help cover it up. For this reason, the father and son practiced together at home without any trouble, and now it sounds decent.

Zhang Shinian occasionally plays the piano at home, Chen Anxiu is basically music blind and can't hear good or bad, but Ji Junheng boasted that his uncle was of a professional level, so he was relieved, otherwise he was really worried that the father and son would make a fool of themselves on stage together.

"Don't make a noise later. If you want to speak out, I won't take you to see my brother and big daddy. "There are special receptionists at the door of the small hall, and Chen Anxiu stuffed a pacifier in his mouth and hid people under his windbreaker. Looking at this momentum, I also know that today's award ceremony is very formal, and people have decided that they will not allow a baby to go in. Originally, he didn't want to bring this little thing over today, but he didn't know what was going on today, he held everything well, he cried and made a fuss when he didn't see it, and he had no choice but to bring people afterward.

Chen Anxiu walked to the door of the auditorium and showed the invitation, and the person in charge of the reception took a strange look at his bulging windbreaker that was still trembling slightly, and repeatedly confirmed his identity before letting people in.

After successfully smuggling in, Chen Anxiu chose a hidden position, took out the rather cooperative impostor, and put it on his knees.

Mao Mao sat in Chen Anxiu's arms, biting the pacifier in his mouth, seeing so many people, excitedly fanning his little arms up and down, Gu Lu Gu Lu looked at this, Gu Lu Gu Lu looked at that, his eyes were too busy, this cute little appearance attracted a few female parents who noticed that they came over to talk and wanted to hug him.

Chen Anxiu secretly pinched his ass below and signaled him to be quiet, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, and he was still happy.

"Your son is so cute, he doesn't recognize life at all. This is the third person who has said this, "Are you also the parent of today's award-winning student?"

"Yes, my eldest son, second prize in the junior high school category. Chen Anxiu said proudly.

As soon as he said this, the people next to him expressed disbelief, "You look like you're only twenty-five or sixteen years old, how can you have such a big son?"

Chen Anxiu has become accustomed to this. Every time the whole family is together, Zhang Shinian is a ton of fathers, and no one will ever admit that he is wrong, he is an uncle at most.

At this time in the background, Zhang Shinian just took Ton Ton to try the school piano, Ton Ton in the school's art instructor came over to talk to Zhang Shinian with a happy face, and Ton Ton was also surrounded by a few classmates he knew, and said with envy, "Chen Qiuyang, your father is really handsome, he is so handsome, and he plays the piano well." Didn't you see that when you played the piano just now, many senior sisters gathered around the door to watch. ”

Ton Ton looked at Zhang Shinian next to him, there was self-evident pride and joy in his eyes, his two fathers were the best fathers, "You can secretly like it, but my father is already married." ”

Everyone's stunned for a moment, and one person couldn't help but laugh and say, "Chen Qiuyang, do you think you're a little indebted when you say this?"

"Is that true?"

"Damn, today's Chen Qiuyang must be fake, you say, are you Chen Qiuyang's twin brother?"

Zhang Shinian watched tons of people get into a mess with his classmates, although tons of temperament will not like to laugh as much as children of his age, but they are really much more cheerful than before, and they are also comfortable getting along with their classmates, every time the teacher calls home, he has never said that there is any problem in interpersonal communication.

Zhang Shinian and Ton Ton of the show ranked third, the first two Chen Anxiu didn't want to watch it, so they waited for the third, as soon as the father and son came on the stage, the auditorium instantly remembered a brief noise, and then many little girls shouted over there, "So handsome, so handsome." Even the few elderly parents next to Chen Anxiu had their necks stretched a lot. Chen Anxiu quickly stuffed the bottle into his mouth to divert his attention.

Fortunately, the two of them are playing on the piano, not singing and needing to face the audience all the time, otherwise there may be something, when the two of them finished playing, the applause from the audience was more enthusiastic than the previous two times, Chen Anxiu was very suspicious, this applause was given to this performance or to people.

Anyway, someone still couldn't get enough of it, "Actually, the father and son don't have to do anything, it's enough to just stand on the stage and stand for people to admire, and the child's mother is really blessed to face such two people every day." However, when Zhang Shinian stepped down not long ago, he came straight to Chen Anxiu's side, and when he took over the little fat man who had opened his arms to him early with an extremely natural expression, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

So far, Mao Mao is quite good, Chen Anxiu is finally a little relieved, but his relief did not last long, the accident happened quickly, and so on won the third prize of the junior high school group of a cadre down, the second prize of the five people went up to receive the certificate and the certificate, the host handed the microphone to the mouth of Ton Ton wanted to say that they said two words, Ton Ton sounded, Mao Mao suddenly like a wound rabbit, the ears were unkempt, facing the stage, the mouth also made a "Ya Ya Ya ......" The sound of the sound, the whole body was moving in a hurry, and seeing that Ton Ton ignored him, his movements became bigger and bigger.

When Chen Anxiu saw this, he hurriedly stuffed the camera into Zhang Shinian's arms, "You can do the rest." After speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he picked up the presumptuous and walked out. Seeing this, he screamed, and now Chen Anxiu has really become the eyes of the whole auditorium.

Chen Anxiu almost wanted to find a hole to get into, but he stiffly turned around and apologized to everyone embarrassedly. Someone let out a good-natured laugh.

"Dad......" Tons and Zhang Shinian rushed over.

As soon as he heard the sound of tons, he immediately got better, twisted his body and let him hug him.

Since the accident, Ton Ton has been particularly indulgent to him, causing him to become more and more clingy to his brother now.

The final result is that the other winners are all holding flowers and certificates in one hand when taking pictures, and Ton Ton is holding a little fat man in his arms, this little fat man is quite unconscious, and the moment the flash light is turned on, a bubble pops in his nose.

After this trouble, their whole family can be regarded as completely famous, and after receiving the award, Chen Anxiu couldn't sit down here, so the family of four quietly quit in advance.

"Hug you, it's a shame to be embarrassed today. As soon as he left the school, Chen Anxiu disgusted Zhang Shinian.

Zhang Shinian didn't dislike him at all, kissed his forehead and said, "Are you happy today?"

showed his face once in front of so many people, and of course he was very happy, grabbing the scarf around Zhang Shinian's neck and stuffing it into his mouth.

"You can't eat this, it's a shame. ”

Chen Anxiu ignored the two of them, "Let's go." Yesterday, I said that it was good, and after receiving the award, if the weather allows, I will go out for a walk.

Coming out of the ton ton school, two intersections to the south is Ludao No. 1 Middle School, which is also the high school where Chen Anxiu once studied, and he has not walked here for many years, and he is pleased to find that some small restaurants are still there.

Chen Anxiu pointed to a bacon patty shop and Zhang Shinian said, "I liked this one the most back then, as long as it was ten yuan, there was a flatbread, a serving of bacon, shredded green onions, pickles and millet porridge were all free." Why don't we eat here at noon today?"

More than ten years have passed, this bacon patty shop has not changed much, the small room, the crowded tables and stools, and the green lattice plastic tablecloth on the table, the proprietress is still the original one, the appearance can still be recognized, but the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are a lot deeper, too long, she doesn't remember the teenager she frequented back then, looking at the clothes of a few people, she obviously hesitated, "Are you here to eat?"

"Yes, hostess, let's get three points of bacon flatbread, give more pickles, just cabbage, not radish. ”

She laughed, "Okay, okay, come in and sit." ”

When asked, the price hasn't changed much over the years, but the food is obviously not as delicious as I remembered, the cake is a little oily, and the bacon is only a few thin slices, but the thick millet porridge and the sour and hot kimchi are still just as delicious.

When he came out of the bacon shop and turned to the school gate, Zhang Shinian asked, "You have been here for three years?"

"Yes, at first it was on the old building on the left, and then after the new building on the right side got up, it moved to the new building, and the second and third years of high school were all on the new building, and Ji Junheng and I were on the third floor to count the second classroom from the left. ”

"Is it always a pity that I didn't go to college?"

"Sort of, but now that they're so big, I don't think much of it. ”

At this time, an older man came out of the school, stood still not far from them, and called out tentatively, "Chen Anxiu?"

"Teacher Wang. "It's Wang Junyong, Chen Anxiu's homeroom teacher in the third year of high school, and he hasn't changed much, and he recognizes it at a glance.

Teacher Wang patted him on the shoulder and said, "I looked like you in it just now, why didn't you come to the class reunion a few days ago, I haven't seen you for ten years, right? Didn't you go to the army back then? This is back, where are you now?" This teacher taught physics back then, Chen Anxiu did well in mathematics, physics and chemistry back then, and he was also a physics class representative for him, and the teacher-student relationship was not bad.

Chen Anxiu smiled and said, "It's been a few years since I came back, and I did it myself at home, but I didn't mix it well, and I was afraid that I would embarrass you." ”

"Well, this reason is very sufficient, a sentence is not well mixed, and even the teacher doesn't come to see it. ”

If the teacher continued to say this, Chen Anxiu was really embarrassed, and he hurriedly told him, "I know that Lu is wrong, Mr. Wang, I will definitely make a special trip to see you another day." ”

Wang Junyong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you are all busy, you don't need to come over, you have time to come to the house to drink tea, and now you have nothing to do when you retire, I am happy that you children are here." ”

Chen Anxiu agreed repeatedly, the teacher and the student talked for a while, and Wang Junyong saw that there were still people around him, so he didn't keep much.

When he walked a long way, he laughed at him, "Dad, it turns out that you are also afraid of teachers." "When I was talking to the teacher just now, my father's waist was almost bent to the ground.

Chen Anxiu wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his head and said, "Nonsense, who is not afraid of teachers." "Even though it's been more than ten years since I got out of school.

It was a sunny afternoon, the wind was very small, the sky after the snow was blue and translucent, under the cedar was a large patch of firethorn full of red fruits, someone on the side of the road was pushing a cart to sell fried chestnuts, green radishes and boiled corn, Chen Anxiu led the ton to walk in front, Zhang Shinian followed behind with Mao Mao, the two of them are wearing the same windbreaker today, both of them are tall people with long legs and thin waists, and they are extremely stylish in windbreakers, but one is elegant, and the other is more handsome.

There are still some traces of residual snow in the withered yellow grass, but the oncoming wind is cool, not cold at all, and the weather is sunny in winter, walking to the streets of Green Island City, you can hear the church bell from a long distance.

Green Island City is so quiet, Chen Anxiu will not know what kind of storm the Lu family is experiencing because of Lu Zhanzhan's injury in Beijing, a few hundred kilometers away.

Lu Zhanzhan is the youngest son of Lu Jiangyuan's second brother Lu Zhiyuan, he followed Lu Yaya to play on Green Island this time, but when he came back, he became like this, Lu Yaya, who is an elder brother, is certainly an unshirkable responsibility, but the culprit is the one who deliberately drove into Lu Zhanzhan.

After Lu Zhanzhan woke up, he insisted that it was definitely Chen Anxiu's doing, otherwise it was Zhang Shinian, he thought about it, and he would definitely not be able to escape these two people, things were so coincidental that it was difficult for people not to associate with them.

Lu Zhiyuan was very angry, "What kind of person is this Chen Anxiu, how can he dare to be so lawless and openly drive into people? Didn't Zhan Zhan already apologize for doing something wrong? Why did he do this? If he was not satisfied with Zhan Zhan's apology, what requirements could he make, what was this." ”

"Second brother, this matter has not been investigated clearly, don't draw conclusions so quickly, it may not be Chen Anxiu's doing. He's not that kind of person. Lu Jiangyuan said.

"Third child, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that this matter is too strange, Zhanzhan hasn't been to Green Island much before, it's impossible to provoke anyone there, and we don't know about this Chen Anxiu, how can you guarantee that he is not this kind of person." ”

Lu Zhanzhan was irritable and blurted out, "Chen Anxiu is the third uncle's own son, of course the third uncle is partial to him." ”

As soon as he said this, Lu Jiangyuan's eyes sank imperceptibly, Zhan Zhan really knew the Tao, and Na Yaya was self-evident.

"What did you say?" Lu Zhiyuan couldn't believe what he heard, "Zhan Zhan, what did you say?"

Lu Zhanzhan looked at Lu Jiangyuan's face, and Lu Jiangyuan replied on his behalf, "Second brother, Chen Anxiu is my son, my own son." ”
