CHAPTER 40
Li Xia was a little distressed, she originally liked Chen Chuan very much: "Why listen to your Uncle Song, eat takeout directly, you must be cooking this month, right?" Those three boys, especially Song Jia," Song Jia protested when he heard this: "Why just say I'm the only one!" Li Xia ignored him at all, and continued to say to Chen Chuan: "It turns out that when I arrived at the community with your Uncle Song, I called those restaurants, but others said that you didn't go to dinner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info I just thought hey, Song Jia is blessed, fortunately there is Chen Chuan. β
Chen Chuan's face was so red from her praise that he couldn't raise his head: "No ......" He said softly: "Song Jia also helped a lot......
"Of course he helped with the food, and of course helped a lot." Song Chu closed the refrigerator door and came over, first glared at Song Jia fiercely, and then said to Chen Chuan approvingly: "Song Jia has you as a classmate, it's really his luck!" The man's powerful big hand put on Chen Chuan's head and rubbed it: "Uncle Song praises you!" Don't be embarrassed! β
Song Jia secretly grimaced with Chen Chuan on the side, Zhao Mo and Fang Ping laughed on the side, and Chen Chuan, he struggled to hold back the red smoke rings at that moment.
He misses his dad.
The next day, Fang Ping and Zhao Mo's parents also rushed over, and the two parents had already heard Song Chu talk about the life of the four children for a month on the phone, and when they arrived at the Song family, they had the ambition to praise Chen Chuan as hard as they didn't want money--the kind of sincerity. In the end, Chen Chuan blushed and fled. As soon as the other three boys wanted to follow Chen Chuan into the study, they were ordered by their parents to sit down.
Song Jia squeezed a sad look at Zhao Mo and Fang Ping: Look, the feature film has started at this moment.
Chen Chuan fell on the narrow marching bed and laughed sullenly - he deliberately left a crack in the door and did not close it tightly, and sure enough, the voice in the living room came in word for word: "Song Jia, what did I say before I left?" Yes? Look at your bedroom, ah, when you get up in the morning, the quilt is not folded and the bed is not cleaned up, just like a dog kennel! β
"Fang Ping, look at your papers, you have the most mistakes in the papers of several people! It's the least! It was Fang Ping's father who was in the Education Bureau who spoke. The sound of the paper shaking came in along the crack in the door, and Chen Chuan peeked at it, Fang Ping's father was holding a certain math paper that Fang Ping wanted to destroy and destroy.
"Zhao Mo, how do you feel about math now?" Chen Chuan glanced at Zhao Mo's father and recognized it, compared with his son who was as poisonous as a cobra, Zhao's father was gentle and elegant, he was simply two kinds of people, "Dad is not demanding, if you improve your mathematics to a passing level, you will have a much greater grasp of the college entrance examination, don't be nervous now......
Three fathers, three styles. As for the mothers of the three families, they got together early to prepare lunch with laughter and laughter, and Chen Chuan could occasionally hear a sentence: "Fang Braincase, you have a light hand, Fang Ping is not smart anymore, don't be stupid!" β
What followed was Fang Ping's complaint full of grief and indignation: "Mom! I'm not your son yet! β
The living room kitchen burst into laughter.
Chen Chuan also rolled around on the bed and laughed - he rarely had this kind of leisure time, he didn't think about anything, he didn't worry about anything, just like his classmates outside the door, only worried about his grades and scores.
The smile gradually faded from the boy's face, and he let out a small sigh and found himself homesick.
Lunch was eaten at Song's house. The three mothers teamed up to make a table of good dishes, and the four boys were also persuaded by Fang Ping's father to drink a can of beer - although Song Chu's face was stiff at that time, but the funny Fang Ping's father smiled and said: "Now you can look at me, look at what you Uncle Song is doing - he is not as good-looking as me." β
Song Chu almost squirted out the food in his mouth.
After an hour's break after the meal, the parents began to fulfill the promise they had made a month earlier - they had come up with three test papers out of nowhere and asked the boys to complete them in 90 minutes, covering all the key points of a month's tuition.
Even Chen Chuan was shocked.
Zhao Mo's father said with a smile: "This is the paper we asked three teachers to jointly make, in order to see if you are attentive in this month's tutoring, especially in the more weak subjects, whether you are serious." β
Chen Chuan believed that his words were definitely for Zhao Mo.
The four of them are once again in an exam crisis after a relaxed meal. Fortunately, despite the hard work of this month, they did put their hearts into it. An hour and a half later, in addition to Song Jia, who has always been used to picking bones in Song Chu's eggs, Fang Ping, who is too hippie and smiling, although Zhao Mo's mathematics is indeed not very optimistic (but it is definitely a reborn improvement compared to before), and Chen Chuan's English also made parents a little worried, the four boys escaped after repeated instructions from adults.
That night, the parents boldly let go of their wallets and let the boys have a good time, and it was close to twelve o'clock before the four boys returned to Song's house - their luggage was still there, and they said that they wanted to go to Chen Chuan's house to play, and the parents discussed that they would simply wait for the children to come back from Chen Chuan's house to pick up people.
Chen Chuan got up early the next morning, and he quickly packed his belongingsβa few clothes, a pile of textbooks and papers (although Song Jia asked Chen Chuan to stay at his house until the beginning of the school year, Chen Chuan immediately objected), and the souvenirs that Song Chu brought him from Beijing, all of which were sorted out and stuffed into his school bag.
Then he washed up lightly and went into the kitchen. In short, when Song Chu's family and the other three children got up, the hot rice porridge had already been placed on the table, the hot buns, the cut side dishes, and even the dishes and chopsticks were set.
Li Xia said to Chen Chuan with emotion and love: "Oh, you kid, sleep more in the morning!" Look at Song Jia and a few of them, they didn't get up until now. You wait for Auntie to get up and do it for you. β
"I can't sleep a little when I think about going home today......" Chen Chuan was a little embarrassed, as if he was having an unpleasant time at Song's house, but he did wake up at a little after four o'clock and couldn't sleep anymore, turned on a small lamp in the study and memorized the words until half past five, and finally couldn't stay still.
The other three people have become accustomed to eating Chen Chuan's cooking this month, and Song Chu and his family are still sitting comfortably at the table. Song Chu only nodded and said, "Good boy." By the way, I casually covered Song Jia's head and almost put him in the rice bowl, so I didn't say anything more. On the contrary, Li Xia really felt sorry for Chen Chuan, forced him to the chair, and went to the kitchen to fry more than a dozen poached eggs.
After eating this breakfast, Chen Chuan was about to go home.
Although Song Chu and his wife both told Chen Chuan that they wanted to send him home, Chen Chuan blushed and said that he didn't want to say anything. In the end, Song Chu said that he would send them to the county seat, and then let the four boys take the county bus to Chen Chuan's house by themselves.
Shrewd as Song Chu and Li Xia of course could see why Chen Chuan didn't want them to send it, and they felt sorry for this sensible child, Song Chu wanted Song Jia to see other people's living environment and get a good education. In short, although Chen Chuan said that Song Jia and they didn't have to go, they could go to the county seat, but the other three people went home with him.
This is a very rare and precious experience for Chen Chuan.
Song Chu did what he said. When the four children arrived in the county seat, even Song Jia was not allowed to go to his grandfather's house, "When you come back from Chen Chuan's house, you will come directly to your grandfather's house." Song Chu instructed his son, "Be polite when you are a guest at someone else's house, do you hear it!" β
Song Jia nodded again and again, and promised, "I know, I know." β
After tossing all morning, several people who sent large bags and small bags to the couple - several parents said that Chen Chuan was so grateful for taking care of three people this month, and it was not good for classmates to send money, so they bought a lot of things for the Chen family to express their gratitude, and Chen Chuan had no chance to shirk - on the middle bus, Song Chu repeatedly told the other three people, especially after Song Jia, finally saw the four children leave.
Chen Chuan's heart has not been beating normally since he stepped on the minibus. He almost said you guys should not come, but he swallowed it back the moment he blurted it out. Several parents know how he is, they really like him, and they feel sorry for him, maybe Chen Chuan two years ago would not hesitate to refuse Song Jia to his house, but now Chen Chuan has learned more things, he knows that at least the three people in front of him, insisting on going to his house are not for those boring sympathies and cheap pity, they really want to see the place where he grew up, as friends.
The road has been rebuilt once in the past two years, so that the three boys who grew up in the city were spared the fate of the bouncing car. Before going home, Chen Chuan called his father once and told him that his classmates were coming to the house as guests: "Dad, you can come to the town to pick us up when the time comes, they have never been to the village." β
Although he had already greeted his father, Chen Chuan didn't expect Chen Aiguo to appear in front of him in such a way.
A real horse-drawn carriage.
He was stunned to watch Chen Aiguo waving a whip and carrying a carriage to stop beside the four people, and he felt eye-opening: "Dad, where did you get this thing!?" β
Chen Aiguo glared at him: "What is this thing called?" Then he immediately changed his face and turned his head to smile at the other three people and said, "You are Chuan Wazi's classmates, huh?" β
His native accent was very strong, and the three of them listened for a while before they reacted. Song Jia hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Hello uncle!" We are Chen Chuan's classmates! Come here to play and disturb uncle! β
Chen Aiguo was clumsy, laughing and rubbing his hands while saying, "Don't bother, don't bother." Then he took the things from the boys' hands and put them on the carriage, and said again and again, "Get on the carriage, get on the carriage, the uncle on the carriage has been washed, it is not dirty, you can sit!" β
Fang Ping was the first to smile and said: "I used to ride that kind of small carriage when I was a child, and this is the first time to ride an authentic carriage, I will get on first, I will go first." Jumping up like a monkey, Song Jia followed behind him, and finally Zhao Mo honestly said to Chen Aiguo: "Thank you, uncle." β
Chen Chuan was startled when he saw this carriage, and then remembered that his family did have such a car, when the village road was not good, Chen Aiguo helped the villagers transport fertilizer or something, it was many years ago, and then the road was built, Chen Aiguo's carriage was not used, his family did not raise horses, and the car was also thrown into a corner of the dam, which is usually used to put sundries or something.
This time Chen Chuan took his classmates home, Chen Aiguo specially went to the house of a cousin who raised horses to borrow the most powerful one, and brushed out the carriage early, and even took the family to clean it well. I have to say that something in Chen Chuan's bones is like him.
Chen Aiguo called Chen Chuan: "You don't get in the car yet!" Chen Chuan pursed his lips and smiled, jumped briskly to his father and sat down, Chen Aiguo looked at him and asked him to sit in the back, he squinted his eyes and smiled with a rare childishness: "This is my car!" β
