Chapter 233: Return
Hongchen got on the plane to go abroad, hoping that this time the plane would go smoothly and nothing would go wrong.
But it doesn't hurt to think about it, and it is said that flying is the safest way to travel.
The stewardess poured a cup of coffee, Hongchen took a sip, reached out and took out a piece of beef jerky from his arms, which had no taste, rested on the coffee table, and watched a kitten take it in its mouth and finish it.
A big cat next to her, holding half a piece of bread in her mouth, pushed it to Hongchen, Hongchen suddenly smiled, of course the bread can't be eaten, but she still has to put it away, and let the cats who often sneak to her house to play after she go back to see.
As a cat, how can you catch mice?
You can't give a gift to a mouse, there are many other species, even if you catch a vole, it is alive, and it is better than a dead mouse.
The pets in Hongchen's family, the gifts every year are rats, hey, the sad tears in them, how can others know?
Touching these kittens that others couldn't see, Hongchen blinked: "Actually, you saved Jiang Fei, didn't you?" ”
That little star, don't look at being bullied by cats all the time, but it was the cats who saved him.
If it weren't for this group of cats to protect him, something would have happened to him a long time ago, where could he be lucky enough to wait until he went to the rescue?
"He always bullies you, why do you still think about him?"
The kittens twisted their heads especially arrogantly and dissipated in the air.
Hongchen was very curious about this matter, and investigated it for this purpose.
It seems that Jiang Fei likes to bully cats, and once hung the kitten upside down on the roof and spun around, which was the most serious one.
But. His heart was not dark to the end, and in the middle of the meal at home, he heard the sound of rain, remembered that he had tied a cat, so he hurried back, but he didn't expect to see a few hairy children throwing that kind of cannon at the kitten.
Somehow, he suddenly became angry, taught the children a lesson, and let the kitten go.
This guy can be regarded as a typical example of only allowing the state officials to set fires and not allowing the people to light lamps.
When he turned around, he still recruited cats and dogs, and wanted to bully and bully small animals when he saw them. What steps on the tail does not spread the foot. Grabbing the cat and shaving the beautiful fur is no less, but he never really hurts the pet's body except for hanging the kitten once.
Hongchen smiled.
It's kind of interesting.
Animals have a better heart to repay their kindness than people. No wonder those people are now. than getting along with people. Prefer to have a cat or a dog or something.
Hongchen thought about it, drew a talisman on the plane, and then got off the plane. I mailed an international long distance package.
Jiang Fei is also a little star, and he usually has fans who mail him gifts, but he usually doesn't open it himself, and this time I don't know why, I just looked at a package that was very unpleasant, so I wanted to open it, but I didn't expect that there was only one peace blessing inside.
Peace and happiness are peace and blessings, it is always the hearts of fans.
That night, Jiang Fei had a strange dream.
He dreamed that a very special and terrifying black bug pounced on him, and then a group of kittens around him, Hulala, suddenly surrounded him and protected him, and the worm was squirming back and forth outside, unable to enter him.
He screamed as hard as he could, but he couldn't hear his own voice.
He wanted to wake up, but he couldn't.
The next day, the circles under my eyes were dark.
I had such dreams one after another, and I did it for a whole month.
For a month, his little assistant watched him hold a milky, cute kitten in his arms all day long.
But he didn't seem to like this little thing at all, and scared him at every turn, but the kitten was not afraid of him at all, he had a cold face, and this little thing only let his ass face him every time, and liked to put on a - hey, this kid is really ignorant, and he doesn't care about it like him.
The cold face with a particularly well-behaved warm cat made people micro, blog, and for a while, it became famous.
Many little fans also said that cats, like their owners, are all tsundere.
Originally, because of the coma incident, his popularity has accumulated to a certain extent, and now there are a few die-hard fans.
Hongchen didn't do anything superfluous, he didn't even care about the follow-up of this coma incident, he couldn't bully no one in the country, and when the national power was mobilized, even the ghosts and gods were afraid.
She also got a pet starling and continued her travel career.
…………
In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Central South University, banner recruitment.
The 150th anniversary celebration is about to take place.
This celebration is grand.
The school has sent out invitations to graduates from all over the country.
Tiannan Haibei, whether it is successful or not very satisfactory, almost everyone who can come is here.
However, the most energetic are obviously those students who are in high positions or have a lot of money.
There are not many high-ranking people, this kind is too busy, I really can't spare time, and there are few really rich people, this part is definitely more expensive than money, and now this group of people looks like people, full of swagger, most of them are mixed into small civil servants, or they are opening a company, and the benefits are not bad.
The mediocre class will always occupy the majority.
It feels good for a group of classmates to get together, and after working, I always miss my college career.
"It's still a blessing when I was a student, hey!"
Li Jian was in school back then, and he used to be a student president, out of society, ten years have passed, and his work and life have been stumbling, but now he has married a wife and had children.
"Binzi, look at people, Gao Xiaowei's kid, used to play games all day long at school, a dozen is a day, let's say that's what happened in his life, and now there are five people and six people, I heard that he started as a game booster, and now he opens his own game company, and the bigger he goes, he has his own products, and his family has hundreds of millions."
There is also the one who is giving a speech on the stage, who was not brilliant back then, a nerd, always ridiculed, and now he is a famous writer and philanthropist.
“…… It's called Shao Feng, right? I donated another library to our school, and I heard that it was given by a big boss. Donate in his name. ”
"Hu Wei has become a star, a big star, she just played a marriage era last month, she played the little mother-in-law, and her daughter-in-law is the same age, which is quite interesting."
Li Jian talked for a long time, and his friend Wang Bin, who was in the same dormitory, looked straight at him.
looked at him and saw Xia Hongchen, who was also a man of the year back then.
Sitting not far in front of them, playing with his phone with his head down, headphones still plugged in his ears. It seems to be absent-minded.
Li Jiandeng also closed his voice. Ban Yan sighed: "She still looks so beautiful!" ”
Ten years have passed, and time has not stained her with any dust.
There are many girls of the same level and the same department next to him, gossiping. It is always inevitable to mention the more elegant characters of the year. Red Dust is one of them.
"But I don't seem to have seen her much in the group. Probably not very well mixed. ”
In the class group, there are generally good mixes and more speeches. It's not as good as it should be, but it often doesn't talk much.
Hongchen vaguely heard someone behind her say her, and she didn't mind, and looked up to listen to the school leaders in front of her.
Wang Dandan: They have something to do today, come a little late, and they can't miss the next class gathering, anyway, it's not their turn to go on stage to say something.
"Hello, you're classmate Xia, right?"
I was chatting with a few friends outside from my mobile phone, when I heard someone next to her call her, I looked back, the person sitting next to me was a little bald, with a beer belly, and the smile on his face was very reserved, "I'm Zhang Guo, this is my business card, I don't know if you remember?" ”
Hongchen took it and just smiled.
She really doesn't remember, but it's definitely not from their class, and she can still recognize the classmates in her class.
The business card is written as the general manager of Rainbow Film and Television Company.
Rainbow Film and Television Company...... I seem to be a little impressed.
Hongchen blinked, and sat and listened to this Zhang Guo boasting, how many stars are in the company, what movies have been made, and he has to go abroad tomorrow, and he really can't stay for a long time, so the school leaders originally wanted him to speak on stage, but he was not embarrassed to go, for fear that it would be bad if he couldn't leave after delaying time.
"If Xia is young, he will also come to our company to develop, he will definitely become famous, it's not too late, look at our Wenwen, she is now a famous domestic movie star, amazing."
Hongchen was stunned.
If it hadn't been for the man, she wouldn't have recognized it.
Ming Wenwen also looked back expressionlessly at this time, glanced at Hongchen, nodded, and looked cold.
She wore heavy makeup, and sat a place separated from Hongchen, but she was no longer the same as before.
In the past, she was a beautiful woman, and she was beautiful, but she was not particularly beautiful, but now she is very gorgeous, and there are traces of knives on her facial features.
Pretty is indeed a lot pretty, but old.
Underneath the thick foundation, there are wrinkles and macular spots that can't be covered, and the skin is saggy, and it doesn't look like it's in its thirties, but it looks like it's in its forties.
She's lucky, though.
It's not surprising to think about it, she has paid a huge price, and she can no longer look forward to the next life, and in this life, she must live longer.
Zhang Guo also babbled and spoke.
A sneer hooked the corner of Ming Wenwen's mouth: "It's not easy to mix in the entertainment industry now, I don't know how many rookies to add every year, it's different from before, do you want her to join the company?" Look at those sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls who don't eat her! ”
Zhang Guofei rolled his eyes.
What does this damn girl know, can those young people have this style and temperament?
The celebration was not over yet, Hongchen's mobile phone shook, she answered the phone and withdrew, Zhang Guo was still a little unwilling, but in the end, it was not good to stop it like this, anyway, when she saw someone, there was always a chance to get in touch.
As soon as Hongchen left the school, there were two young officers who were responsible for guiding the way, and they got into a military vehicle, and she sent a message to Wang Dandan and them, and they would get together privately in a few days.
There is no way, they are all out of society, it is not a student era, there are always things to do, and it is not easy for everyone to get together.
Wang Dandan, a few of them can understand very well.
At the end of the speech, the celebration of Central South University finally began.
The guys from the Chinese department got together, drank a little wine, several old classmates drank too much, and began to sing loudly in their mouths, what sister you sit on the bow of the boat, brother walks on the shore and the like, they are all old-fashioned old songs, but everyone sings and feels that they are more than ten years younger all of a sudden.
Ming Wenwen is also a little famous now, although it has been ten years. Now that she has been reduced to the eighteenth line, she has also been to the second and third lines back then, and many classmates still know her, and they also persuade her to drink diligently at this time, and let her sing a song.
Among these classmates, the depression in Ming Wenwen's heart finally dissipated a little, and she was unconsciously interested.
"By the way, do you know where Xia Hongchen is now? I don't think I've heard of her. ”
Others inquired and didn't know much.
Wang Dandan and the others just came over. Because of being late. Forget about three glasses of wine, replace wine with tea, and drink it reluctantly.
"Red Dust?" Wang Dandan smiled, "I'm busy all day." I opened my own studio. Help people settle a little bit of a dispute. ”
She said vaguely. The others don't understand either, but it doesn't feel like it's going to be as good as it could be.
"It doesn't look good."
"But I've seen Xia Hongchen, and she still looks so beautiful. She was also young, so scared that I didn't dare to take a photo with her, standing together, I didn't look like people of the same era. ”
Ming Wenwen's face froze.
Xia Hongchen, Xia Hongchen, it's her again, why does this person always refuse to disappear!
After so many years, she didn't want to think about that person too much, as long as she didn't want to, that person didn't seem to appear, and she wouldn't mess up the good opportunity she had so hard get.
After talking for a while, Ming Wenwen's expression softened a little - yes, what else does Xia Hongchen have now? It's not that she has no money, no power, and is mediocre, even if she is not popular now, she has been beautiful.
"Xia Hongchen, this name is so familiar."
Speaking here, he didn't speak just now, but he was brought by his girlfriend as a vase to show off a young man in a straight suit suddenly said.
Frowning and pondering, he clapped his hands after thinking for a long time, "Central South University, Xia Hongchen, I remember, it seems that she was the winner of a Chinese Pulitzer Prize for Journalism the year before last, she didn't go to accept the award, let another person receive it, you may not have seen that group of works, but you have all heard of it." ”
A few people who are more familiar with international affairs are clear.
"No, that's really a person, in fact, I know, I just didn't think about my old classmates."
That set of photos is the story of a Red Cross volunteer who accidentally rescued a child, provoked two countries to chase and kill, and escaped from the siege.
It happened last year, on the battlefield.
It is said that it is a battlefield, but in fact, if it were not for the trouble, everyone would not know that there is still a war in a certain corner of the world, just like countless hidden small-scale wars in the world.
There was a war refugee, a three-year-old girl, who ran to the battlefield to save her cat, and a volunteer, in order to save the girl, had to blow up the arms to mobilize the enemy, forcing the two sides to stop the fighting, and because of the secrets involved, they were chased for thirteen days.
What's even more bizarre is that there is actually a photographer who accompanied the whole process and uploaded the photos and video materials taken.
The fact that the photographer still won the Pulitzer Prize was so strange that it was rumored at the time.
The photographer is Chinese, that is, Hongchen.
A group of classmates listened with straight eyes, and they just didn't know what to say!
"I think the photographer seems to be a Ph.D. from Princeton University?"
"That's right, I studied in our Zhongnan as an undergraduate, and later obtained three doctorates, in the United Kingdom and the United States, I remember very clearly, it is called Xia Hongchen, who is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, absolutely can't be wrong."
Everyone: "......"
Suddenly, there was a feeling that the life of the old classmates was very enjoyable and exciting, and they could be put on the big screen casually.
"It's like you're in two worlds."
Wang Dandan and the others also sighed and sighed.
At the end of the celebration, the students went home and went back to their daily lives.
Since then, Xia Hongchen's news has been gone.
Even if it is a relatively close classmate, it is good to be able to contact once or twice a year, the world is like this, as time goes by, people are getting older and older, there are more and more things that need to be paid attention to in life, and no matter how good the friendship between old classmates is, it seems that it is difficult to get together often when they are not in one place, thousands of miles apart.
Many, many years later, everyone's hair was gray, their children had grown up, Wang Dandan and a few of their classmates who were close to Hongchen suddenly received a call from the capital, inviting them to attend Ms. Xia Hongchen's funeral and memorial service.
Although it is not a state funeral, the treatment is really not low.
Old classmates get together. Watching the star-studded gathering of generals and high-ranking officials at the funeral, everyone had to admit that in their lives, there were still a few good classmates who were so outstanding that they were shocking.
…………
The plums are sour and soft, and the plantain is green and the window screen. The day is long and sleeps ruthlessly, and watches children catch willow flowers.
Hongchen sat lazily in front of the window, watching Luo Niang lead a group of little palace maids to kick the shuttlecock outside.
Luo Niang can't do it, it's still Xiao Yan who plays well.
She can kick flowers, up and down. Suddenly left. Suddenly, to the right, sometimes jumping and kicking, and sometimes sitting and kicking.
Hongchen couldn't help but yawn again, this dream. It's a long, long time. It seems like before she came back. Are you going to go to the grave of your parents?
In fact, their parents are very happy, they spend their old age in peace, and my sister also gave birth to a pair of children and grandchildren for them. Two big fat boys.
She felt that the original owner should be very satisfied, except that she did not get married and have children, she did everything she could as a woman.
Not to mention anything else, just that she took back several doctorate titles in one go, isn't it enough for the old couple to brag?
Don't think she doesn't know, the old lady even went out to buy a fritter, and she also saw the stitches, and found all kinds of excuses to talk to others about her daughter's study abroad for another doctorate.
She felt quite bored, except that the Ph.D. in chemistry was a little difficult, it should be said that there were several points of difficulty, what kind of law, psychology, it was just like that, not as difficult as she thought at the beginning.
At that time, when Hongchen decided to continue his studies, he was ready, he would die for the rest of his life, and he would not die if he couldn't finish reading, but he didn't expect Shun Shundang to also study, which was not difficult.
Those memories turned illusory, and she felt a little like a dream, but it was clearer than a dream, and it felt good.
In fact, even if she doesn't blur her memory, it's nothing to her, she's already in the twilight, and she's not really a beautiful girl.
"County Lord, County Lord."
As soon as she saw Hongchen lazily probing, Luo Niang ran away from the group of little palace maids, and it was rare that she had no calm energy at all, so she hurriedly ran over.
Hongchen stretched out his hand to stop her, drank a cup of tea first, and looked up, his room was very elegantly decorated, although every ornament was valuable, but there was no vulgar smell of nouveau riche.
An ancient bronze incense burner with cigarette smoke.
In this kind of life, she once didn't even dare to think about it, and she should be content and happy, so even if she is still a little troubled by this, she still has to take responsibility for it.
"These few months, how is the queen mother?"
Luo Niang saw that her county lord didn't want her to talk more, so she had to swallow back the inquiry again, and whispered: "It's still the same, I keep saying that I'm sick." ”
But Niangniang has been sick for more than ten years, and they say that they are sick every year, and they are outside the palace, and they don't know whether they are really sick or fake.
Hongchen frowned: "It shouldn't be like this." ”
She is now a cultivator, paying more attention to the tongue, language and other things, in fact, there is really power, good people talk about illness all day long, and the disease may find her body, just say Niangniang, that is, the body is fine, smelling medicine all day long, holding back in the palace and not going out, the body is gradual, and it is difficult to be healthy again.
"I'll go back and see Niangniang."
After a moment of silence, Hongchen sighed, "I already know about it, you go down first, let me think about it." ”
After coming back, she was still a little confused, after all, over here, Luo Niang and the others only thought that she was in retreat for a month, but she was not just a month after all, so it would take some time for her brain to recover from such an open environment immediately.
Luo Niang sighed, wilted, turned around three times in one step, and finally left.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal, and it was already set before she went on that so-called task, and she had to go to a flower-viewing feast.
It is said that it is a flower viewing banquet, but it is just to let the unmarried nobles in the capital gather together, so that those ladies who still lack a daughter-in-law to serve in the family can 'choose' their daughters-in-law.
Since Hongchen became the county lord, she has also participated in this kind of banquet a few times, and it is not a big deal, the problem is that she is a little stunned now.
In modern society, I have been to blind date banquets many times, but where were so many people judging their character at that time? There are not so many cumbersome etiquette requirements, at this time she even knelt and sat and felt that her legs hurt, and she wanted to fall down after standing for a while, although she said that the etiquette rules or something, she had not forgotten it, and she had to immediately change her body into a delicate and reserved queen's goddaughter, the queen granddaughter of Rong'an, the lord of Rong'an, who was a little embarrassed.
Hongchen was embarrassed by two teas, so he beckoned Luo Niang and them to prepare new clothes and new skirts, and then choose two light and festive pearl hairpins, and dress up neatly.
"As soon as the small banquet opens, it's a day, and it's not too late to go to the finale."
The flower-viewing banquet was held in the Yu Garden, near the Imperial Palace, which was originally a garden given by the emperor to the favored concubines at that time.
Later, the concubine gave it to her mother's family, because after all, it was a place where nobles liked to stop and enjoy the flowers, and the concubine's family also kept the etiquette at that time, so they simply opened the garden. (To be continued.) )
PS: PS: Dear friends, from the 20th to the 25th, the snow update time can not be determined, and even the quantity is difficult to determine, and I have to go on a business trip again, just to see if the work is busy.
