Chapter 2 Return to China

After sleeping for a long time, when Ouyang Lan woke up, she found that it was already dark, and only a faint light came in through the gap in the curtains.

She rubbed her head, which was still a little swollen, got up, washed up briefly, opened the door, the light in the living room was on, and she took a closer look at this house, she used to live in the countryside, the houses were all one by one, and the layout was very simple.

This is a Chinese-style house, but if you think about it, people in their 60s like my uncle live in it, so it can't be European-style.

The house is quite big, and it is not easy to have such a big house in this city with a lot of land and gold.

However, I heard that my uncle's sons and daughters are all abroad, and they are all self-made, and my uncle, as a professor at A University, must have a good income, so it is reasonable to live in such a house.

An old man with silver hair was watching the TV of the financial channel, probably heard Ouyang Lan opening the door, turned around and said with a smile: "Lan Lan woke up, I heard Binbin say that you were motion sick, so I didn't call you, I'm hungry, let's eat." ”

Meng Lan smiled and called "Uncle"

, and then came to the table with Zhang Junping, she felt embarrassed, on the first day, as a guest, she actually asked the host to wait for her to eat.

The meals are very simple, but they are all her usual favorite foods, "Like your grandmother inquired about your taste, although the seafood here is not as fresh as yours, but the taste is okay." I really miss that time, when a group of children went to the sea together, and the crabs they caught were washed in the sea water and stuffed directly into their mouths, and the taste is still unforgettable. By the way, Lan Lan, can you catch crabs? ”

Ouyang Lan shook her head, "I haven't even been to the sea. ”

Zhang Junping smiled and said: "Also, for a girl like you, I guess your mother is reluctant." ”

"Yes, my mother controls me so strictly, you see, I'm so old, she still wants to put me by your side to rest assured."

"Why, I dislike this old man."

"No, uncle, I didn't mean that."

"Kidding you. Uncle, it doesn't sound kind enough, you still call me grandpa like Xiaobo. ”

"Bo?"

"Oh, look at me happy, I forgot to introduce, Xiaobo's full name is Zhang Zhibo, is my grandson, now, I guess it's on the plane back home. He said that he wanted to complete his master's degree in China, but his parents couldn't persuade him, and I wished he could come back to accompany me. In the future, this house will probably be lively. ”

Ouyang Lan thought to herself, what a strange person, now that people in China are eager to go abroad to gild, it's better for him to study abroad and return to China.

At the airport in City A, Qiao Bin sat in the car, bored scrolling on his mobile phone.

He was wondering if he had been too idle recently, and Professor Zhang had always arranged for him to work as a driver.

However, today is his good brother Zhang Zhibo, that kid, I haven't seen him for four or three years.

Four or three years ago, I thought it would be good to be admitted to A University together and be Professor Zhang's student together, but unfortunately, it backfired, and in the end, Zhang Zhibo couldn't survive his family's requirements and went abroad to study economics.

In the past four years, he has returned to China for a few days during the Spring Festival, and the two have never sat down and talked.

However, after that, after hearing Professor Zhang say that he is not going to leave, they can fight again as before.

The sound of knocking on the window interrupted Qiao Bin's memories, he looked for the sound, and saw Zhang Zhibo waving at him with a peaked cap, and quickly unlocked the car and let him in.

"You kid is really good at dragging, I did a plane for ten hours, and you still let me look for your broken car in such a large parking lot?"

As soon as Zhang Zhibo got in the car, he punched Qiao Bin.

"Is it broken? Not long after I bought it, you were the third person to make this car. ”

"The third? I guess, the first one is your mother, and the second one is ...... Girlfriend? ”

"Didn't you say you were going to bring your fiancΓ©e back with you?"

As soon as he heard Zhang Zhibo talk about his girlfriend, Qiao Bin also joked.

"You don't come, you don't know the rules of our family. I can't fall in love until I have a successful career. ”

"Tease you, but this second one, you also know, is your cousin."

"Cousin? When did I have a cousin? ”

"No, everyone already lives in Professor Zhang's house, you don't know."

Zhang Zhibo shook his head, "I only told grandpa that I returned to China, and grandpa didn't tell me that there were guests at home." ”

"I picked her up yesterday, a country girl, who seems to be a little proud, and doesn't like to deal with strangers very much."

"Pride? Did you hit the wall? ”

Zhang Zhibo quipped.

"You, don't take a woman and pour it on me. Anyway, you'll be able to see you soon, and when the time comes, don't have tears in your eyes. ”

At Zhang Junping's home, Ouyang Lan watched TV boringly.

Zhang Zhibo arrived home soon, the nanny was preparing lunch in the kitchen, she wanted to help, but found that she couldn't do anything but pick vegetables, so she came out.

After Zhang Junping finished his work, he saw Ouyang Lan sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Lan Lan, homesick?"

Ouyang Lan was startled for a moment, and hurriedly reacted, "Grandpa, are you done?" ”

"Hmm,"

Zhang Junping looked at the time, "Xiaobo should also arrive." Lan Lan, it's suffocating in the house these days. ”

"No, I went downstairs for a walk."

Zhang Junping touched Ouyang Lan's head lovingly, "Wait for Xiaobo to finish the time difference, let him go out for a walk with you." ”

"No, grandpa, when school starts, I will have classmates, and then we will go and explore this strange city slowly."

After hearing this, Zhang Junping laughed, "Well, that's a good idea." ”

Listen to the sound of the doorbell, "Grandpa, I'll open the door." ”

Zhang Zhibo and Qiao Bin walked in one after the other.

As soon as Zhang Zhibo entered the door, he ran to Zhang Junping's side and gave Zhang Junping a big hug, "Grandpa, you are still old and strong." ”

Zhang Junping looked at his grandson in front of him and smiled from ear to ear.

Qiao Bin handed Zhang Zhibo's luggage to the nanny Aunt Li and came to the dining table, "Wow, Zhibo, it's really a blessing to you, Aunt Li showed her skills today." ”

Zhang Junping said to Qiao Bin, "You kid, you don't eat and drink spicy food one day, every time you are here, Aunt Li doesn't treat you badly." ”

"Yes, yes, Grandpa Zhang, it's not okay if I'm wrong."

Ouyang Lan stood aside, looking at the intimate two, a little overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Qiao Bin pulled her to Zhang Zhibo's side, "Come, Zhibo, let me introduce you, Ouyang Lan, your cousin." Zhang Zhibo, your cousin. ”

He said to Ouyang Lan again.

"Qiao Bin, you seem to be in the wrong position."

Zhang Zhibo glanced at him, "Hello, my name is Zhang Zhibo, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Zhang Zhibo made a gentlemanly handshake motion.

Ouyang Lan was a little in a hurry, she didn't know how to respond to his etiquette, but fortunately, Zhang Junping was relieved.

"Xiaobo, look at you scaring Lan Lan. Lan Lan, this is what grandpa told you about Zhang Zhibo, in the future, he will be your brother, if there is any difficulty, you will find him, if he bullies you, you will sue grandpa, and grandpa will support you. ”

"Ah, grandpa, who is your dear."

Zhang Zhibo complained.

Ouyang Lan glanced up at him and smiled at him.

Zhang Zhibo has never seen the girl in front of him since he entered the door, but at that glance, he found that the eyes of the girl in front of him were too clean, she didn't seem to have experienced the world, Qiao Bin said that she was a little proud, it should be right.

She dresses very simply, her makeup is very simple, unlike those so-called upper-class daughters in City A, who always clean herself up beautifully, and unlike the girls he has been in contact with abroad over the years, she really seems to be just a girl from the countryside.

This meal, except for Ouyang Lan, who was a little embarrassed, the other three people all ate happily, especially Zhang Junping, who really smiled from ear to ear, and drank a few more glasses.

"I'm a little drunk, let's go lie down for a while, and the three of you play slowly."

"Grandpa, I'll help you in."

Zhang Junping got up, and Ouyang Lan also got up.

"No, Lan Lan, you can eat for a while, don't worry about those two bastards."

Zhang Junping went back to the house, Ouyang Lan looked at Zhang Zhibo and Qiao Bin who were talking while drinking on the other side, and said politely, "I'm full, you eat slowly." ”

I went back to the house too.

Looking at her background, Qiao Bin, who was slightly drunk, said with a little emotion, "I'm really proud." I don't know where her pride comes from. ”

"That's my sister, you playboy don't think about it."

"Secured so quickly."

After saying that, the two punched each other again, and began to talk about their past and their present again.
