Chapter 20, Visitation
Coming out of the restaurant, Lei Weidong stretched. Time flies, look at the time is already more than four o'clock in the afternoon. The meal was eaten for more than four hours.
I have to visit Zhong Chuhong's house in the evening, and the first time I visit the girl's house, I must be more solemn. Gifts must be brought, Zhong Chuhong is not alone, in addition to his parents and three younger siblings, he must have gifts for these children
At six o'clock in the evening, Lei Weidong knocked on Zhong Chuhong's door with two large bags of gifts.
The door was opened by Mother Chung, who was not very old and looked to be in her forties. "You are?"
"Hello aunt, my name is Lei Weidong, and I just moved to the next door."
"It's Weidong, I heard Ah Hong talk about you, look at you, what gifts do you bring for a meal!" Zhong's mother conspicuously heard Zhong Chuhong talk about Lei Weidong, and hurriedly introduced Lei Weidong into the house. Although he said it, he also took the gift from Lei Weidong's hand.
It seems that Zhong's mother is also a little fond of vanity, and if Zhong's mother doesn't love vanity, she won't pull Zhong Chuhong to participate in the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant.
But who would have thought that Zhong Chuhong, who was forced to participate in the beauty pageant by his mother, could become the most popular star but Zhong Chuhong.
It's a pity that he hasn't won a heavyweight award, which may be the biggest regret of Zhong Chuhong's life.
The Zhong family's house is about 60 square meters, not to mention compared with Lei Weidong's own house, it is much smaller than the house rented by Lei Weidong and used for temporary settlement.
But such a house is standard in Hong Kong, many middle-income families live in such a house, the family is crowded together, Hong Kong houses can be said to be two concepts compared with the mainland.
However, although the house is not too big and does not seem to have any expensive appliances, it is very clean.
Just entering the door to the left is the bedroom of Zhong's father and mother, and the inside is the room of Zhong Chuhong and his two younger sisters Zhong Chuyu and Zhong Chuxia, the three sisters live together, and their younger brother is in a room with his parents because of his young age.
The living room and dining room are placed together.
So as soon as Lei Weidong entered the door, he saw the prepared dining table and Father Zhong and Zhong Chuhong's younger siblings who were lying on the dining table waiting for Lei Weidong to eat, but the age of the three was very young, and the eldest Zhong Chuyu was about thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same as Lei Weidong.
Dad Chung is about forty years old, and he looks like a literati rather than a tailor who makes clothes, probably because of the similar working principle, because of excessive use of eyes, Dad Chung wears a pair of old-fashioned original glasses.
However, Dad Chung has always liked to read, which also makes Dad Chung always strict with his children.
It's a pity that Zhong Chuhong is only 11 years old and has to help in the store, and when he is older, he has to work outside to subsidize the family, and Zhong Chuhong, who has taken up a lot of time to study, is not normal if his grades are good, so for this eldest daughter, Zhong's father has always felt very indebted.
Especially because of the limited economic conditions of the family, Zhong Chuhong had to suspend his studies after finishing junior high school at Tanleya Xiu Girls' School, helping to do business at home, and finding a job outside to subsidize the family, Zhong's father felt even more sorry for his eldest daughter.
Father Zhong knows that he is useless, he can't compensate for Zhong Chuhong in this life, he only hopes that his daughter can marry better in the future, and he is very concerned about the male friends his daughter has made. As soon as Lei Weidong entered the door, Father Zhong turned his gaze, with a hint of seriousness in his gentle gaze.
"Hello Uncle Chung." Lei Weidong greeted Zhong's father politely.
"Well, sit down" Father Zhong nodded and motioned for Lei Weidong to sit down, but his eyes kept wandering over Lei Weidong to carefully observe Lei Weidong's dress, and he didn't even let go of his shoes and socks.
makes Lei Weidong always have a feeling of being seen through, as if every father will not have a good face for his daughter's male friends who come to the door.
After all, the cabbage that has been raised for more than ten years is about to be arched compared to others, and the mood must be uncomfortable.
Perhaps sensing that Father Zhong looked at Lei Weidong like this, Mother Zhong on the side took the opportunity to play a round and said: "This old guy is like this, don't worry about Weidong." ”
"It's okay! Aunt! ”
Because Lei Weidong was a guest, he was arranged next to Father Zhong.
Maybe it was because he felt that his vision just now was a little rude, and Dad Zhong was not embarrassed to speak during the meal, but Mother Zhong chatted with Lei Weidong as always.
And Zhong Chuhong's younger siblings didn't dare to talk to Lei Weidong when they ate because of Father Zhong.
However, it can be seen from their eyes that they have a good impression of Lei Weidong, the big brother who gave them gifts as soon as they met.
You must know that because of family background, except for the New Year, you can rarely receive new gifts, but Lei Weidong looks a little small on the outside, as if he is not much older than himself, and he is a bit of a bad match to be a friend of the eldest sister.
However, Zhong's mother attaches great importance to Lei Weidong, what does it matter if the other party is small, the female junior holds the gold brick, and her daughter is just right.
You must know that although Zhong Chuhong has a wild temperament, he usually looks like a boy when he gets along with others, but because Zhong's father has a strict family education, and he has time to either help at home or go out to work to make money, how can he have time to fall in love.
So much so that friends and classmates are in pairs, but Zhong Chuhong is still alone.
You must know that in Hong Kong, a girl as old as Zhong Chuhong has reached the age of marriage, (you can get married at the age of 16 in Hong Kong), and Zhong Chuhong doesn't even have a boyfriend now, which naturally makes Zhong's mother and Zhong's father very anxious.
Lei Weidong is the first boy Zhong Chuhong has invited to dinner at home when he is so old, even if this boy is a little young, he is still a neighbor at home. But after all, he is a boy, so for Lei Weidong, Zhong's mother is very attentive, and asks about Lei Weidong's specific situation.
"Adong, where do your parents work, how can you let you be alone outside!"
Zhong's mother asked curiously: You must know that teenage boys are very homesick, and Lei Weidong has not seen his parents once in more than a month, which is a bit unreasonable.
"My parents passed away years ago, and I'm alone at home now!"
Lei Weidong didn't think of hiding it, because it was not a secret, and Zhong's mother also asked this because she didn't know about Lei Weidong's situation.
"Poor boy! You lost your parents at such a young age! How will you live in the future! Zhong's mother is very soft-hearted, and when she hears Lei Weidong's tragic experience, she inevitably exudes love.
"It's okay, I'm used to it, and my parents have left me a lot of inheritance, so there's nothing wrong with eating!" Lei Weidong replied.
"It's okay to eat!" Mother Zhong shook her head and said, "Just look at your appearance, you know what it's like to have this time!" How does a teenager know to take care of himself! ”
"This is a special case!" Lei Weidong said with a smile: "I have a regular life because I am in a hurry during this time, and it will be no problem when I am busy with this time!" ”
"What a draft! If there is suffering, it is said that they are all neighbors, and when they have time, they come to eat, and we have a lot of your pair of chopsticks in our family! Mother Chung smiled.
"There's my chopsticks! This is a prelude to making me a son-in-law! Lei Weidong looked at Zhong Chuhong in surprise, whether it was developing too fast.
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Zhong Chuhong protested: "Ah Dong is really in a hurry, you don't know that Ah Dong is the author of "Xun Qin"! ”
At noon, I saw Chen Haiming talking about the issue of the release of "Xun Qin Ji" in front of Lei Weidong, and Zhong Chuhong, who was a little interested in Lei Weidong, naturally analyzed it after going back.
Although there are no photos, according to Lei Weidong's age, surname, and today's sneaky appearance and Chen Haiming's conversation, the answer all points to one, Lei Weidong is a genius boy who caused a storm in the newspaper some time ago and wrote "Xun Qin" at a young age.
