Chapter 5: The Shen Family's Gathering

The person who delivered the food for several days suddenly cut off the message, which made Xia Ju feel very uneasy, since her father died unexpectedly, Xia Ju's heart has become sensitive and fragile.

In a situation like this, Xia Ju will also be judged by Xia Ju's thoughts: Is there something wrong with this person who delivers food to him every day? Or are you seriously ill?

Xia Ju walked back and forth in the house, opening the door every ten minutes to see if the lunch box was still there, but every time the empty lunch box hung quietly on the door, there was no change.

Xia Ju didn't eat in the morning, because she was upset, she didn't even feel hungry. Having a concern for someone she has never met before, this is an experience that Xia Ju has never had, although she also feels confused, but she can't suppress this feeling.

Touching the yellow calendar on the wall, Xia Ju suddenly remembered that today was the day she was going to attend a party at Shen Junchen's house. My father used to say that he didn't believe in the villain. Since you promised others, you should do your best to do it.

Because the time was almost up, Xia Ju hurriedly put on her coat and trotted all the way downstairs. When I walked to the intersection, I wanted to call a rickshaw, but the rickshaw that usually stops here, but today I can't see one, thinking of Han San's words, Xia Ju tried to shout: "Han San!" ”

Within a few minutes, Han San didn't know where to come out, pulling the rickshaw and shouting as he ran: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

Xia Ju got into the car with a heart full of surprise, and as soon as she sat down, Han San had already lifted the handlebar: "Miss Xia, where are we going today?" ”

Xia Ju: "Oh, 7 PΓ©tain Road. ”

Han San: "Yo, Miss Xia, you are fighting with the French Concession!" Last time it was Xiafei Road, this time it was Petain Road, both are good places. Who are you looking for? ”

Xia Ju was accustomed to Han San's rambling from Beiping, and said, "This time I'm not looking for someone, I'm going to my classmate's house as a guest." ”

Han San: "Hey, this classmate of yours must also be rich and powerful in his family, right?" Those who live on Petain Road are not much worse than those who live on Chauffy Road. ”

Xia Ju didn't know exactly what Shen Junchen's family did, but she had seen that cars often came to pick up Shen Junchen from school. But every time Shen Junchen saw the car, his face was ugly, and later, the number of times the car came became much less.

This kind of thing, Xia Ju doesn't think it's very special, in the world of flowers in Shanghai, there are countless rich people. No one would be surprised or envious of someone else's car at home, which would make the classmates laugh at him like a countryman who has never seen the world.

"Mr. Han San, how did you know that I was looking for you at the corner of the street?" Xia Ju didn't want to continue the topic of who has money or not, because such a topic is stupid and boring, whether you have money or not is someone else's business, what does it have to do with yourself.

Han San: "Hey, Miss Xia, you are polite to me, I have lived for twenty-eight years, and no one calls me sir." Hearing you call me that, my backbone is cold, you better spare me, if you can afford me, just call me Brother Han! ”

Han San said frankly, and he couldn't hear the meaning of taking advantage of girls on his tongue, Xia Ju: "Okay, Han Sange......"

Han San: "Well, this title still sounds pleasing to my ears, it's as comfortable as just taking a day's bath in Tsinghua Pool!" …… You just asked me how do I know someone is looking for me? Seeing that you are so sincere, we are also a regular customer, and I am also blind to you, in fact, it is just a coincidence, I was basking in the sun in the corner of the nearby wall! ”

When Xia Ju heard him say this, she realized that the trick was really worthless, which made her cry and laugh, and she really thought that he had some special ability, and he had a pair of ears.

Entering the French Concession, Han San's footsteps slowed down, the traffic here is not as busy as public rental, and it is easy to hit pedestrian vehicles if he runs too fast.

Han San was pulling the car while paying attention to the house number on the side of the street: "Petain Road...... No. 7 ...... This is it! Miss Xia, you have arrived. ”

Xia Ju got out of the car and paid for the car, and Han San asked, "Do you want me to wait for you here for a while?" ”

Xia Ju: "Oh, I don't have to do it today, I'll stay here for a while today, thank you, Third Brother Han." ”

"Miss Xia, you scholars are too polite, I earn your money, I should thank you. Then let's do it, I'll go around again, you just need to shout Han San when you use the car, I won't be able to delay you! As he spoke, Han San smiled and pulled the car and ran away.

Xia Ju smiled and watched this chattering, but very warm-hearted coachman disappear from sight, such a person has no distinction between high and low in Xia Ju's heart, and even to a certain extent, Xia Ju feels that they are purer and more friendly.

No. 7 PΓ©tain Road is a new style of double-storey shikumen building, with a red brick faΓ§ade, carved brick tiles, solid black lacquered wooden doors, and a huge copper knocker on the door.

Shen Junchen, who was standing on the open-air balcony on the second floor, had been anxiously looking out of the courtyard, and saw Xia Ju coming over from a distance, Shen Junchen immediately waved at Xia Ju, and then quickly went downstairs and ran to the gate to open the door for Xia Ju.

"Xia Ju, you are here, if you don't come for a while, I will pick you up at your house." Shen Junchen swept away the listlessness just now, and diligently accompanied Xia Ju through the courtyard and came to the living room.

There were already more than a dozen people sitting in the living room, all of whom watched with a smile as Shen Junchen walked in with Xia Ju, and a young woman wearing a blue satin cheongsam stood up and greeted her: "Ouch, the person we Shen Dagongzi has been looking forward to all morning, it must be this young lady, right?" Tsk, it's really handsome. ”

Xia Ju was a little cramped, this kind of crazy talk similar to Fengyue Field was not the experience that a girl like her had in a family, Shen Junchen's face was also flushed, but he didn't express his anger: "Xiao Ningning, don't talk nonsense, this is my classmate, you will scare her if you talk nonsense like this......"

"This hasn't been married yet, and it's been guarded? It's boring. Xiao Ningning pouted, twisted his body and sat back, although Xiao Ningning and Xia Ju are of the same age, but they are two completely different people, even these few steps of graceful walking posture make Xia Ju dare not take a second look.

Shen Junchen pulled Xia Ju and was about to go upstairs, when a middle-aged man coughed and said, "Junchen, why are you so unruly!" So many elders are sitting here, you come and go in a hurry, and you don't say hello, is this how I usually educate you! ”

Shen Junchen turned his back to Xia Ju and made a grimace, slowly descended the stairs, stood in the middle of the living room, and said, "Dad, my son knows that he is wrong." Junchen greets all uncles, aunts and aunts. ”

Saying that, he bowed deeply, and a middle-aged woman sitting opposite his father praised: "It's still Junchen, this kid is knowledgeable...... Ning Ning, look at you, crazy all day long, how can there be a girl, you have to learn more from Junchen in the future......"

Xiao Ningning stood up angrily and said, "Mom, you are training people in front of outsiders again!" You still treat me as a child, and you don't save face at all! ”

A man in a Mao suit laughed and said, "Ning Ning, don't blame your mother, there are no outsiders here, they are all elders who have watched you grow up." ”

Xiao Ningning stomped his feet and said coquettishly: "Uncle Zhao, you also come to help my mother speak, how can there be no outsiders, there is only one ready-made!" ”

As he spoke, Xiao Ningning stared at Xia Ju who lowered her head in a panic without blinking.
