Chapter 17: An Awkward Reunion
This class reunion, are Tang Hongye and Du Juan's junior high school classmates, most of them did not study in the same high school as the two of them, at that stage of junior high school, Tang Hongye's awkward personality in adolescence has not been fully played, and he is still in the stage of deliberately pretending to be mature, so except for Hou Changsheng, who was also close to Tang Hongye later, almost no one else knew that Tang Hongye and Du Juan had a very tense relationship for a while, and on the day of the party, I didn't think much about it when I saw the two of them coming together, after all, many people had already inquired in advance that now Du Juan and Tang Hongye were working in the same unit, so as colleagues, it didn't seem particularly strange for the two of them to come together.
However, after Tang Hongye disclosed his relationship with Du Juan to others, there were more people who were surprised, after all, these classmates were more or less, directly or indirectly, and there were still some connections, especially those male classmates who heard that Du Juan had been single before, and wanted to test her to see if they could develop, and suddenly heard that the famous flower has a master, and the other party is still a person who eats grass by the nest, they are all a little stunned.
Of course, after being stunned, most people still give them blessings, whether they are sincere or false, or a little sour or weird.
Tang Hongye didn't care whether the tone of those male classmates was envy or jealousy when they said hello to him, anyway, he took it all, and his smug mood was about to be unable to hide, for the first time in so many years, he still found a feeling of a big winner in life, and he was a little fluttering.
Of course, there is another phenomenon that also makes him feel a little bit hurt his self-esteem, that is, there are several male classmates who are worried about Du Juan's personal problems, but there are so many female classmates in the class, and there is not even a person who thinks about him a little, Tang Hongye is really a little crying and laughing.
Of course, Hou Changsheng also came to the class reunion, and he didn't come alone, but with his wife and children, although when discussing matters related to the class reunion, everyone joked that they were welcome to bring their families and children, but most people didn't really do that, especially if their other half was not only not classmates, but also from the same school, they didn't have any intersection with other people at all, and it was difficult to find a common topic, so they didn't bring their other half. Not to mention the children, they are all classmates of the same age, except for Hou Changsheng, who is extremely efficient, the others are married, or the children are still very young, or they have not been born, so Hou Changsheng's pair of children have become the only two children in the audience, naughty or the same naughty as when they saw the cuckoo before, the two of them ran around, and broke a few wine glasses after a while, fortunately, Hou Changsheng took the initiative to compensate the waiter as soon as the two children got into trouble, Others were embarrassed to say anything, no matter whether they were happy or not, whether they liked it or not, on the surface, they still handed over the pen to Hou Changsheng to save face.
Tang Hongye originally thought that when he saw Hou Changsheng, see what his reaction was, what kind of attitude he had, and if he could get by, he would ease the embarrassing atmosphere between several of them, he believed that when Hou Changsheng talked to his wife about the private affairs of the cuckoo and his side, he should have been unintentional, and he would not have thought that his wife would use that incident as a weapon to attack the cuckoo.
As a result, he still thought about it very beautifully, and Hou Changsheng's wife over there was dressed up in a fancy way, and appeared together with the two children, and when he saw Tang Hongye and Du Juan from a distance, before they could react, Hou Changsheng's wife first rolled her eyes, turned around and walked away with a gloomy face.
What's this called?! Tang Hongye felt a burst of fire rush up, scurrying in his chest, and his ribs hurt. At the beginning, it was obviously her wishful thinking that she wanted to introduce her sister to herself, even if she was single, she had no obligation to choose to accept, not to mention that she already had a cuckoo at that time, this woman was already very inexplicable when she was angry with the cuckoo, and the two bear children also took more inexplicable revenge on the cuckoo, after these things, when they met again, the two injured parties did not roll their eyes, but first received a pair of "health balls" thrown by this woman, which really makes people not even know how to evaluate!
Tang Hongye was not happy in his heart, but he was a big man, and he was always embarrassed to go to a woman like Hou Changsheng's wife in front of a group of old classmates who didn't know, so he could only stare at Hou Changsheng and stare at him as soon as he got the opportunity, but in fact, he didn't expect Hou Changsheng to really do anything, even if he quietly found an opportunity to apologize to himself and Du Juan, or to stop his wife who rolled his eyes indiscriminately, then Tang Hongye felt that it was somewhat reasonable. What he didn't expect was that the only response Hou Changsheng made from beginning to end was to avoid himself, avoid making eye contact with himself, and look like he wanted to pretend to be stupid and stunned to the end.
In the face of Hou Changsheng's reaction, Tang Hongye didn't know whether he was more helpless or angry, he sighed a little that in the past two years, not only because of the arrival of the cuckoo, there have been many changes in his life, but also some views on people or things have changed a lot.
In the past, he always thought that he was very concerned that Cuckoo was better than himself in everything, and that he would never be able to overcome this hurdle of self-esteem, but when Cuckoo almost became discouraged, he realized that those things were not as important as he thought in the past.
In the past, he always felt that Hou Changsheng was quite enviable, although he didn't take the university entrance examination, didn't read a lot of books, and got a high degree of education, but he has a beautiful wife, a pair of children, and a business that can ensure that the family has no worries about food and clothing, which can be regarded as a big winner in life in a sense. As a result, now I look at it again, in addition to her appearance, her heart is really not very good, a pair of children are a little too lively, there are very serious flaws in family education, except for the fact that the stall she relies on to survive is still solid, Hou Changsheng's life is not anything worthy of envy.
Tang Hongye sighed, and after Hou Changsheng avoided his gaze again, he also began to treat their family of four as if they were air, and no longer paid any attention.
