Chapter 6: An Unexpected Friendship
When Lin Xu came back at this time, Huang Rong naturally didn't give him any good looks. But the matter has come to this point, this is not a serious matter, Huang Rong only complained for a few more words, and then took Lin Xu and Guan Wentao to Taoyuan.
Lin Xu's previous arrangement was also told to Guan Wentao on the road. Now that the original arrangement was disrupted by Huang Rong, Guan Wentao followed Lin Xu's side, and also gave Lin Xu a look quite helplessly.
Lin Xu has a good relationship with Huang Zongwen, but Guan Wentao is different, he is a little afraid of the "Huang Lao Evil" that is prevalent in this student's mouth.
Although Guan Wentao was in a different class from Lin Xu in the second year of junior high school, the mathematics class in their class in the second year of junior high school was also taught by Huang Zongwen. Guan Wentao is not good at studying, and often deserts or sleeps in class, so he has suffered Huang Zongwen's "magic power" in Huang Zongwen's class.
Originally, Lin Xu told him that he was going to Taoyuan on the way, but he was reluctant to go because he was a little afraid of Huang Zongwen. At that time, Lin Xu told him that if he didn't want to go, he would stay in the car and let Lin Xu go alone. He accepted this suggestion at the time, and now it's okay, because he met Huang Rong in advance and disrupted their arrangement, so he had to go with him. Now if he wants to open his mouth and say that he will stay in the car, it will be a little rude, and it will not be justified. So now, he is very helpless, and the closer he gets to Taoyuan, the more nervous he becomes, so he can only keep giving Lin Xu a look, it depends on Lin Xu.
Walking on the small bridge on the canal leading to Taoyuan, Huang Rong suddenly turned to Lin Xu and said, "Actually, my father and I plan to go to your house in the afternoon to pay New Year's greetings." ”
"Yes!" Lin Xu replied, not too surprised by this.
Huang Zongwen and Lin Xu's father, Lin Lang, had not had much contact with each other, and they hadn't even met a few times. But since last year, when their yard was unsealed, Lin Lang came forward to help Huang Rong at that time, and Huang Zongwen came back later, and he also came to thank Lin Lang.
The two drank a drink because of this incident, and then drank some friendship, and then went back and forth and made friends. From time to time, the two will also get together. Therefore, this year's Spring Festival, Huang Zongwen will go to the door to pay New Year's greetings, which is not unexpected, but he didn't expect it to be on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In fact, Lin Xu was quite surprised that Huang Zongwen would make friends with his father at that time. You must know that Huang Zongwen is also a little withdrawn, and he has been teaching in Wuxiang Middle School for so many years, and he has never had any good friends. When I get along with other teachers in the school, I maintain a gentleman's friendship as light as water, neither salty nor light. Unexpectedly, he would make friends with Lin Lang. Lin Xu didn't know if it was because of his relationship, or if Huang Zongwen was simply able to talk to his father. After all, his father usually loves to read, and he has a wide range of knowledge, and his knowledge is very good, and he has a wide range of interests and dabbles a lot. Just like martial arts, his father also dabbled in it when he was young. It's just that I didn't get any effect after practicing for a while, so I didn't stick to it and gave up. For this, Lin Xu felt sorry for his father.
To be honest, his father had some scholarly temperaments, but he didn't particularly like martial arts, but he dabbled in them when he was young. In ancient times, a person like his father was the kind of scholar and scholar with rich knowledge, and maybe he could even take the test for a talent and other fame. There is knowledge and learning, but he is trapped in the countryside and does not have much ambition. It's good to talk about the past and the present, and it's good to talk about the world, but there are few ordinary rural people who can be too like-minded.
Huang Zongwen's knowledge is naturally not bad, and he also has a lot of knowledge and a wide range of knowledge, these two people can talk and make friends. If you think about it, it's a bit unexpected, but it's also a reasonable thing.
Just like many martial arts, some heroes intersected, and there were also many scholars who did not know martial arts, and some were even famous people at that time. One is a world-famous hero, and the other is a famous literati, and they have a good relationship with each other, which is also a beautiful talk on the rivers and lakes.
Huang Zongwen and Lin Lang naturally can't talk about this, Lin Lang doesn't even know Huang Zongwen's true identity, he just treats him as a math teacher in Wuxiang Middle School and his son's teacher.
"Hmm!" Huang Rong responded, and without saying more, he led Lin Xu and Guan Wentao across the small bridge to their yard.
Huang Zongwen also heard a sound in the house at this time, and walked out of it when he heard the sound. Seeing that it was Lin Xu, he smiled at him and said, "It's Lin Xu, why are you here now?" After speaking, he turned to Guan Wentao, glanced at it, but he also recognized it, nodded and greeted: "Guan Wentao." ”
"Hello Teacher Huang!" Guan Wentao heard this, and hurriedly said a little nervously.
"Let's come over to give you New Year's greetings!" Lin Xu said with a smile at this time.
"Where, this kid mainly came to the school to call Teacher Yan, and came to see us by the way!" Huang Rong bluntly picked out Lin Xu's platform.
"That's also a heart, come, come in and sit. Huang Zongwen didn't care when he heard this, he just smiled and beckoned the two of them into the house.
"Dad, you are just partial to this kid, don't you regret that it was not a son who was born in the first place!" Huang Rong was a little disobedient.
"What nonsense!" Huang Zongwen shook his head helplessly, scolded Huang Rong with a smile, and didn't pay much attention to it.
Huang Rong is actually joking, she knows very well how much her father loves her. Smile and walk in the door first.
Lin Xu and Guan Wentao then followed in, and Huang Zongwen finally followed, let them into the hall and sit down, and beckoned them to drink tea, eat some melon seeds and other dried fruit New Year's goods.
Guan Wentao has been studying in Wuxiang Middle School for a few years, but he has never entered Taoyuan, and has visited the old evil family of Huang on Peach Blossom Island, which the students jokingly called. Now with Lin Xu's light, this is also the first time to come. So although I was quite nervous, the first time I came to Huang Zongwen's house, I couldn't help but look around curiously.
The furnishings in the living room of Huang Zongwen's house are also simple and simple, and there is nothing too surprising. The only thing that is different from ordinary people in the countryside is that there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls. He doesn't know how to appreciate these calligraphy and paintings, but with these words, it feels like a home of poetry and books, and the owner is very knowledgeable.
On one of the walls, a large picture frame was hung. However, inside, there is not only one large photo, but many small photos of seven inches in size. This kind of photo frame, which is common in many families in their village, generally does not make any photo albums, but usually takes photos and is all set in a frame.
He remembered watching a decoration program on TV, there was a similar arrangement, called a photo wall, but in the TV program, the layout was more artistic and beautiful, and the photo frame was also a small photo frame. It's not like they are in the countryside, where it's just a hodgepodge of smorgasbord and sandwiched in a big photo frame. It's not pretty, it's just intuitive.
The photos in this large photo frame are basically all of Huang Zongwen's family of three, and there are few outsiders. However, if there are outsiders, they are also more conspicuous in these photos.
Guan Wentao found out at a glance that there was a photo in which there was Lin Xu. In addition, there is Lin Xu's sister Lin Tong inside. This is a group photo of several people, in addition to Lin Xu's brothers and sisters, there are also Huang Zongwen and Huang Rong's father and daughter, as well as Teacher Yan Feifei. In addition to a few of them, there is also a girl who is about the same age as Huang Rong and looks very beautiful, but she has short hair like a boy and looks very neutral in her dress. But this person, Guan Wentao didn't know or seen it, he guessed it should be Huang Rong's classmate or friend.
The background of this photo is in the peach orchard, behind them is a beautiful peach forest, the photo is sunny, Huang Rong is surrounded in the middle, there is a cake on the table in front of her, and she is wearing a birthday hat on her head, which seems to be a group photo of her birthday.
This photo was obviously newly taken, and it was washed larger, ten inches, so it was more conspicuous in most of the seven-inch photos, which attracted Guan Wentao's attention.
Guan Wentao guessed correctly, this photo is indeed a group photo of several people on Huang Rong's birthday last year. Lin Xu rushed back from the capital on time the day before and attended Huang Rong's birthday the next day. The only one Guan Wentao doesn't know in the photo is naturally Guo Jing.
At that time, they didn't go to any hotel, so they celebrated in the courtyard of Huang Zongwen's house. However, the food I ate at that time was prepared and delivered from the restaurant opposite. There was a lively celebration and a group photo, and there was nothing to talk about.
Lin Xu gave Huang Rong a birthday gift at that time, and he didn't buy anything too expensive and out of line, but just bought a relatively beautiful fountain pen as a gift.
