Chapter 19: The Meeting Years Ago
"Jin Fangfang, my dear wife, is your meal ready, I will take Chen Yuehan out for a while, I set a place at the Winter Moon Hotel in the evening and feasted Chen Yuehan's classmates and family." Chen Dahua shouted in the direction of the kitchen.
"It's coming, it's coming~" Jin Fangfang replied in the kitchen.
"Dahua also knows about the classmates who invited Hanhan to the banquet this time. It seems that I am still very satisfied with Hanhan's test results this time~" Jin Fangfang said to Aunt Zhou, the nanny next to her. In fact, Jin Fangfang and Chen Dahua are both people who have lived a hard life together, and there is no need to invite any aunts at home, but Chen Dahua thinks that how can there be one less nanny and aunt in a villa, and the house where she lives is big, Jin Fangfang is also difficult to clean, and it is reasonable to invite a nanny aunt. So despite Jin Fangfang's opposition, she insisted on inviting an aunt.
"Well, I see that Hanhan studied late every night some time ago, and working so hard must be rewarded." Aunt Zhou should be kind.
"Then we can cook 4 dishes at noon, and we won't eat at home at night anyway, and it will be wasted if we burn too much." Although Jin Fangfang has been living a good life for many years, the habit of thrift and thrift has always been retained.
After Chen Dahua and Chen Yuehan finished eating, they rushed to the largest shopping mall in the county.
"Hanhan, you are responsible for selecting the gifts of your classmates, and I will buy the gifts for the New Year's greetings of each family." Chen Dahua said.
"Okay~ Then thank you Dad, I'll go and choose a gift for him," Chen Yuehan said happily.
Chen Yuehan stayed in the snack area for a long time, because Chen Yuehan knew that Lin Weilan was a snack and loved potato chips. So Chen Yuehan bought potato chips of various flavors for Lin Weilan, and after cleaning the snack area, Chen Yuehan came to the floor of the sports equipment. Chen Yuehan suddenly remembered that not long ago, Lin Weilan wanted to tell herself that she wanted to learn to roller skate, and now she could send her a pair of roller skates. Chen Yuehan knows better than anyone what size shoes Lin Weilan wears, because the two of them always go shopping when they have time to buy clothes and shoes together. Of course, after coming to the third year of junior high school, there will be fewer such opportunities, Chen Yuehan chose a pair of pink roller skates for herself and Lin Weilan.
So what is the gift of He Xiaoran and Lu Xusheng? Chen Yuehan stood in front of a pile of exercise equipment and began to think deeply.
"Oh~ By the way, both of them love to play basketball, so why don't you give them a basketball." Chen Yuehan glanced around the basketball hoop, found the most expensive brand of basketball-Spalding's basket, and then asked the staff to bring two identical basketballs for herself and put them in the high car that had been piled up.
By the time Chen Yuehan pushed a cart of things to the cashier's place, Chen Dahua had already paid and waited for him.
Chen Yuehan doesn't have to think about it, his father has no other choice than to buy Moutai, Wuliangye, and Chinese cigarettes, just like those who go to his house every time to give gifts to his father, they give some cigarettes and alcohol.
Sure enough, Chen Dahua's cart was full of Wuliangye and Chinese cigarettes. Chen Yuehan sighed deeply after reading it.
The first stop that Chen Yuehan led Chen Dahua to was Lin Weilan's house, and when Li Huihui heard the knock on the door, she thought that this was the sixth person to come to give gifts today.
It's just that what Li Huihui didn't expect was that the people who came turned out to be Lin Weilan's classmate and her father, and Li Huihui's first reaction at that time was that Lin Weilan had done something bad outside under the name of Lin Jianguo.
Later, when I heard Chen Dahua's intention, I knew the reason, and when the New Year was approaching, Lin Jianguo also rested at home.
As soon as he heard that it was Chen Dahua coming, he hurriedly came out of the study and shook hands with Chen Dahua and asked for warmth, and it seemed that the two were very familiar.
And Lin Weilan was overjoyed when she heard that Chen Yuehan was here and received a gift from Chen Yuehan.
Chen Dahua chatted with Lin Jianhua for a few words, and told the other party to hold a banquet at the Winter Moon Hotel in the evening, so that Lin Jianhua and his family must be present. Lin Jianhua agreed without hesitation, saying that he would definitely be present at that time.
The second stop is He Xiaoran's house, at this time He Xiaoran's parents have returned, but the grandparents have returned to their hometown to prepare for the New Year's Eve goods, but He Feng saw Chen Dahua bring his daughter to thank his son for giving him an early birthday by the way, and he didn't think there was anything inappropriate, after all, He Feng is also a person who has been in the business circle for many years, and Chen Dahua's name has long been heard, and there are few people in H County whose business is as big as his. So when Chen Dahua said that he would hold a banquet at the Winter Moon Hotel in the evening and hoped that his family would go, He Feng also agreed.
And He Xiaoran on the side was completely confused, when Chen Yuehan handed the basketball to He Xiaoran, He Xiaoran didn't know what to say except to say thank you, and his reaction formed a huge gap with his father.
"Hanhan~ This classmate He Xiaoran, usually he doesn't talk much, or does his father suddenly visit his house, which makes him feel very uncomfortable?" Although Chen Dahua had been talking to He Feng, he also noticed that when his daughter handed the basketball to He Xiaoran, there was no surprise on the other party's face except for surprise, but simply said thank you.
"Dad, He Xiaoran was born to be wood, I used to share the table with him for 6 years, and I didn't say a few words, but you forgot? I fell into the water that time, thanks to him for saving me" Chen Yuehan was afraid that her father would misunderstand He Xiaoran, so she specially reminded He Feng that He Xiaoran saved her life again, and we should be grateful to Dade.
"Also, in this way, this kid is natural, but it can bring people a sense of security, isn't it~ Hanhan" Chen Dahua is also nearly 40 years old, and he can see through the little girl's thoughts at a glance.
Although He Xiaoran was reluctant just now, the expression on his baby daughter's face was something that he hadn't even seen before, the girl's heart~ At an innocent age, it's better to see through some feelings and not say anything.
After setting a time with He Feng, Chen Dahua took Chen Yuehan to Lu Xusheng's house, because the two didn't know Lu Xusheng's house, and turned around to Lin Weilan and let Lin Weilan lead the way. Lin Weilan was also happy to lead the way, and when she left, she also told Li Huihui that she would follow Lu Xusheng directly to the Winter Moon Hotel, so she didn't have to wait for him to come back.
Lin Weilan is familiar with Lu Xusheng's house, she stayed at his house for a whole day yesterday, eating and drinking at Lu Xusheng's house, so when Li Huihui heard that Lin Weilan was also going to Lu Xusheng's house, she would not let her go empty-handed, so she took out two bottles of Wuliangye and a box of Dong'e Ejiao from the cabinet and asked Lin Weilan to take them by the way, which can be regarded as her own gratitude to Lu Xusheng for taking care of her daughter. Thinking about it, Lin Weilan's grades have improved so quickly, and Lu Xusheng's attentive counseling is inseparable.
Lin Weilan originally wanted to refuse, because she knew that the reason why Lu Xusheng made up for herself was definitely not for these material things, and the two of them were struggling because of one goal. But Li Huihui said that there is no intention of going to other people's homes empty-handed during the Chinese New Year, not to mention that Chen Yuehan even went to other people's houses to thank others. In fact, the one who should be most grateful to Lu Xusheng is Lin Weilan. Lin Weilan thought about it, so she had to take her things and go to Lu Xusheng's house with Chen Yuehan's father and daughter.
Lu Xusheng's family lives in the dormitory of the county grain station, not far from Lin Weilan's house, and there are a few roads in between.
Chen Dahua followed Lin Weilan's directions and drove to Lu Xusheng's house in less than 5 minutes.
"Xiaosheng's family lives on the 3rd floor of a row of 2 units inside." Lin Weilan led the two of them into the community.
"This community has also been around for some years~" Chen Dahua said as he looked at the surrounding community facilities.
"It's been a long time, I remember when I was very young, I loved to run to Lu Xusheng's house and ask him to read me storybooks, think about my third year of junior high school now, time flies too fast." Lin Weilan said with the appearance of an old man.
"Hanhan, your classmate is really interesting~" Chen Dahua looked at Lin Weilan and said to his daughter beside him.
"Isn't it~ When I was with Xiaolan, she always made me laugh, and she was also very brave, and she was always willing to find a way for me when I encountered any difficulties," Chen Yuehan said.
"It's here, uncle~ I'll knock on the door," Lin Weilan knocked on the door three times after speaking.
"Ahem~ It's coming" You heard the voice of Lu Xusheng's mother in the house, accompanied by bursts of coughing.
"Auntie's health is not good, and she often coughs, especially in winter," Lin Weilan whispered to the father and daughter beside her. When Lin Weilan was tutoring at Lu Xusheng's house on weekdays, she could often hear the sound of the mother deer coughing, and she often wheezed when breathing, which was even more serious in winter.
After the mother deer opened the door, she saw Lin Weilan and two unfamiliar faces standing outside the door, still carrying things in their hands.
"Xiaolan, why are you here? Didn't you say that you were going to come for the New Year? Who are these two? "The mother deer is slow but not anxious, and she speaks slowly.
"Hello Auntie~ I'm Chen Yuehan, this is my father, and I'm also Lu Xusheng's classmate, Auntie! We are here to greet you and your uncle, and the deer god is also at home," Chen Yuehan briefly explained his intention after introducing himself and his father.
"Oh! Oh~ You're too polite, please come in" Mother Deer smiled and hurriedly invited everyone into the house.
"Auntie, I'll call Xiaosheng, hehe~" Lin Weilan came to Lu Xusheng's house as if it was her own home.
"He's reading in his room, you go and call him"
"Okay~ Auntie, oh! And this, my mother said to bring you New Year's greetings" Lin Weilan stuffed the things into the hands of the mother deer and ran to Lu Xusheng's room.
"Ahh~ Xiaolan, why is your mother always so polite"
"Oh! Yes, yes~ Auntie, this is what we brought, and this basketball is given to Lu Xusheng" Chen Yuehan also hurriedly said.
"You are all too polite, Mr. Chen and classmate Chen, you sit down first, I'll pour you some water, it's very cold outside, drink some hot water to warm your body," said Mother Deer.
"Lu Xusheng's mother, don't be busy, I'll sit with Hanhan for a while and leave," Chen Dahua also said politely.
"Guess who I am~" At this time, Lin Weilan gently opened the door of Lu Xusheng's room and put her head in, Lu Xusheng was reading a book with headphones, so she quietly walked behind Lu Xusheng and covered Lu Xusheng's eyes with her hands, and said in a deep voice.
