Chapter 34: Class Reunion
Early morning, July 17, 2008.
After more than 20 hours of crossing the Pacific Ocean Current, the flight from New York finally landed in the hometown of Weiji where he had lived for 18 years.
After about a week in Philadelphia, Chu Zihang's injuries have healed.
Wei Ji felt that a large part of Chu Zihang's success was due to himself. After all, during this week, Wei Ji took care of Chu Zihang meticulously, and it can even be said that he let it go.
However, the main thing is that Chu Zihang has almost no requirements, and Wei Ji cooks every day, pours water, and sometimes buys little things like flowers and fruits.
Wei Ji obviously doesn't have the character to take care of people, but he just resigned himself to Chu Zihang, why is this?
It's not that the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds, it's just that Wei Ji got an offer from Boss Chu.
Chu Zihang is really a peerless good boss, no 996, no pie painting, no overtime, less demand for employees, and fast and generous approval of activity funds. The requirements are less, the requirements are low, and the remuneration is generous, which is really worthy of being a high-quality customer that Weiji likes!
During this time, the more Wei Ji took care of Chu Zihang, the more sorry he felt. During Wei Ji's injury, in the bedroom, Chu Zihang can be said to be very considerate to him, although the injury was caused by Chu Zihang, it was not easy.
In short, Boss Wei handed it over to Boss Chu for the first time, and the two of them are willing to do so, without any plot of forced buying and selling.
Of course, it was my first part-time job.
Boss Chu and Wei Ji cooperated very happily for the first time, and Wei Ji even thought about the use of this money: Chu Zihang's own share of money when he got married.
Not only is it a money-saving, but it is also very meaningful. I just don't know if Chu Zihang's future wife will have an opinion on this money......
After Chu Zihang's injuries were basically unaffected, the two quickly finalized and approved the agenda for returning to China.
Before leaving the United States, Wei Ji still wanted to say goodbye to Nuno, after all, the two were friends who had experienced the test of life and death many times, but Wei Ji didn't know where to find that girl at all.
Even the phone call is just a playful custom ringtone: "Wei Ji, Wei Ji, people, people, think about how to call again." ”
Nervous, her consistent style is not wrong with me.
Hung up the phone decisively, Wei Ji sent a text message to Nuo Nuo, only a few words, which can be regarded as a farewell.
at the airport.
Wei Ji didn't notify anyone, and naturally no one would come to pick up the plane, Chu Zihang called his mother before getting on the plane, but judging from the current situation, it seems that no one came to pick up Chu Zihang.
There is no other communication, so go back to their respective homes.
It was early morning on July 17, 2008.
Lu Mingfei was very lucky, Wei Ji and Chu Zihang still caught up, and this year's birthday will probably be unforgettable.
……
"Lu Mingfei, what time is it now, and I'm still sleeping! It's going to school tomorrow, have you done your homework? I only know that I am lazy, my grades are not good, and I don't want to work hard, I think that's all you have in your life! ”
Early in the morning, Lu Mingfei woke up to his aunt's Hedong lion roar, with hazy sleepiness and endless decay, mixed with a nagging or two words from his aunt from time to time, Lu Mingfei sat down at the table after washing.
Lu Mingfei could guess that this happened most likely because his aunt lost money playing mahjong yesterday, Lu Mingfei was silent, he knew that it was best to remain silent in this situation, and then the aunt would probably feel bored when she said it, so that she wouldn't talk about him again.
The fact is just as Lu Mingfei expected, the aunt scolded and scolded, but she still felt that scolding Lu Mingfei was not strong enough, so she turned the spearhead and began to choke on Lu Mingfei's uncle.
It seems that he lost a lot yesterday, and Lu Mingfei slandered in his heart.
"I'm done."
Almost at the same time, Lu Mingfei and his uncle spoke in unison.
"Today's class reunion, I'm out of the house."
"It's not early, I'm going to work."
There was another tacit understanding, and the men of the old Lu family looked at each other silently, quite a bit of heroic sympathy.
"You Lao Lu don't have a good thing, and you don't have any other skills, you will only bully me as a woman......"
Under the endless resentment of his aunt, Lu Mingfei went downstairs with his uncle and went out together.
……
No matter what stage of life, there is a circle, and as long as you live, you will inevitably come into contact with it.
People in the same circle may be because of similar interests, or related interests, or fate, or simply because of one person.
Lu Mingfei's class is like this, everyone more or less chose to join the literary club because of Chen Wenwen, the president.
Today is the last day of summer vacation, in order to meet the hard third year of high school, everyone decided to relax today, the literary club has many arrangements, such as going to a private theater to watch ghost movies in the morning, eating hot pot together at noon, and then in the afternoon, everyone will go to the park together to talk about literature and enjoy flowers.
Watching ghost movies is proposed by everyone. Of course, Lu Mingfei is not included in this group, and Lu Mingfei's opinions will only be things that are low in everyone's eyes, such as five consecutive sits in Internet cafes. Chen Wenwen, as the president of the Literary Society, happily passed this proposal, and everyone praised her for being a heroine among women!
Eating hot pot was proposed by Zhao Menghua for the reason that it was lively. Zhao Menghua's family is well-off and bold, and he has many younger brothers in the literary club, so with the support of a group of horses, this proposal was also successfully passed. Boss Zhao immediately said that all the consumption today was paid by him, Zhao Menghua. As a result, a group of junior brothers led by Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao patted their ass, and Boss Zhao deserved the name of impatience and justice!
The final talk about literature and flower appreciation was of course decided by the president Chen Wenwen. This season, the crape myrtle and lotus flowers in the park are blooming just right, after all, it is a literary club, and of course there is a need for an opportunity to discuss literature. After all, the literary club was established because of Chen Wenwen, as the current person with the highest prestige in the literary club, the president's proposal can be said to be a hundred responses, of course, it was successfully passed, and it was not the turn of the loyal Ma Zai Lu Mingfei to wave the flag and shout.
At this time, Lu Mingfei had just taken a taxi to the door of the private theater, covering more than two hundred yuan in his pants pocket, and he couldn't stop being moved.
More than two hundred pieces of ocean were given to him by his uncle downstairs in the morning, and they were all ten and five pieces of this kind of fragmentary banknotes, obviously, this private money Uncle had hidden for a long time.
Uncle said to him: "Ming Fei, today is your birthday, since you have a class reunion today, then you can invite your classmates to dinner." ”
It turned out that his uncle had always remembered his birthday, and Lu Mingfei was moved.
After stuffing all the banknotes into his pockets, Lu Mingfei's pants pockets became bulging, and Lu Mingfei stood at the door of the private theater and wondered if he would invite everyone to eat or drink something later.
"Hey, Lu Mingfei, why did you arrive, the movie has begun."
It was Xu Yanyan who spoke, and he didn't deal with Lu Mingfei very much on weekdays, and Lu Mingfei didn't have a good impression of this "ball".
"Oh, has the movie started?" Lu Mingfei was a little cramped.
"Nonsense, you're the latest to come, if you don't come, you won't come, why bother everyone." This time it was Xu Miaomiao, Xu Yanyan's twin brother, who spoke with malice.
Lu Mingfei nodded apologetically, but the two brothers Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao turned a blind eye, they stood in front of the counter of the private theater, holding a large number of drinks in their hands, as if they were buying water for everyone.
Lu Mingfei reacted immediately, came to the counter, and said to the young lady at the counter, "How much?" I'll pay for it. ”
Lu Mingfei thought it was a good idea, and both invited and apologized, and quickly took out the pile of banknotes in his pocket.
"Hahaha, Lu Mingfei, this is how long you have saved money, it's all curly, and it probably smells of feet."
"It's just, if you don't have money, you're pretending to be a big-headed ghost."
Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao sneered.
"Fifty-five." The cashier lady is very polite, obviously more experienced than these two people.
Lu Mingfei found five pieces of ten yuan and one piece of five yuan among the bits and pieces of banknotes. He didn't feel embarrassed, after all, it was his uncle's birthday present, and he had the most precious love and affection, which was enough to fight against all malice.
