260. Etiquette
On the sixteenth day of the first month, eight o'clock in the morning.
After Huang Shouzhen said goodbye to his parents at home, he first went to Lao Ye's house to pick up the other party in the car, and then transferred to Jinxin Huayuan to pick up Zhou Linlin, who was waiting for him at the gate of the community.
Then, after Huang Shouzhen loaded Zhou Linlin's luggage into the car, Zhou Wentao said to him: "Xiao Zhen, Linlin will ask you to take her to the train station, you remember to drive slowly on the road, anyway, the time will come in time." ”
Huang Shouzhen smiled and said, "Okay Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely send Linlin to the station safely." ”
So, after Zhou Linlin sat in the co-pilot and said goodbye to her parents, Huang Shouzhen no longer hesitated and drove directly to the direction of the city.
About an hour later, they came to the Chuzhou City Railway Station, Huang Shouzhen personally took Zhou Linlin's suitcase out of the trunk, and sent the latter into the waiting hall, and then watched the other party check the ticket and completely disappear in the boarding channel, he and Lao Ye returned to the car, and then went to Bailu City.
"Ah Zhen, how far have you and Linlin developed now, you are boyfriend and girlfriend, right?" On the way to Bailu City, Ye Haiwen had already sat in the front passenger seat, and asked Huang Shouzhen, who was concentrating on driving next to him.
"Not really. Huang Shouzhen replied in a calm tone.
"Not yet? Why...... The two of you spend more time together than Lili and me, and she went to Bailu City to play with you before. ”
"There's no reason, you don't have to be a boyfriend or girlfriend to play together. ”
"Uh...... Ah Zhen, with all due respect, you're really a little too slow, everyone has done this, you can't let her take the initiative to confess to you, right? She's a girl!"
However, when Huang Shouzhen heard Ye Haiwen say this, he still said calmly: "Linlin is not the girl you think you think in your heart, if she really likes someone, she will not be ashamed to take the initiative to confess, she doesn't talk about feelings now because she knows that she is very busy."
Don't forget, she's a real scholar, and she's not the same as us poor students who read badly.
After she goes back to school, she has to stay focused on her studies, and maybe she will have to take the graduate school entrance examination in the future, she has such a heavy study task, how can she have time to talk to me about any long-distance relationship?"
Ye Haiwen choked suddenly.
After a long while, he asked with a wry smile: "Ah Zhen, you are so sure of her thoughts, are you saying it like this? What if she is just ashamed to confess and waiting for you to take the initiative to speak?"
Aren't you worried at all, and in the end you missed her because you didn't take the initiative to open this mouth?"
When Huang Shouzhen heard this, he glanced at Ye Haiwen slightly, and then retracted his gaze and remained silent for a long time before he replied leisurely: "Emotional matters are undemanding, and long-distance relationships are so painful."
In particular, in many cases, it is only a small matter, but when two people express it in words, their comprehension ability is very different from that of expressing it in person, and it will lead to arguments, which will lead to unnecessary conflicts, and I don't want to experience this kind of pain.
You've been away from Zhang Lili for so long, you should have tried this kind of taste, right?"
When Ye Haiwen heard Huang Shouzhen say this, he was shocked in his heart.
Except for having an affair with Xu Mengjia for a period of time before, hasn't this guy never been in love?
Do you still understand the pain of long-distance relationships?
But I have to admit that Ah Zhen did guess accurately.
When I text Lili now, I often get into an argument over trivial things.
And a lot of times, I didn't mean anything superfluous in what I said, but Lili would always think about it, and then misinterpret my meaning, so that there was a dispute.
"Ah Zhen, something is wrong with you, haven't you never been in love before, you actually understand this? Honestly, where did you get your love spirit and experience?"
Ye Haiwen thought about it for a while, but still squinted and asked the curiosity in his heart.
Huang Shouzhen, who was driving, heard the other party asking, rolled his eyes directly, and said angrily: "I haven't eaten pork, haven't I ever seen a pig run?"
......
At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned to Chashan Town, Bailu City.
However, before entering his house, Huang Shouzhen first went to the landlord's house with the gift box and paid a New Year's greeting to the two of them.
The second elder was very happy, and praised him again and again for being sensible, and then he had to let them go over for dinner at night.
After a brief New Year's greeting and tea, Huang Shouzhen returned to his home before and after, took out the firecrackers that had been prepared long ago from the trunk of the car, and then spread them on the ground and set them off, then took out the key to open the courtyard door and drove the car in.
Although today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival has passed, Huang Shouzhen entered the house on the first day of the new year after all, and he must have to go through this formality.
This is also for the second elder.
Most of the elderly people like the landlord care about these traditional etiquette, and the door cannon is a symbol of a good start in the new year, so it is undoubtedly necessary for him to make up for this form.
And after the cannon was fired, after Huang Shouzhen and Ye Haiwen cleaned the house a little together, the two of them also came out to paste the Spring Festival couplets.
Although these etiquettes were half a month late, there was no way, after all, they only returned to Bailu City today.
But anyway, they're making up for it now, and it's better than nothing!
And after he and Lao Ye finished the sanitation work, Xu Fan and Chen Lei also came back, Huang Shouzhen wanted to complain about whether they deliberately waited for themselves to finish cleaning before coming back, but seeing that they all brought New Year's gifts to themselves this time, he held back in time.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, after the three of them sent Ye Haiwen's luggage back to Area F, they went to the landlord's house for dinner.
However, Huang Shouzhen saw that the two elders were busy preparing dinner for them, cleaning up the seafood and preparing pork leg sticks, so he was really worried about whether it would tire the two elders, so he could only urge Xu Fan and the three of them to help prepare the ingredients, and let the two elders guide or rest beside them.
As for himself, he was naturally in charge of cooking, and in turn cooked a sumptuous dinner for the second elder.
At about six o'clock in the evening, after the happy dinner was over, Huang Shouzhen and the four of them helped the second elder clean up the housework, and did not return to his house until about seven o'clock.
After he gave Xu Fan three people, each of whom a red envelope of 100 yuan to start work, he no longer hesitated, and went straight to the point: "Tomorrow and the next two days are weekends, the school is not in class, and we should have nothing to do after reporting to the school, so tomorrow morning we will finish dealing with the school affairs and immediately leave for Chuzhou City."
We have seven new projects to do, and it will take us two days to get the building dimensions back, right?"
