Reborn since 2005

Chapter 288 Kind Parents

Yan Xin and Xiao Shiyu didn't communicate much when they were studying, that is, when they first sat at the same table, they would occasionally say a few words, but after they were at different tables, they basically didn't talk.

That is to say, before the college entrance examination, the class leader suggested that all the students in the same class add a QQ number, so that they can contact each other later, so they added a QQ number.

Classmates in the same class for three years, they didn't talk as much as they chatted on QQ.

Their relationship at school was nothing more than an ordinary relationship with classmates, not even friends.

After leaving the campus, I made a lot of contacts on QQ.

Some people are like that. They can't say a lot when they meet each other, but they can say it online.

In the previous life, Yan Xin and Xiao Shiyu had no connection on QQ, mainly due to low self-esteem, and felt that they were not from the same world as such a girl from a good family background, good academic performance and good looks, so there was nothing to talk about.

More than ten years later, Xiao Shiyu suddenly wanted to meet him, which made him somewhat puzzled, not knowing why.

After rebirth, without that kind of inferiority complex, I was able to chat.

What made the relationship between the two of them a step further was that they asked Xiao Shiyu to act as his girlfriend last year.

After this incident, the two became friends.

In fact, Yan Xin has some regrets about this matter.

What he heard about Xiao Shiyu's marriage to a rich old man in his previous life made him feel that she was a gold digger, and that asking her to act as his girlfriend with 500 yuan was a deal.

As a result, he agreed to him at the time, but later secretly gave him the money.

This is what I owe her.

He dislikes debts of favor the least, because it is not easy to repay.

But things are already like this, and there is no way to stuff the 500 yuan back, so the favor that is owed can only be owed.

I still have that thought in my heart, if there is a chance to repay this favor, I have to repay it in time.

If he hadn't owed this favor, he might not have spared time to come here to meet Xiao Shiyu after the New Year's Eve.

However, after chatting with Xiao Shiyu, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Xiao Shiyu has a high EQ and is very good at taking care of people's emotions. When chatting, she will not embarrass people or appear cold.

It feels very comfortable.

When he was studying, Xiao Shiyu was a cold image in Yan Xin's mind. Under normal circumstances, Yan Xin would not dare to talk to this girl, even if they were at the same table for half a year.

Now after getting in touch with it, I realized that it is quite easy to talk to.

Xiao Shiyu has more contact with former classmates, and her popularity is better than Yan Xin.

But this is quite normal, after all, she is a beautiful girl.

But Yan Xin had a low self-esteem back then, and not many did well in school.

Xiao Shiyu knows the current situation of many students in the class. She knows how many students have been admitted to junior college, which students have chosen to repeat their studies, and how many of them have been admitted to junior college in this year's college entrance examination. .

In a class, she was the only one who passed the exam.

The remaining highest achievement is to be admitted to a junior college.

More went out to work.

Some of them are married.

This surprised Yan Xin: "Some of our classmates are married? Isn't that a little too young?"

"Not only are there, but there are still a few more." Xiao Shiyu said, "There are both male and female students, but there are more female students."

She said the names of those classmates who got married.

Only one of them is a man. Although they are in the same class as them, he has stayed in a grade before and is two or three years older than both of them. Now that he has reached the marriageable age, it is normal for him to get married.

The other few are all female classmates. It is enough for women to marry at the age of [-], and they have also reached this age.

One by one's names were spoken out, and the figures of those classmates also appeared in Yan Xin's mind.

Among them, a female classmate seemed to be quite interesting to him when he was studying, and she always took the initiative to talk to him. After graduation, she even sent him a QQ message, saying that she would come to his house to play.

It's just that Yan Xin said that he has already worked outside, so that's all.

At that time, he didn't have a mobile phone, and he couldn't access QQ anytime and anywhere. It was inconvenient to contact him, and he didn't contact him later.

Unexpectedly, after more than a year, the other party actually got married, which is really embarrassing.

Yan Xin didn't have feelings for that female classmate, but felt that time had passed too fast, and there was a feeling that the mountains and rivers were still the same, and everything was different.

The two were sitting in the living room chatting, and when it was past ten o'clock, the alarm clock on Xiao Shiyu's mobile phone rang, looked at the time, stood up, and said with a smile:

"It's time, it's time to cook, old classmate, will you help me cook together, or just watch TV here?"

Of course Yan Xin couldn't say what he was sitting here watching TV, so he stood up and said:
"I can't cook, but I can help you."

"Then let's cook a meal together." Xiao Shiyu said.

The two walked into the kitchen, and Yan Xin was a little curious: "Who cooks for your dad when you're not at home?"

Xiao Shiyu said with a smile: "My mother is still here. She doesn't have to go to work, but in this store, there are other people in the store. Usually at this time, she will go home to cook. Sometimes I'm really too busy, so my dad is eating in the cafeteria."

"What do your parents do?" Yan Xin asked again.

He heard from Xiao Shiyu that her father was a civil servant and her mother was in business, but he didn't know what they did.

Xiao Shiyu didn't hide anything from him, and said, "My dad is a civil servant, and my mom runs a furniture store. My dad used to work in the town, and the furniture store was also open in our town. Last year, my dad had some job changes. , When I came to the county, my mother came with me, and she was still doing her job, opening a furniture store. My cousin and sister-in-law helped to look after the store, and she had quite free time."

Yan Xin asked: "Then will your mother come back for dinner at noon today?"

Xiao Shiyu shook her head: "She's not here today, there are relatives getting married in her hometown, and she's going to have dinner there."

She said with a smile: "I was going to take me to dinner together, but I don't like those elders asking around like interrogating prisoners and asking some strange questions, so I told her that I am today There are classmates coming to play, and we need to receive classmates."

Yan Xin couldn't help laughing: "So I'm your shield?"

Xiao Shiyu smiled and shook his head: "That's not it. When I told my mother that some classmates came over, I haven't contacted you yet. But I thought, so many classmates have come back for the New Year, and I can always find someone to help me deal with it." It's bad."

Yan Xin nodded: "That's true."

Xiao Shiyu is so pretty, there are quite a few people who are willing to help her.

Xiao Shiyu added: "The first person I looked for was you. I didn't have too much hope at first, but I thought that you have written so many good songs, and now you should be a busy person. Come here, I didn't expect you to agree."

"The old classmate has a request, and this must be agreed." Yan Xin said seriously.

"Really? I'm so honored." Xiao Shiyu said happily.

He continued: "My dad has indeed told me several times that he wants to meet you, a talented young man. He really likes your songs, and there are still several discs of your songs at home. .”

"I'm also very honored." Yan Xin said.

Xiao Shiyu said with some embarrassment: "But they are all pirated copies."

Yan Xin shrugged: "You can guess this, because the singers in our company have released a total of one record. If you say how many copies you bought, it must be a pirated copy."

The company didn't make money from albums in the first place, but now that piracy is rampant and there are many free download resources on the Internet, it is difficult to make money from album sales itself, so he doesn't care about it.

During the cooking, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Xiao Shiyu what her father's job as a civil servant was.

It’s somewhat selfish to ask this—know someone who is an official and establish a good relationship, so you don’t have to worry about being bullied locally in the future.

He didn't think about any collusion between the government and businessmen. His career would not be put here, he just didn't want to be bullied.

Xiao Shiyu didn't hide from him, but revealed her father's position.

He can't be regarded as a high-ranking official, but just a deputy section chief. He used to work in the township, but was transferred to the county last year to work as the deputy director of the civil affairs department.

Not the leader of a powerful department.

Her family's income mainly comes from the furniture store opened by her mother, and the annual income is several times higher than his father's salary.

The houses in the town, as well as the houses bought in this county, are all made from furniture stores.

Xiao Shiyu probably wanted to express this meaning to Yan Xin by explaining it this way-although my father is a civil servant, he is not corrupt, and my family's current money is earned by my mother's business.

Yan Xin didn't say anything, but he didn't think so in his heart.

He is not a person who has just stepped out of society, and he still has a little understanding of this society. He feels that if Xiao Shiyu's father does not have such a position, her mother's furniture store business may not be so profitable.

However, this kind of thing cannot be called corruption.

It seems impossible to say how upright it is.

He had heard of similar things.

Xiao Shiyu said these words, but it also explained why her family conditions are so good.

Yan Xin couldn't understand just thinking about her marrying an old man who was decades older than him in the future.

A girl from such a wealthy family would not be able to marry someone she doesn't like just for money.

Could it be that she really loves that old man?

There are some doubts in my heart.

But it's not easy to ask Xiao Shiyu about this matter, even if you ask, you can't get an answer - because Xiao Shiyu himself doesn't know that such a thing will happen to her in a few years.

The two of them are in this kitchen, cooking and chatting without feeling tired or bored.

Yan Xin is not good at cooking, the taste of the cooking can only be said to be better than his father's cooking, but it is still okay to cook.

In his previous life, he had a lot of experience in helping Feng Xi.

Xiao Shiyu also didn't seem to have learned how to cook seriously, she should have learned how to cook home-cooked food from her mother, it looks like a wild way, not as professional as Ai Lili.

However, those who cook those dishes are quite skilled.

She told Yan Xin that she had already learned to cook when she was in elementary school, and sometimes she had to take care of herself when she was alone at home.

She also likes to cook, and she is thinking of enrolling in a cooking class after graduating from university to improve her cooking skills.

Yan Xin thought in her heart: "This girl is not bad, whoever wants to marry into the family will enjoy a lot of happiness."

Just thinking about her future, she actually married an old man who was dozens of years older than her. After a few years of marriage, the old man died and inherited hundreds of millions of wealth by herself.

With such wealth, he would never cook for himself.

It's a pity.

After he was reborn, he wanted to change his own fate, his father's fate, Feng Xi's fate, and later Ai Lili's fate.

But he never thought of changing Xiao Shiyu's fate.

Even now he doesn't think so.

It is indeed a pity for a young and beautiful girl to marry an old man who is decades older than herself.

However, that is her own choice.

And she also reaps enormous benefits from such a choice.

What others think is a pity, it may be the most worthwhile investment in her.

So he didn't have to change this.

Forcibly changing, thinking that it is saving others from the sea of ​​suffering, maybe it is pushing the other person into the sea of ​​fire.

Before establishing a relationship with Ai Lili, he still had some thoughts on Xiao Shiyu, a beautiful old classmate, and thought about whether to change her fate.

The main reason for having that kind of thought is because this old classmate is beautiful, and there are no other emotional factors.

He not only saw Xiao Shiyu's beauty when she was a girl, but also saw her beauty when she matured, so it's impossible for him to be completely unmoved.

Men, after all, are visual animals. When they see a beautiful girl, they will have some ideas.

However, after establishing a relationship with Ai Lili, she no longer had such thoughts.

Bigamy is against the law. If you can't give the other party a result, don't start.

This is what he asks of himself.

Without that kind of thinking, naturally he would not interfere with Xiao Shiyu's choice.

It is not a bad thing for those who like money to get money in the end.

It can only be said that if Xiao Shiyu doesn't want to live that kind of life and needs his help, he will still help if he can.

Just for the love that this girl helped me last year.

The kitchen wasn't very busy, and Xiao Shiyu didn't plan to cook a lot of dishes, so the two of them handled it with ease.

She told Yan Xin that she usually eats four dishes at home, two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and one soup.

Sometimes there will be an extra plate of kimchi as an appetizer.

This time Yan Xin came over, at least he was also a guest, so he cooked a few more dishes.

The soup is seaweed egg drop soup, which is very simple to prepare.

The dishes include a braised pork ribs, a steamed crucian carp, a scrambled egg with chives, and a fried pork with winter bamboo shoots.

In addition, there is a plate of braised pork belly, a cold dish of dried radish, and a plate of preserved eggs.

A total of eight dishes can be made.

Xiao Shiyu calculated the time for cooking these dishes, so that the food wouldn't get cold if he cooked it too early, and the food wouldn't be ready when his father came back.

At twelve o'clock, the food is not well done.

Several dishes were put on the dining table, and two dishes were kept in bowls to keep them from getting cold.

After a few minutes, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Shiyu said to Yan Xin: "It should be my dad."

While talking, he went to open the door.

Yan Xin was originally sitting, but now she also stood up.

Xiao Shiyu is his classmate and also his friend. Xiao Shiyu's father is an elder to him. When an elder comes, of course he can't just sit there still.

Xiao Shiyu opened the door, and a middle-aged man in a black woolen coat appeared at the door.

"Dad, you're back!"

Xiao Shiyu first greeted Yan Xin enthusiastically, and then led his hand towards Yan Xin:
"This is the talented musician I told you about, my classmate Yan Xinyan."

Then introduce to Yan Xin: "Yan Xin, this is my dad."

Dad Xiao's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Are you the one who wrote the song "The Immortal"? I like your songs very much. I like every song. It's so good! I really don't Thinking, Shishi actually has such a good classmate as you!"

Yan Xin said embarrassingly: "When I was studying, I didn't study hard, so I liked those messy things, which made Uncle Xiao laugh."

"It's not a mess," Dad Xiao said seriously, "It's a work of literature and art, and it's the spiritual food of the common people!"

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Yan Xin had no choice but to be humble once again for those real songwriters.

She had never met Xiao Shiyu's father in her previous life, and this was also the first time meeting her.

It can only be said that he looks like an official.

Especially the big belly, in this era, is basically a symbol of being an official in this small county.

Ordinary people want to raise such a big belly, but they really can't raise it.

Of course, in a few years time, middle-aged men with big bellies will be seen everywhere in small counties.

A big belly is no longer a symbol of high-quality life, but has become a worry for most middle-aged people.

Although there is a smile on his face, when he is not smiling, there is a sense of majesty between his brows.

——This is actually not surprising. It doesn’t mean that any person is born with the so-called official air, it’s just that after staying in a position with some power for a long time, he naturally has that kind of momentum.

Not to mention a civil servant at the sub-section level in a small county town, even if he is the security squad leader of a property company, after a long time, he will have a sense of majesty in front of the employees below him.

The more power you have, the stronger your aura will be.

The attitude towards Yan Xin is quite warm, maybe it's because he really likes Yan Xin's songs, maybe it's because of his own temper.

Yan Xin was still a little nervous at first, feeling that an elder who was a civil servant might not be so easy to deal with.

But after a few words, I found that the other party's attitude was very kind, and there was no airs at all, so I felt relieved.

Is a good person to get along with.

After Papa Xiao came back, he washed his hands and went to the dining table, ready to eat.

Xiao Shiyu also brought over a bottle of wine from Yan Xin, and said with a smile, "Dad, this is the wine from Yan Xin. I'll pour it for you and see how it tastes."

Papa Xiao glanced at it and said, "I've had this wine before, it's pretty good."

He blamed Yan Xin again: "You said you kid, you can just come here, why do you give such a heavy gift? This wine costs hundreds of dollars a bottle, right?"

He has drunk a lot of wine, but he rarely buys wine himself, and it is normal not to know the exact price.

Yan Xin could only smile and say, "This one is not expensive."

While pouring wine for her father, Xiao Shiyu said, "Dad, you don't know that Yan Xin is not only good at writing songs, but also good at making money. With the money he earned from writing songs, he started a company and made money by himself. Boss, now that the family has built a house and bought a house in Yangcheng, this time when I come back for the Chinese New Year, I will drive a Mercedes-Benz."

Dad Xiao listened, and his eyes lit up when he looked at Yan Xin: "Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to have such abilities!"

Yan Xin said modestly: "It's just luck, and then I got the help of some friends. I can't do anything by myself."

This is also true.

Without the help of others, relying only on himself, he should still be a small security guard now. At most, he can save some money to buy some stocks, and he will have a chance to build a brick house next year.

It is absolutely impossible to own the current assets.

Dad Xiao only thought he was modest, and had a better impression of him, and asked him enthusiastically if he wanted to have a drink together.

Before Yan Xin could refuse, Xiao Shiyu refused for him: "Dad, Yan Xin has to drive back today, so he can't drink, not even a sip. If you're bored drinking alone, I'll accompany you Have a drink."

This also let Yan Xin breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know if it's because of liver function problems. His alcohol capacity is really bad, and he can get drunk after a little wine. At most, he can drink some beer, and he can't drink too much.

A small glass of baijiu like this is enough.

Moreover, he really didn't like the taste of baijiu, thinking it was too spicy.

When Dad Xiao heard that he was going to drive back, he couldn't persuade him to drink anymore.

On the contrary, Xiao Shiyu really poured herself a glass of wine, and drank with her father.

As for Yan Xin, he could only substitute orange juice and toast with the father and daughter frequently.

Because of drinking, I ate a meal for more than half an hour.

Yan Xin noticed that Xiao Shiyu drank two glasses of wine with her father.

The glass is very small. If a glass of wine is filled to the brim, it will be about one tael.

Drinking two cups will not exceed two taels, which is not a good amount of alcohol.

But for Yan Xin, that was already a huge amount.

Two taels of white wine is enough to get him drunk.

But Xiao Shiyu's face didn't turn red after drinking two glasses of white wine, and he spoke normally.

He had to feel that this old classmate was really good at drinking.

Of course, the fact may simply be that he was drinking too badly.

Dad Xiao was not drunk either, and his expression was very normal.

After eating, Xiao Shiyu was asked to clean up the dishes, while he took Yan Xin to sit in the living room. Xiao Shiyu made a cup of tea for the two of them, and they chatted while drinking tea. .

Not long after, Xiao Shiyu came out after washing the dishes, and sat on the other side, chatting with them.

During this process, Yan Xin found that the relationship between their father and daughter was very good. It can be seen from their getting along that this is a very happy family.

Xiao's father is a civil servant, so he must support national policies, so there is only Xiao Shiyu, the only daughter, and this one child, there is no patriarchal thought, and he still loves this daughter very much.

He also showed a considerable degree of respect for Yan Xin, the friend brought by his daughter, and was very enthusiastic, but not so enthusiastic that it made people uncomfortable.

Yan Xin inexplicably thought of one thing: "If Feng Xi's parents were so reasonable, we wouldn't have had such a difficult time in our previous life."

Then I thought: "If I married Xiao Shiyu in my previous life, I should be very happy, right?"

But this idea was born, and I denied it again:

"That's not necessarily the case. With the conditions of my previous life, how could Xiao Shiyu marry me? Her father might not be as polite to me as he is now."

Another question came to mind: "If my life is still the same as the previous life, just a little security guard, will Lily like me, will she choose to fall out with her mother and live with me for the rest of her life?"

Suddenly, I felt that this question was a bit cruel.

Maybe, he can't make himself better, Feng Xi is the only one who is willing to marry him and face the hardships of life with him in this life.

Coming to such a conclusion made him a little dazed, and he felt a little absent-minded when chatting.

Xiao's father still has to go to work in the afternoon, and he will leave at [-]:[-].

Yan Xin also got up and said goodbye. He said that he would buy some new year's goods to take home.

Father Xiao stayed for a few words, then stopped, and said to Xiao Shiyu: "There are still two legs of sika deer meat hanging on the balcony, you give one leg to Xiao Yan."

Xiao Shiyu responded, ran to the balcony, quickly brought over a leg of venison, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Yan Xin.

Yan Xin was not pretentious either. He thanked him and accepted it. It happened to be a new dish. There was another dish during the Chinese New Year.

He went downstairs with Papa Xiao, and Xiao Shiyu also sent him down.

After going downstairs, Yan Xin drove Dad Xiao to his work place, and then went to buy some fireworks, salutes, Spring Festival couplets and lanterns, and then drove home.

When he was about to go back, he thought about whether he should go to the Golden Morning Sun store to have a look, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up the idea and drove home.

　The day before yesterday I chopped firewood for an afternoon, and I used too much force. In the past two days, my arms and waist hurt, which affects the state of coding.Hope to bring up the update in the next few days.
