Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 636, Old Friend

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

While he was thinking, Hua's father drove in from outside and the window was rolled down before the car stopped.

"Xiao Le!"

"uncle!"

Yang Xiaole greeted with a smile.

Hua's father got out of the car in a suit and tie, smiling: "Your aunt called and said you should come back for dinner in the evening. I will be back as soon as the class is over."

Seeing him close the car door, Yang Xiaole handed him a cigarette and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be so polite. This is not my first time here."

"Hey! You've been away for a few months, it's rare for you to come here! Let's have a couple of drinks!"

Hua's father said with a smile.

He took the cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.

Yang Xiaole agreed with a smile: "Okay!"

Then several people walked towards the house.

After coming in, Hua's father was naturally more concerned about the situation in the mainland.

Just asked some questions.

Yang Xiaole was talking about the situation in the mainland: "... This is roughly the situation. I don't think it's possible to go back in the short term...."

Father Hua nodded gently when he heard this.

Sighed: "If you can't go back, then you can't go back!"

The previous generation is no longer around, and all my family members are here, so this place is naturally home.

Then he said, "Hey, when will this end? Let alone other things, at least those who do scientific research should be treated as they should be, right? Hey. If this continues, in the future..."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly and said nothing.

There are still several years to go!

However, the situation has improved slightly in recent years, and many teachers have been transferred back.

Father Hua sighed and said softly, "Today I met a person who escaped from the mainland. He came to our school to apply for a job, but was rejected because his English level was not good enough. Later he went to the Chinese University. He is still from our city!"

Yang Xiaole sighed when he heard this: "It's okay, it will get better in the future."

Then he said, "If you can come here, it means that your family is quite capable here!"

Hua's father shook his head: "Their family is considered wealthy in Hong Kong Island, but they are not capable of defeating them. They are just lucky."

"Oh? What's going on?"

Yang Xiaole liked to listen to gossip, so he naturally asked another question.

"The family was assigned to Hainan Island, and they asked someone there to write a letter to Hong Kong Island. Then the people here found a way to get a fishing boat to bring them over."

Hua's father was talking there.

While she was thinking, Su Ling came out and asked, "Can you take it from such a distance?"

Father Hua nodded: "Yes, so I'm lucky. Oh, by the way, he is also our schoolmate! But not in the same grade, he is one year higher than us."

Su Ling smiled and said, "Oh? Who is it? Maybe I know him!"

After all, there weren’t many college students in those days.

"What do you mean you know him? I don't even know him. His last name is Luo! He lives quite far from us, in Yanzhi Hutong..."

Su Ling nodded when she heard this: "I really don't know him. I don't think there's anyone with the last name Luo among my classmates!"

Listening to the two people talking, Yang Xiaole was stunned.

I hurriedly asked, "Uncle! What's the name of the Luo you mentioned? Does he live in No. **, Yanzhi Hutong? Is his name Luo Jinping?"

It reminded him of someone.

Luo Jinping, his elementary school class teacher.

But isn’t Luo Jinping in the northwest with his children?

How could he go to Hainan Island? It shouldn’t be him.

But I was still worried, so I asked again.

Father Hua thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't remember his name, it was just Luo, he didn't mention his name, and I don't know what address he lived in, he just mentioned it casually."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole frowned.

He felt it was unlikely to be Luo Jinping.

But there won't be so many coincidences.

I always feel that there is some possibility, so it’s better to ask clearly.

Su Ling was puzzled when she saw this: "Xiao Le, what's wrong? Do you know him?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said, "Auntie, do you still remember my primary school teacher? His name is Luo Jinping! I met him once before!"

Su Ling thought about it and nodded: "I seem to have some impression, but I can't remember it clearly."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said, "It's been too long, it's normal that you don't remember."

After all, the two of them only met once, so it's normal that they don't know each other.

Thinking of this, he asked Hua's father: "Uncle! Does your school have his information? Where does he live now?"

Hua's father shook his head: "After being rejected, his information was returned to him. I don't know where he lives. He said he wanted to try the Chinese University of Hong Kong Island. I don't know if he went today!"

Yang Xiaole frowned.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."

He decided to go to the Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a look.

Although Hua's father felt that it was unlikely that the person was his teacher, he would not dissuade him.

"How are you going to find it? This place is not close to the Chinese University!"

"It's okay, I'll find someone to help me find it."

Naturally, I wouldn’t say that I would go there and come back quickly.

Seeing him say that, they naturally wouldn't stop him.

"Hey, it's time to eat, what are you going to do?"

After coming out, Hua Yourong saw Yang Xiaole was about to go out and asked him.

Yang Xiaole took the key and got into Hua Yourong's car directly: "I have to go out for something. Auntie knows what's going on! I won't say more!"

After saying that, he drove away.

The car drove out of the yard, out of the community, and came to a small woods halfway up the mountain.

After making sure that there was no one nearby, he parked the car into the space and headed in the general direction of HKU.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong is the university that was just merged a few years ago.

This broke the fate of Hong Kong Island having only one university for so many years.

The place is only a dozen kilometers away, and you have to cross the mountains. The address is located on the seaside in the central part of Hong Kong Island.

He had paid attention on the road, but saw no one.

Come to the place.

The university was over by then.

He didn't come here to look for someone, but to see if he could find the other person's file.

The prerequisite is that the Chinese University will consider Luo Jinping and accept his resume, otherwise it will not be found.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong is composed of three major Chinese faculties, which are managed separately.

pity.

I searched all three colleges, but still couldn't find Luo Jinping's name.

Worried that he had changed his name, they specially looked for all those with the surname Luo.

Still couldn't find it.

Yang Xiaole stood in an office at school, frowning.

Not Luo Jinping?
Or, he didn't come to the Chinese University?
Then I thought of a question, but I didn’t ask whether this happened in the morning or afternoon.

If it is afternoon, it is far from the city.

Then it is possible that he will not come today, and may come tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, he could only rush towards the villa area.

On the way, I was thinking about some questions.

He only knew that Luo Jinping was the second wife of the Luo family. He did not go because of the obstruction of the first wife and because a spark of friendship was left in the mainland.

The eldest branch of the Luo family is very rich.

It seems his last name is Zhao!

I just don’t know whether the Zhao family has developed in Hong Kong Island after such a long time.

Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to find out.

After all, there were too many rich people who came here back then.

Not everyone has the ability to do business.

However, when he was going back, he still scanned the places he passed by one by one, to see if he might be lucky enough to come across them.

But I still didn’t see it all the way here.

Just when he reached the Ho Man Tin villa area, he continued to move forward to see if there was any hope in the remaining distance.

Yang Xiaole finally found the person he was looking for.

In a shantytown, Lao Luo had just returned from outside, looking dejected.

"What's wrong? Still not working?"

Lao Luo's wife was cooking at home. When she saw him come back, she asked him a question.

Luo Jinping nodded slightly when he heard this: "The teaching at HKU is all in English. The Chinese University is too far away. I don't have the money to go there. I will go there early tomorrow morning."

He rubbed the head of a little girl of six or seven years old next to him.

Song Yuhong looked at her man, not daring to put too much pressure on him, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, eat first, don't let your stomach get sick later."

Luo Jinping said, "Then I'll go to the Polytechnic Institute tomorrow. I don't really want to go to the Chinese University. I'm not in the cultural field."

Song Yuhong thought about it and nodded gently: "Okay, you decide for yourself, the university is close to home."

Hearing this, Luo Jinping nodded gently: "Okay, I'll go to the Polytechnic Institute tomorrow to see, where's Maomao?"

"Maomao hasn't come back yet, but he should be here soon. Let's eat first. The garment factory is busy, so I'll go to the night shift later."

……

The two were talking there.

Yang Xiaole watched quietly there.

This is a shed of about ten square meters, with a wooden bunk bed and a lot of miscellaneous items piled up inside.

Very dirty and messy.

This is very common in Hong Kong Island.

There was a pot of white rice porridge on the table, and the staple food was okay, just white flour steamed buns.

As for the little girl next to her.

The last time Sister Luo moved to the Malan base, it has been so many years, so it is normal for her to have another child.

After all, he was only in his thirties at that time.

He looked around and quietly found a place where no one was around.

Walk straight towards the wooden house.

The houses here are very crowded, with each house next to the other, and only enough space to walk on either side.

"Teacher Luo!"

Yang Xiaole stood at the door and called out softly.

This voice made Luo Jinping stunned for a moment.

Turning my head, I saw a young man in bright clothes standing not far away.

Luo Jinping put his things down and stood up.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who are you..."

Finally, with a hint of uncertainty, he asked, "Are you Yang Xiaole?"

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person's miserable appearance, took a deep breath, and came in carrying something: "Teacher Luo, I didn't expect you still knew him!"

The last time we met was at the Malan Base, when I was about fifteen years old.

It's been eight years now.

It has changed so much that it is not surprising that it is unrecognizable.

Luo Jinping was shocked when he heard this: "You...you are Xiaole? Why are you here? Aren't you in the mainland?"

Song Yuhong next to her was also extremely surprised.

"You...are you Xiaole who used to deliver food and money to our family? Oh my, I didn't recognize you at first glance. You've grown so tall!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Yes, it's been quite a few years since we last met!"

Seeing this, Song Yuhong sighed: "We didn't know that Lao Luo went to the northwest that year, and it happened to be a difficult period. If not, we don't know whether we can survive!"

Seeing this, Lao Luo hurriedly said, "Sit down! Don't stand. Have you eaten? Otherwise..."

But when I looked at the food on my table, I felt embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole put down the things he brought and said, "Teacher Luo, there's nothing. Give the child something to eat."

I didn't bring much stuff.

Just some sweets, cakes and wine.

It’s a bit inappropriate to bring food for the first time.

Seeing this, Song Yuhong looked at the little girl who was looking at him timidly and said with a smile: "Juanjuan, call me brother!"

The little girl stared with big eyes and whispered, "Brother!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and rubbed her head, saying, "Hey, Xiaojuan, right? Be good! Come, eat this."

Instead of taking candy, he took some cakes and put them in the other person's hand.

The little girl swallowed and didn't dare to take it. Instead, she looked at her father beside her.

Seeing Luo Jinping nodded, he took it and said, "Thank you, brother!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "You're welcome, eat!"

Then sat down.

Seeing this, Luo Jinping asked, "How did you know I was here?"

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "I have an uncle who works at HKU. He chatted with you when you went to apply for the job today! I only found out about it after chatting for a while, and then I asked someone to find out and found this place. It's easy to find! You wrote down a rough address now."

I said this after reading his resume.

Luo Jinping thought about it and decided that the person he talked to the most today was naturally his fellow villager from BJ.

"Is your last name Hua?"

"Oh, yes! That's him!"

Hearing this, Luo Jinping sighed: "It's really fate!"

Then he looked at his wife: "Um... go buy some food! Xiaole, have a meal here. We haven't seen each other for so many years."

Song Yuhong was a little embarrassed, but still agreed.

Yang Xiaole looked at Song Yuhong who was about to go in to find money and said with a smile: "Auntie, no need, I've already eaten, and I have something else to do later. I'll come back when I'm done."

It's almost hard to make ends meet.

He just felt a little confused.

The Luo family wouldn't be so poor if they came here.

I already have some idea of ​​what's going on.

Luo Jinping pulled his glasses and asked with a smile, "Why are you in Hong Kong Island?"

"Oh, I'm here for something, to carry out a mission, it's not convenient to tell you!"

Yang Xiaole answered casually.

When Luo Jinping heard that he had a mission, he asked curiously, "Are you still in the mainland? Not in Hong Kong Island?"

"Well, not in Hong Kong Island, I'm in the army now!"

Then he asked, "Teacher Luo, weren't you in the northwest? Why did you go to Hainan? And why are you here?"

Luo Jinping heard that he was in the army and had a mission.

So I didn't ask any more questions.

But he still looked around and said, "Don't mention the northwest here."

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person's tense expression and sighed.

Even at this point, you're still thinking about keeping it a secret.

"I know, don't mention it!"

Luo Jinping nodded, then sighed and said, "We were originally in the northwest, but something happened a few years ago! Because of family problems, we could no longer stay there, and were assigned to Hainan..."

Let’s talk about the general situation.

Due to special reasons, they were assigned to Hainan Island, which is still a desolate island today.

Worked there for two years.

I found an opportunity and sent the letter to Hong Kong Island.

When Luo Jinping's father found out, he used his connections to secretly bring him to Hong Kong Island.

The connection he was looking for was naturally that of his first wife, the Zhao family.

I have been here for about ten days.

After listening to this, Yang Xiaole looked at the house and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then why do you live here?"

Luo Jinping sighed when he heard this: "It cost us a lot of money to come to Hong Kong Island. My father gave me some money and we came out to live on our own. Then bad luck happened. All my money and belongings were robbed. I have no choice but to live here."

Yang Xiaole frowned when he heard this.

Luo Jinping's words were very vague.

There must be something he doesn't know about.

Thinking about the fact that I didn't bring them with me when I came to Hong Kong Island, I can naturally guess something.

Nor did I expose anyone's scars.

Looking at the dilapidated wooden house, he asked, "Is this the house you rented?"

Luo Jinping nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Well, I didn't have any money, so I rented this house. I'm sorry to make a fool of myself."

Looking at his former students, they were dressed in bright clothes.

It's really embarrassing that I have become so miserable.

Yang Xiaole didn't care. He looked around and asked, "Teacher Luo, where is your boss?"

"Oh, he's moving goods at the dock. He should be back soon."

Yang Xiaole hummed lightly and said, "Teacher Luo, stop eating. We'll go out to eat later. I'll treat you guys!"

Seeing this, Luo Jinping quickly waved his hand: "No, no! Your aunt has to go to work soon. It's only been a few days since she left. If she doesn't go, it won't be good!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was about to speak when he heard someone shouting outside.

"Mom, is the meal ready? I'm starving."

As he was talking, a young man wearing a sweatshirt, dirty and with dark skin walked in.

After coming in, his voice became lower when he saw Yang Xiaole.

Looking at the brightly dressed Yang Xiaole, he frowned: "What else do you want? We are already living like this, is it necessary to chase us here?"

"Luo Zigui, how can you talk like that? So rude?"

Luo Jinping frowned and shouted.

Seeing this, Luo Zigui said, "Dad! Am I wrong? Zhao Lerong..."

"Shut up, this is my student, have you forgotten him? He used to bring you food."

"Student? Bring me food?"

Luo Zigui was surprised when he heard this.

Song Yuhong smiled and said, "Yes! Have you forgotten that when we lived in Yanzhi Hutong, there was a brother who sent food to our family? Have you forgotten?"

Luo Zigui blinked his eyes. He was only about ten years old at that time.

Naturally, he had forgotten what Yang Xiaole looked like, but he remembered this incident.

After looking him over, he asked in disbelief, "Is it really... is it really him?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Maomao, right!"

This made Luo Zigui embarrassed: "It really is you! I'm sorry! I thought it was someone from my aunt's side!"

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this.

"no!"

After saying that, he felt the other person's stomach growling, and then he smiled and said, "Teacher Luo, let's go! Come out with me."

"It's really not necessary!"

Luo Jinping was polite.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Teacher Luo, you really have to listen to me this time. Otherwise, I won't come to see you next time. Just treat me as if you don't have a student."

It's such a mess here.

There’s nothing you can do if you didn’t see it. But since you’ve seen it, you naturally don’t need to care too much about it.

Seeing this, Lao Luo gave a bitter smile.

"you……"

Finally, I agreed reluctantly.

Yang Xiaole looked at Song Yuhong next to him and said with a smile: "Aunt, don't go to the garment factory tonight. I know someone here, so you don't have to worry about work."

Hearing him say this, Song Yuhong looked at Luo Jinping with some confusion.

Lao Luo thought about it after seeing this, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's go eat a bite first, and go later!"

I haven't seen him for so many years, and I owed him a favor back then, so it would be inappropriate not to go.

In the end, the few of them packed up and left.

The group walked along a long, narrow alley before finally leaving the wooden house area.

Yang Xiaole asked these people to wait here while he drove the car and left.

After a while, he came back driving.

Seeing this, several people hesitated.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Teacher, come up!"

Luo Zigui looked at his upper body and said anxiously, "My clothes are dirty! I damaged the car."

"Hey, it's okay! Come on up! Hurry up, don't waste time."

Seeing this, several people got into the car.

Yang Xiaole drove towards the villa.

He arrived near a teahouse, stopped the car, took a few people into the teahouse, and ordered some dishes.

I didn't go to any high-end places.

Worry scared a few people.

After telling a few people to sit down, he went to the phone desk in the teahouse and called Hua Yourong.

Hua Yourong was waiting at home.

At this time, I received a call and went to answer it.

"Xiao Le, where have you been?"

"Tiantian, I found the teacher. It's really him. I might be back late. Sorry, you guys eat first!"

Hua Yourong heard this and said, "Then invite them to come home and eat together! The meal is ready."

"Forget it, the situation sounds a bit special. I'll tell you when I get back so that uncle and auntie won't be angry!"

"Oh, that's ok, let's eat first and talk about it when we come back!"

"Oh, there's something. By the way, is there any house near the Polytechnic Institute? Not too big, preferably one that can be moved into directly. Get me one. I can use it!"

"For your teacher? Okay, I got it. I'll go make the arrangements!"

"Okay, that's it for now! I'll call you when it's almost done!"

Having said that, he hung up the phone.

Yang Xiaole hung up the phone and returned to his seat.

Looking at the somewhat awkward group of people, he urged the waiter to order the dishes, and then found a topic to ask, "Teacher, what are you doing in the northwest?"

Seeing Luo Jinping frowning, he smiled and said, "Teacher, I won't tell you secrets. I just want to ask you what you will do in the future. I will see if I can find a suitable job for you. Of course, if you still want to teach, you can go to school."

Now the company has cooperation with several schools.

Except for the University of Hong Kong which requires English as the medium of instruction, other schools do not have much of a problem.
