Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Jingjing, can you recognize who these two are?" Ran Xiaoyi pointed at Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao, wondering if Zhu Jing could recognize them.

Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao looked at Zhu Jing with a smile. They also wanted to know whether Zhu Jing could recognize their two old classmates.

The result was not unexpected to them, Zhu Jing did not recognize them.

Zhu Jing shook her head and said, "I can't recognize you. May I ask who you two are?"

"Student Zhu Jing, you don't even recognize your old classmates?"

"old classmate?"

"College classmate."

"I'm sorry, I really can't remember. It's been so long since we last met that I can't remember many of my college classmates."

Zhu Jing tried hard to recall, but unfortunately she still couldn't remember who the two old classmates in front of her were.

When we graduated from college, many of our classmates still kept in touch with each other at the beginning.

As time goes by, the contact is lost or there is no contact.

The people she still keeps in touch with are Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping, as well as her best friends Ran Xiaoyi, Ming Xiaofen, and Yao Yulan.

As for other old classmates, there are only some vague memories from those days.

Thirty years or so.

too long.

Time passes silently and ruthlessly, erasing certain things from time without you noticing.

"It's been too long since we last met. Thirty years have passed in a flash, and we have both grown from young men to old men and women." Wang Aiguo said, "Classmate Zhu Jing, let me introduce myself again. My name is Wang Aiguo, and I'm from Xinjiekou in the imperial capital."

Peng Tao smiled and said, "Hello, old classmate. My name is Peng Tao, and I am from Shicheng County, Sichuan, now Shicheng County, Yuzhou."

"Hello, old classmates. My name is Zhu Jing, and I come from Spring City in southern Yunnan." Zhu Jing smiled and said, "I remember Peng Tao. Do you have an uncle named Peng Jianguo?"

"Correct."

"Teacher Peng, why do you remember you and Old Peng but not us?"

"Maybe it's because my uncle and I were in the same class, and our classmates were more impressed by us."

"Yes."

There was a pair of uncle and nephew in the class, which was indeed impressive. Zhu Jing was able to remember Peng Jianguo and Peng Tao after so many years because they were uncle and nephew.

"Yulan and Xiaofen are almost here. Don't tell them yet. Let's see if they can recognize Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao."

“They certainly wouldn’t recognize it.”

Half an hour later, the flight carrying Yao Yulan, Ming Xiaofen and Zeng Wenjiang landed at the Imperial Capital Airport.

Yao Yulan and Ming Xiaofen live close to each other, one in Xiangchu Province and the other in Jiangyou Province, so they agreed to fly here together from Tanzhou City, Xiangchu Province.

"I wonder if Yiyi and Jingjing have arrived yet?"

"They should be here by now. They arrived more than an hour earlier than us."

"I'll call Yiyi." After getting off the plane, Yao Yulan took out her cell phone and called Ran Xiaoyi: "Yiyi and Jingjing are waiting for us at the exit."

Ming Xiaofen said: "Let's go, let's go to the exit and meet them."

Ten minutes later, Ming Xiaofen and her husband and Yao Yulan met Ran Xiaoyi and her husband and Zhu Jing at the airport exit.

"Xiao Fen, Magnolia."

"Yiyi, Jingjing, long time no see. I missed you so much. Hug."

"Xiao Fen, Yu Lan, I miss you too, how are you?"

"Very good, how about you?"

"Same, I feel healthy and everything I eat tastes delicious."

"Old Zheng, have a cigarette." Zeng Wenjiang took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Chengyun and others.

"No lighter." Zheng Chengyun put the cigarette in his mouth and touched his trouser pocket, then he remembered that his lighter was taken away when he went through security check on the plane.

"I have."

"I'll do it myself."

"You're welcome."

"Thank you."

"I've already told you to stay away from me."

Wang Aiguo took out a lighter and lit cigarettes for Zheng Chengyun and the other man.

"This is Old Zeng Zeng Wenjiang, Ming Xiaofen's lover." Zheng Chengyun said: "This is Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao, who are Ming teacher's college classmates."

Wang Aiguo said, "Hello, Lao Zeng. Thank you for your hard work. Just call me Lao Wang. This is Teacher Peng."

Zeng Wenjiang said, "Old Wang, Teacher Peng, hello."

Ran Xiaoyi, Zhu Jing, Ming Xiaofen, and Yao Yulan also finished reminiscing about the past.

Then Ran Xiaoyi said, "Xiao Fen, Yu Lan, can you recognize who they are?"

"I can't recognize them." Ming Xiaofen and Yao Yulan looked at the two people carefully and felt that they looked a little familiar.

Zhu Jing smiled and said, "I said Xiaofen and Yulan would definitely not recognize them."

Yao Yulan said, "Don't keep me in suspense. Who are these two?"

Zhu Jing said, "My old college classmate, do you remember me?"

"Really?" Yao Yulan asked in surprise.

"I have no impression at all." Ming Xiaofen has no impression of these two old classmates either.

"Students Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao." Yao Yulan directly revealed the identities of the two.

"I remember Peng Tao. He was our uncle and nephew in the same class, right?"

"I remember it too. My uncle's name is Peng Jianguo and my nephew's name is Peng Tao. They were both admitted to our school at the same time when the college entrance examination was resumed. They were both assigned to our class."

There was only one uncle and nephew in the class, and Ming Xiaofen and Yao Yulan had a deep impression of them. Wang Aiguo glanced at Peng Tao, and as he expected, Ming Xiaofen and Yao Yulan could also remember Peng Jianguo and Peng Tao.

This uncle and nephew are definitely the second most impressive students in their class.

The most impressive classmates are naturally Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping.

Not only are these two youngest students in their class, they are also childhood sweethearts who have been engaged since they were young.

"Ming Xiaofen, Yao Yulan, let me introduce myself to you again. I am your old classmate Wang Aiguo."

"I'm Peng Tao, and I'm also your classmate in college."

"Hello, Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao. I'm glad to have the opportunity to see you again."

"We are also very happy to see you again. Xiaokun and Jingping are waiting for you. Let's go back first."

"it is good."

"This way, the car is this way."

Yang Ping's classmates arrived earlier than Ming Xiaofen and her husband and Yao Yulan. Peng Yiheng and Chen He had already taken them back to Sijiu City.

After meeting Ming Xiaofen and her husband and Yao Yulan, Wang Aiguo and his party set out to return.

Yang Yukun just called and said that the banquet has already started.

There were quite a lot of guests, so we started setting the table at three o'clock in the afternoon.

If they go back now, they can just catch the last banquet.

The sisters wanted to talk in private, so Peng Tao gave the car keys to Yao Yulan. He and Wang Aiguo, Zheng Chengyun and Zeng Wenjiang were in the same car.

The traffic was jammed for more than half an hour, and we finally arrived at the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant at 5:30 in the afternoon, just as the last banquet was being served.

…………

"came back."

"Yiyi, Jingjing, Xiaofen, Yulan!"

"Jingping!"

"I missed you guys so much."

"Jingping, we miss you too. Our son is getting married. Congratulations, Jingping."

"Thank you. Thank you for coming all the way to attend Pingping's wedding."

"Where's Pingping?"

"He's accompanying his comrades and classmates."

"Have Little Zongzi and Little Corn come back?"

"Little Zongzi is back, but Little Yumi is too busy with work to come back."

"Old Zheng, Old Zeng, thank you for your hard work along the way." Xu Jingping reminisced with Ran Xiaoyi and the others, while Yang Yukun greeted Zheng Chengyun and Zeng Wenjiang.

Zheng Chengyun smiled and said, "Xiao Kun, congratulations."

Zeng Wenjiang said: "Congratulations, you and Jingping were worried that your children wouldn't be able to find a partner, now I have brought your daughter-in-law back to you."

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "Yes, now we have found them all."

"Little Zongzi and Little Yumi are also dating?"

"Yes, you guys have to come during the National Day. Little Zongzi is getting married during the National Day, and Little Yumi is expected to get married by the end of the year."

"Definitely coming."

Wang Aiguo glanced around and asked, "Where are Lao Ding, Lao He, and Lao Peng?"

"We went to Huafengyuan." Ding Baosong and his friends had already eaten and now went to the Huafengyuan community.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping haven't eaten yet, so they'll wait for Wang Aiguo and the others to come back and eat together.

There was also an empty table, which was reserved specifically for them.

"Let's go and have dinner." Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping invited Wang Aiguo and others to sit at the table and filled their glasses with wine.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the group went to Huafengyuan Community, where relatives and friends were chatting at the new house of their son and daughter-in-law in Huafengyuan Community.

"Lao Ding, Lao He, Lao Peng, you didn't even wait for us to eat together, you ate first."

"We were hungry, so we ate without waiting for you."

"Eating so early, aren't you afraid of being hungry later?"

"I'm hungry, let's have a midnight snack. Xiao Kun, do you care about midnight snacks?"

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "Of course I will. How can I not care about midnight snacks?"

Wang Aiguo said, "Let me introduce you to some old classmates. Do you still know them?"

Ding Baosong smiled and said, "Ran Xiaoyi, Zhu Jing, Ming Xiaofen, Yao Yulan, how can I not recognize them? Old classmates, long time no see."

"If you can tell me who is Ran Xiaoyi, Zhu Jing, Ming Xiaofen, and Yao Yulan, I'll treat you to a meal at any restaurant in the city for the next week."

"you win."

Ding Baosong and the others only knew that Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao were going to pick up Ran Xiaoyi, Zhu Jing, Ming Xiaofen, Yao Yulan and others. As for who they were, no one knew since they hadn't seen each other for more than 30 years.

"Brother, I thought you knew. This is Ran Xiaoyi, this is Zhu Jing, this is Ming Xiaofen, this is Yao Yulan, this is Ran's lover Zheng Chengyun, this is Ming's lover Zeng Wenjiang."

"Hello, old classmates."

"Classmate Ran Xiaoyi... Hello, it's been 32 years since we graduated from college. I didn't expect that we would have the chance to meet again."

"Thirty-two years, time has passed so quickly, we are all retired old men and women now."

"You are the ones who have retired. I haven't retired yet. I still have many years to go."

Peng Tao is about ten years younger than Ding Baosong and others. He was born in 1959. Even if he retires at the age of 60, he can still work for another five or six years.

"Have some fruit after dinner."

Yang Yukun went to get some fruits, peanuts and melon seeds, and the couple sat together with their old classmates to chat and reminisce about the good old days on campus. (End of this chapter)
