The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiaofang and the others came back. Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao went to the airport to pick them up. When the flight from Xining to Hangzhou arrived at Xiaoshan International Airport, they watched the four of them push their luggage and come out of the exit. For more than 20 days, they have been under pressure The stones in Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao's hearts finally fell to the ground.

The four of them all looked darker. Xiangnan and Xiangbei seemed to have grown a lot taller. When Xiaoshu left, he was still a childish middle school student. When he came back, he already looked like a little adult.

When Xiao Zhao went to hug him and kiss him, Xiao Shu subconsciously broke away. Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Fang who was standing aside, smiling reservedly, and then he realized that his younger brother and sister were really already dead. When I grow up, those two are no longer crowded with their children on the left and right as soon as they see me.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhao felt a little relieved, but also a little empty.

After returning home and watching them unpack their luggage and take out the things inside one by one, Xiao Zhao's feeling became stronger. One of the signs of growing up is that there is someone else in your heart, no longer It is self-centered, so for those who are still self-centered in their decades, everyone will think that they are immature and will not grow up.

Xiao Zhao looked at Xiao Fang and Xiao Shu and took out the items from the bag. There were very few things that belonged to them. They were all intended to be brought back to give to others. Some were given to Zhang Chen's parents and to his father. Damn, there are some for Tan Shuzhen and Liu Ligan, and some for Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao looked at them with a smile. She watched Xiao Fang take out items one by one, and Xiao Shu placed them all on the sofa. Soon the sofa was filled. Xiao Fang took one item and shared it with Xiao Shu. Zhao said, this is for Brother Lao Tan, this is for Brother Liu, the Emperor, this is for Old Tang, sister, look at this wool blanket, it is hand-woven, this is for Sister Shuwan, okay? nice?

Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly and said it looked good.

"This is for Sister Hongmei, I want to keep it for her." Xiaofang said holding a pillow with a tiger head.

They thought of almost everyone they knew, including Qu Tianlin, Xiao An, Wang Minsheng, Wei Wenfang, Wu Zhaohui, the couple, their children, and of course Yao Fen and Zhao Xin, as well as Zhao Jingjing, Ge Ling, Sister Guihua, etc. He and Xu Qiaoxin all thought about how hard it was for them to carry so many things. Xiao Zhao looked at it, feeling really distressed and fond of it, and she almost cried.

This scene is just like every time he went home before, but now, it is his younger brother and sister who do this. Xiao Zhao is very happy, happy that they have others in their hearts, and only those who have others in their hearts will be grateful.

Even Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei thought of giving gifts to their grandparents and grandparents, especially Zhang Xiangbei, who actually thought of buying two ceramic whistles. He said that his grandfather and grandpa were in that ravine, and Without signal, the phone cannot be made. With this whistle, if one person wants to call another person, he can blow the whistle.

"Grandpa, grandpa, let me tell you, the sound of this whistle is very loud. It is used by sheep herders. In that ravine, it can be heard very far." Zhang Xiangbei said.

The two land reclamation warriors were so happy that they both lowered their heads and asked Zhang Xiangbei to hang the whistles around their necks.

Xiangnan bought them two pairs of leather shoulder pads, saying that their shoulders would not hurt when picking things like this. The two pioneer warriors quickly accepted them.

Tan Shuzhen lay down next to Xiao Zhao's ear and told her, I couldn't stand it anymore and I was about to cry.

Xiao Zhao nodded "Yeah" and said, so did I.

Yes, what else is more satisfying than a mother watching her child grow up and become more and more sensible?

Zhang Chen's mother and Xiao Zhao's mother immediately got busy. Zhang's mother told Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao that they would all come back for dinner in the evening, and asked Ganzi and Master Tan to come too.

Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly, saying, of course, that the most important thing today is that Xiaofang and Xiaoshu have returned from south to north, and other things can be put aside.

…

In September, all schools started school. Xiaofang and Xiaoshu, Xiangnan and Xiangbei all went to school. After the school started, Xiaofang was already a senior, Xiangnan was in sixth grade, and Zhang Xiangbei was in fifth grade. grade.

Xiao Zhao drove Xiao Fang to register. When Xiao Fang’s teacher saw Xiao Zhao coming, he came over and told Xiao Zhao that Xiao Fang would graduate in one year. If possible, he would learn basic subjects like us. Yes, it is best to go abroad for further study. Based on Xiaofang's grades and abilities, she can definitely go to a first-class foreign university and come back with a doctorate.

Xiao Zhao came back to discuss with Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen said, of course, Xiaofang is a good reader, so she should be allowed to continue reading, reading all the books until there is no more to read.

Xiao Zhao laughed and asked, "What do you read when you don't have anything to read?"

Zhang Chen didn’t understand very well. He said that she was probably a postdoctoral fellow. Anyway, he asked her to choose the best school and continue studying. Anyway, we could afford it anyway.

Xiao Zhao nodded and said, okay.

Xiaofang’s teacher, who himself had studied at Princeton University, recommended Xiaofang to apply to Princeton University, as well as to Massachusetts and Yale.

Baochuta Experimental School, where Xiangnan and Xiangbei study, is a primary school connected to a junior high school. Xiangnan does not have the pressure of being promoted from junior high school to junior high school. Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao have no worries. There are still many years before the high school entrance examination, and they are not them at all yet. When you are worried.

By September, Tuxiangyuan Hotel was ready and waiting to open.

Zhang Chen set the opening date for September 15th. On the opening day, they would hold a very brief opening event by themselves, without inviting any important people to cut the ribbon. Huijuan and the executive committee of the development zone management committee would The deputy director, as well as the secretary and director of Zhige Village, clicked a few scissors, and then everyone started eating and drinking.

There will be more people coming that day. The development zone management committee and several nearby village secretaries and directors will be present. Zhang Chen knows that it is not convenient for Li Yong to show up, so he is not prepared to call him.

But on the 14th, Meng Ping came over from Nanjing, so they called Li Yong to have dinner at the Tuxiangyuan Hotel on the night of the 14th, one day in advance.

On this day, which happened to be Saturday, they opened two private rooms. This was also Huijuan's request. She said it was called food tasting. It will open tomorrow. Today, the kitchen and chef will have to try it, and so will the waiters.

Tuxiangyuan Hotel also has a large box for eighteen people. On this day, Zhang Chen and the others were in the large box, and there was also a small box, so Zhao Zhigang, Zhao Zhilong, Xu Qiaoxin, Ge Ling, Zhao Xin, Xiaojuan, Zhao Jingjing and Hagen and others, and the heads of each unit in the company also came to try the food, which also gave them and Huijuan a chance to get to know each other. We will have a long time to interact with each other in the future.

Zhang Chen drove to Xinxin Hotel to pick up Li Yong. When he arrived at the private room and saw so many people, Li Yong walked to the door and was stunned for a moment. But after walking in, he found that half of them knew each other and he was no longer so reserved.

Needless to say, Lao Tan, Erhuo, Wu Zhaohui and Wei Wenfang were old acquaintances in Haicheng. He Hongmei, Qu Tianlin and Xiao An also knew each other from Zhang Chen and his friends when they opened the Ban Mu Tian store on Yan'an Road last time.

To his surprise, he actually saw Lin Shuwan here. When Lin Shuwan's LinkedIn Foreign Language School opened, it was Li Yong who went to cut the ribbon. However, he was not invited by Zhang Chen, but by the director of the Municipal Education Commission. He went there and was told that this is currently the largest language training institution in Hangzhou, and it is also a pilot school run by social forces supported by their Education Committee.

So Li Yong went.

That is to say, they knew that Li Yong would go, so when the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Lin Shuwan School, neither Zhang Chen nor Liu Ligan nor Tan Shuzhen attended, but only sent flower baskets. However, there were dozens of flower baskets that day, so how could Li Yong pay attention.

The reason why Zhang Chen and the others did not attend was because of what Li Yong said: "Melon fields and plum blossoms."

Only when he got here did Li Yong find out that Lin Shuwan and Zhang Chen not only knew each other, but also that Lin Shuwan called Zhang Chen and brother.

Li Yong felt a little grateful to Zhang Chen in his heart, but also felt a little uncomfortable. Zhang Chen had never told him about this matter, let alone approached him. It could be said that he was avoiding suspicion, but it also made Li Yong feel that there was a rift between them. , there is an invisible wall in the middle.

"How come I've never heard of you talking about Miss Lin's school?" Li Yong asked Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen said: "When we were running the school, I didn't even have any involvement. It was Tan Shuzhen and the others who were helping."

Li Yong smiled, a bit bitter in his smile, and reached out to pat Zhang Chen on the back to express his gratitude and understanding.

"Isn't it also in line with the policy guidance? Everything is going smoothly. If there is any problem, Li Yong, don't think that I will let you go. I will definitely look for you."

Zhang Chen said, Li Yong forced a smile, and the two of them did not continue this topic.

Erhuo and Wu Chaohui were very happy to see Li Yong. They came over with wine glasses. Li Yong stood up. Erhuo said, "You are forced to raise me, Li Yong. I heard that you are here to be the deputy mayor. Come here." Come, let me flatter you. Li Yong laughed and said:

"You idiot, don't slap my butt so hard."

Wu Zhaohui said: "I want to take a shot too. Do you want the left side or the right side? Leave half for me."

"It's okay, this butt still has so much meat." The second guy said, and actually reached out and patted Li Yong's butt.

People around him felt that the idiot's actions were a bit excessive, but Li Yong felt his heart heat up, as if all the past days had returned.

"Come on, second-rate guy, Wu Zhaohui, let's have a drink." Li Yong raised the cup and diverted his attention, otherwise, he felt that his eyes might become red.

Each box in Tuxiangyuan has a set of karaoke equipment. After eating for more than an hour, the women went to the box next to them to sing karaoke. The men continued to stay in this box, but they all crowded into half of the table. Everyone also let go and kept drinking.

Huijuan came in to take a look. Based on the experience last time, this time, she had asked her father to prepare a lot of dishes for them. She knew that this meal of wine was still too early to end.

Although the air conditioning is on in the private room, the weather in Hangzhou in September is very hot. In addition, the spicy and hot pots are served one after another. Even if there is chilled red yeast wine, they can't stop it. It's a big meal for several people. Drenched with sweat, Erguo and Meng Ping were the first to take off their shirts, leaving them bare-chested. Then, other people took off their shirts one after another.

Wang Minsheng and Li Yong were the last to take off their clothes. After taking off their clothes, everyone felt indescribably good. Come on, let’s have another drink. Liu Ligan suggested, and everyone raised their glasses, clinked, and finished.

Faintly, Tan Shuzhen's singing voice came from next door. She was singing an old song, "The Spring Water in the Border is Clear and Pure."

"Singing is so good!" Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, listened attentively for a while and praised.
