Xu Hongdou was immediately shocked: "Ah, you found it? If you found it, why didn't you bring it back?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Do you think A Yuan dares to come back given the current situation in the village? Mr. Xie didn't bring him back. He must have made sure that he was not in any danger and wanted him to suffer outside. Only when he understands the difficulties of life will he be willing to go back to school."
Xu Hongdou looked puzzled: "Did Xie Zhiyao really find it and still want to train A Yuan? How can you be sure?"
Zhou Chen pointed at his eyes and said, "I can see it. After all, he is his biological brother. How could Mr. Xie not care about him? He didn't do anything, which means he is sure of it. If he really didn't find it, do you think he can still sit still? You are just too concerned."
"Is that true?"
"You'll find out soon. Xie Zhiyao can hold it in, but Grandma Xie definitely can't. It won't be long before Grandma Xie gets angry. When the time comes, President Xie will naturally tell you. You just wait and see."
Three days later, Xie Zhiyao finally brought Xie Zhiyuan back. During the days Xie Zhiyuan was away from home, he worked in a hot pot restaurant in the ancient city.
Although Xie Zhiyuan was brought back, the knot in his heart was obviously not untied. So in order to help his brother untie the knot, Xie Zhiyao came to the courtyard specially and wanted to hold a barbecue party in the courtyard. He asked Zhou Chen and others to help comfort Xie Zhiyuan and help Xie Zhiyuan untie the knot.
When they heard about this, everyone in the courtyard agreed without hesitation.
In the evening, Xie Zhiyao brought Xie Xiaochun and Xie Xiaoxia to the courtyard. A group of people got busy, set up a few tables, and started to make barbecue. Xu Hongdou, Nana and other girls cooked some dishes in the kitchen. Xie Zhiyao brought a few bottles of champagne...
A group of people gathered around a not very big round table. Except for Xie Xiaoxia and Xie Zhiyuan who were not very happy, everyone else was smiling.
Xie Zhiyao even shook the champagne and shouted, "A party should have a party atmosphere. Watch me."
With a "bang", the champagne sprayed out and everyone cheered loudly.
"Come, come, come, put all the wine glasses away, I want to pour the wine one by one."
Xie Zhiyao poured wine into all the wine glasses on the table, then sat down and raised his glass.
"Let's all have a drink first."
Everyone raised their glasses, and Xie Xiaochun suddenly said, "Wait, wait, wait, before we toast, let's say a few toasts, starting with me."
"I wish everyone here good health, peace and happiness, okay."
Nana followed closely: "May our friendship last forever."
Next came Da Mai: "I wish us happiness every day."
Master Ma: "There will always be a time to ride the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean."
Hu Youyu: "I wish we can all get rich."
Xie Xiaoxia: "I hope everyone can treat each other sincerely and without deception."
Xie Zhiyao: "May your wishes come true."
Zhou Chen said: "I wish we will have no regrets in every life."
"Hey, Zhou Chen, what do you mean by 'every lifetime'? It makes it sound like we can live several lifetimes, haha."
Hu Youyu's words made everyone laugh. Ma Qiushan came to the rescue and said, "I think what Zhou Chen said is very philosophical. Who says there is no next life? Maybe all of us can live several lives."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone just treated it as a joke and no one took it seriously.
Only Zhou Chen smiled without saying anything. His words were a blessing to everyone as well as to himself, because he knew that he could experience many worlds and live many lives.
Finally, it was Xu Hongdou's turn. She said, "I wish our motherland prosperity."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Xiaochun immediately started to cheer: "Oh, the best of the show, the best of the show, give him another drink as a reward."
Everyone clinked their glasses and shouted, "May our motherland prosper!"
"Dry!"

Chapter 1193: Their respective embarrassments, Hongdou's comfort
"cheers!"
The glasses clinked together and everyone drank the champagne in their glasses.
Hu Youyu raised his hand and said, "It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together. I recently wrote a song, 'Lonely Man'. Would you like me to sing it for you and ask Zhou Chen to give me some comments on it?"
Nana smiled and said, "I think singing for us is secondary, and letting Zhou Chen comment on it is the main thing."
Ma Qiushan attacked him even more rudely: "Xiao Hu, I'm telling you, you'd better stop singing. Your level is far inferior to Zhou Chen's. Zhou Chen's singing can make us all feel the same, but your singing just makes people feel uncomfortable."
"Master Ma, are the songs I wrote as bad as you say?" Hu Youyu asked depressedly.
Ma Qiushan said: "It's not bad, it's just not suitable for people of my age. Anyway, I can't understand the meaning of your song. It's bland and boring."
"That's because you don't know how to appreciate it. Never mind. You won't understand even if I tell you. It's like playing the lute to a cow."
After that, Hu Youyu said to Zhou Chen with a smile: "Zhou Chen, when you are free, let's have a discussion and you can give me some advice."
Zhou Chen said: "It's not about giving me advice, but we can learn from each other if we have time."
"No problem, no problem."
Hu Youyu was very happy. Although he claimed to be a musician, he was actually just an amateur and had never received any formal music training. In front of people who didn't know anything about it, he could still brag and pretend, but ever since Zhou Chen's last song came out, he no longer dared to brag in front of Zhou Chen.
That day, Zhou Chen's original song, singing skills, timbre, etc. were far superior to his. He still had some ability to distinguish, so he really wanted to get Zhou Chen's guidance.
This barbecue party was very lively. Everyone was drinking, laughing and chatting happily. They were having a great time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more heated, Xie Zhiyao felt that the opportunity had come, so he winked at the people in the courtyard.
Hu Youyu spoke first, "I remember when I was in high school, I wrote a love letter to a female classmate. As a result, she told the teacher and accused me of harassing her studies. The teacher was our head teacher, who was also our Chinese teacher. He read my love letter in front of all the students and said that I used too few words, had grammatical errors, and was too superficial in my attitude towards love."
Everyone laughed. Xie Xiaochun said, "Then I'm sure you'll be asked to find your parents."
Hu Youyu said: "I did look for it. My dad went, but he didn't take it seriously. Because I had been in trouble since I was a child, he reminded me that if I want to write a love letter in the future, I must be confident and sure. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed."
Ma Qiushan said with a smile: "The old man must have experience."
"Hahaha……"
Ma Qiushan took over Hu Youyu's words and continued, "Speaking of embarrassing things, let me tell you one. When I was in high school, I worked very hard for a while and did my homework every day. During one break, I stood up suddenly and my hemorrhoids burst."
Everyone couldn't hold back and laughed like crazy. Those who were eating even threw the food in their hands aside.
Ma Qiushan sighed, "Until now, I still can't forget the way my deskmate looked at me. She liked me at first, but what happened next? Sigh."
Nana followed suit and said, "You are not as ruthless as me. When I was in high school, I went to the toilet one time and my skirt was tucked into my pants. I walked all the way back to the classroom with my butt exposed."
Everyone was stunned, especially Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Xiaoxia, who both looked at Nana in disbelief.
Even a boy would feel ashamed to face others if something like this happened, let alone Nana is a pretty girl. Wouldn't it be a complete loss of face?
Da Mai was also very shocked and asked: "Didn't anyone tell you?"
Nana looked helpless: "They were just staring at me. I thought they were staring at me because they thought I was pretty. I was so happy."
Xie Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you transfer to another school later?"
Nana replied: “No.”
"Then no one laughed at you?"
"Of course I did. A lot of people went to the door of our class to see what was happening. I just pretended like nothing had happened. What else could I do?"
Xie Zhiyuan asked impatiently: "What happened next?"
"I didn't remember it after that. I slowly forgot it."
At this time, Xie Zhiyao concluded by saying, "Actually, this is the spotlight effect. You always feel that everyone is staring at you, but in fact, no one cares. No matter how sensational the event is, it will be forgotten in a few days."
Xu Hongdou agreed, "Yeah, so many things happen every day, how many can you remember?"
"Yes."
"That's the truth."
Hu Youyu patted Xie Zhiyuan on the shoulder with the attitude of a person who has experienced it, and sighed: "When you reach my age, you will understand that in this life, if there are only embarrassing things like this, then it would be too happy. I, your brother, fell in love with music in college and played in a band. After graduation, I didn't look for a job and just focused on running the band. As a result, my father was so angry that he had a stroke. Until now, I can't even walk properly on one leg."
"I regret it. I am too embarrassed to go back."
Ma Qiushan also raised his glass with a dejected expression and said, "Yes, there are still many people who watched him build a red building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse."
At this time, Xie Xiaochun also told Xie Zhiyuan about her college experience. She was admitted to college, but because her family was poor, she had no money to go to college, so she wanted to give up going to college and go to work. It was Xie Zhiyao who paid for her college education. As she spoke, tears came out.
It was precisely because of this incident that she chose to return to Yunmiao Village to help Xie Zhiyao without hesitation.
Xie Zhiyao felt embarrassed by his praise and quickly changed the subject.
Nana, on the other hand, admired Xie Zhiyao very much. She praised Xie Zhiyao in every word and even said that she wanted to set up a global fan club for Xie Zhiyao and clamored to be the president, while Xie Xiaochun clamored to be the vice president.
Zhou Chen was also infected by this atmosphere. He looked up at the sky and recalled many things in the past.
Xu Hongdou was laughing along with everyone, but when she turned around, she noticed that Zhou Chen next to her had an unusual expression, so she nudged Zhou Chen with her arm.
"What are you thinking about? So lost in thought?"
Hu Youyu laughed and said, "He must be thinking about his destined person."
"Destined one?"
Xu Hongdou looked confused and didn't understand what Hu Youyu meant.
Nana smiled and explained, "Hongdou, you came later and don't know about this. When we all had dinner together, I asked Zhou Chen a question."
Xu Hongdou asked with great interest: "What's the problem?"
"We asked him why he came here. Do you know how he answered? He said he was here to wait for someone, a destined person. He also said that he had a fortune-teller told him before he left, saying that he would meet his other half, the destined person, on this trip. We thought he was joking all along."
After Nana finished explaining, she asked Zhou Chen with interest: "Zhou Chen, you have been here for more than a month. Have you met the destined person?"
Zhou Chen replied: "I think he did."
"What?"
Nana just asked casually, but Zhou Chen's answer immediately stunned her. Not only her, but others also looked at Zhou Chen in surprise.
"Did you really encounter that?"
Zhou Chen smiled, his eyes swept across everyone, lingered on Xu Hongdou for a moment, and then moved away.
"I feel like I have encountered it, but things are unpredictable. It's hard to say whether I can get what I want in the end."
"Oh, really? Tell me who that person is? Is he from our hospital?" Xie Xiaochun asked curiously.
But Zhou Chen did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "In fact, I really envy you. You may have all kinds of troubles and setbacks, but you are better than me in one thing, that is, you still have relatives. I am different. I am alone in this world. I guess when I die one day, no one will remember me, and no one will shed tears for me."
"what?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed, and no one knew what to say.
Looking at their expressions, Zhou Chen said, "What are you looking at? I'm just expressing my feelings. You don't need to look at me like that. Although I don't have any relatives in this world, what I once had is only more than you."
"Ayuan, I agree with what Teacher Hu said. If the only embarrassing thing in life was pooping your pants, then you would be so happy."
Xie Zhiyuan was silent. After listening to the experiences of his brothers and sisters, he suddenly felt that what happened to him was nothing at all and that he was really too naive.
"Everyone has almost finished eating and drinking, Master Ma, take out your precious tea and let us drink some to moisten our throats."
Ma Qiushan said loudly: "No problem, I will get it now, you wait."
After drinking, everyone sat together to drink tea and eat food, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.
Seeing Xie Xiaoxia still sitting there in a bad mood, Zhou Chen persuaded her, "Xiaoxia, are you still upset about being deceived?"
Xie Xiaoxia scratched his head and hummed, "I just feel that I am really too stupid. I almost gave all my savings to the liar. I am really too stupid."
Xie Zhiyao said, "Xiao Xia, you think too much. You haven't been cheated. Besides, who hasn't been cheated in this world? It doesn't matter if you've been cheated. The important thing is to learn from the lesson and not be cheated again in the future."
"Yes, Xiaoxia, what's past is past, don't take it to heart." Nana also followed suit.
The others also spoke one after another. Before, they were comforting Xie Zhiyuan, and now they were comforting and persuading Xie Xiaoxia.
The ultimate purpose of today's barbecue party is actually for these two people, to help them get out of the haze and get back on the right track.
Xie Xiaoxia was touched by everyone's caring advice. He actually understood the truth, but the blow this time was really too great, and it took such a long time to get over it.
Zhou Chen said: "Xiao Xia, if you still want to go to Shanghai, I will try to find a job for you there, what do you think?"
After hearing Zhou Chen's words, everyone looked at him in surprise. They all knew that Zhou Chen was from Shanghai and was relatively wealthy. When he said he would find a job for Xie Xiaoxia, he was definitely not bragging, but had the ability to do so.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaoxia was somewhat tempted. Being cheated this time did not make him give up his longing for the outside world.
Xie Xiaochun and Xie Zhiyao were also looking at Xie Xiaoxia, waiting for his decision.
But Xie Xiaoxia thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Forget it, Brother Zhou, I know you want to help me, but I think I'm too stupid to go to a big city. It's better for me to continue learning wood carving from my master in the village."
