Getting rich in chronology

Chen Yu didn't even ask the reason, and refused without hesitation: "Thank you and your family for your kindness, but there's no need."

He didn't come from the same way as the Shao family, and he didn't have any contact with him before. Apart from wearing a Shen kitten vest when he sold the hair ring, the only connection with the Shao family was that he was a classmate with Shao Lingyun.

But they are just classmates. In the past six months, Shao Lingyun has made several friends one after another, but this does not include Chen Yu.

Chen Yu didn't want to be involved in the turmoil of the protagonist group, and stayed away from watching movies and eating melons.

Shao Lingyun is not a fool, once or twice, he will always find out that Chen Yu rejects and dislikes him, as if he is a virus, how can this proud boy accept it.

So the relationship between the two is so weak that it is worse than ordinary classmates. Ordinary classmates would nod and smile when they met on the road. They would not give each other a look when they saw each other in the school corridor.

Under such circumstances, Chen Yu really couldn't understand why Shao Lingyun's father suddenly invited him to Shao's house as a guest.

He didn't want to go either, he didn't lack this meal, and he didn't ask for anything from the Shao family, so he followed his heart and refused directly.

What Chen Yu didn't expect was that Shao Lingyun wasn't angry this time because he was so merciless. He just took a deep look at him, mumbled for a moment, hesitated to speak, and finally turned back to himself without saying anything. seat.

A classmate with something good came over and asked, "Why is Shao Lingyun looking for you?"

As we all know, Chen Yu and Shao Lingyun are at odds, the kind where they don't even speak a word.

Chen Yu took out the exercise book, opened it, and smiled: "I don't know, or you can ask Shao Lingyun?"

classmate:"……"

Forget it, with Shao Lingyun's dog temper, go and ask him if he sent him to his door for scolding.

Seeing that Chen Yu had already started to work on the questions, the classmate was embarrassed to disturb him any more, and left tactfully.

After there were no more unrelated idlers around, Chen Yu chatted with Chen Meili enthusiastically: "It's strange, why did his father let me visit their house?"

Chen Meili was also in a daze, and said in a daze, "I don't know, why don't I go back and ask my dad?"

Chen Yu thought for a while: "Alright."

Shao Lingyun refused without asking why, because he didn't plan to go no matter what the reason was, so why bother to ask this question.

Whether Shao Lingyun knew or not, he was not necessarily willing to tell him if he knew, and he would still refuse if he told him.

Asking the tablemate to inquire is different. Chen Meili is on his side and must be thinking of him.

He also wanted to know why Director Shao suddenly made such a strange decision.

Sure enough, Chen Meili said to Chen Yu sincerely: "I don't like going to Shao's for dinner, although Auntie Feng's dishes are delicious."

When she went to Shao's house for dinner, she was very uncomfortable, not only the discomfort of going to other people's house to eat, but also a sense of cramping.

It wouldn't matter if someone bullied her, it's just awkward anyway.

For example, to serve everyone rice, Aunt Feng and Sister Shao use an ordinary small bowl, and she uses a large bowl like her father and Uncle Shao.

The rice was so filling that I kept asking her to eat more.

If she hadn't lost weight at the beginning, she could finish eating.

But after she consciously controlled her food intake and started to lose weight, her food intake became smaller. There was a big bowl full of rice and a lot of vegetables, and she couldn't hold on.

Her father put the rice in his bowl, and Aunt Feng said, just like at home, don't be embarrassed, she insists on serving her another meal.

She said she really couldn't eat it, so Sister Shao said, "Eat less and still gain weight. It's a good deal for you to gain weight."

Although Uncle Shao scolded Sister Shao later, she was still unhappy and didn't like eating at Shao's house. She didn't dare to pick up the dishes she liked, and she had to bite the bullet and eat the dishes that others didn't like for her.

She will not be like this when she goes to Chen Yu's house for dinner, just tell Chen Yu what she wants to eat and what she doesn't want to eat, and Chen Yu won't care about it, let alone say anything bad because of it.

She felt that eating at Shao's house was an unpleasant experience, so she didn't want her friends to experience it too.

"Have you been bullied?" Chen Yu knew something was wrong as soon as she heard her voice.

Chen Meili shook her head: "I just can't get used to it, they are too enthusiastic, I'm afraid I won't be able to run away."

Also, Sister Shao's speech was not pleasant, but it was much better than the straightforward curse words she had heard before, and it was just one or two sentences, so she didn't take it to heart.

After hearing her finish, Chen Yu sneered.

Silly girl, she doesn't even know she's being bullied.

But he didn't intend to explain, there's no need, the deskmate thinks of others' good, although he feels awkward and unhappy, but this weak emotion won't last long, and he will still be happy afterwards.

So what if she explained?Let her know that others despise her and mock her, so she won't be happy again?

So it's really unnecessary, anyway, she doesn't like contacting those people herself.

"Don't pay attention to them, you are not fat at all now, it's just right, just keep exercising and don't overeat." Chen Yu said.

Although the girl's weight is a secret, Chen Meili did not hide it from Chen Yu, probably treating him as a sister (?).

After half a year of unremitting efforts, Chen Meili's weight was successfully reduced to more than 120 catties.

With her height of 1.6 meters [-], this weight can be called a standard weight.

With bright facial features and plump cheeks, tall and well-proportioned figure, bright and generous appearance, but gentle and soft personality.

It made her a paradoxically attractive, recognizable kind of pretty girl.

There are many people in the school who like her. The boys in this class think that Chen Yu and Chen Meili are a couple, and they don't have the cheek to be the mistress.

Some male students in other classes who didn't know the situation stuffed Chen Meili with a lot of letters, wanting to "make progress together" and "discuss and learn".

Some of the letters were brilliantly written, but Chen Meili didn't like any of them, and she didn't feel happy when she received them.

Chen Yu asked her, and she said: "These people like me who looks good now, but I can't be this good-looking forever, so their likes are superficial, without foundation, and may change at any time."

Chen Yu: "..."

He actually felt that what his deskmate said made sense, but he vaguely felt that there was something wrong.

But Chen Yu, who lacks experience in love, can't offer any good advice to her tablemate.

He thought that such a good girl at the same table would definitely meet better boys to pursue her in the future.

As a friend, it is enough for him to worry about her and provide his own advice when she needs it. He cannot rely on his status as a friend to dictate her emotional life, but should respect her own decision.

The matter passed like this, Shao Lingyun came to school the next day, as usual, there was no strange reaction, Chen Yu put the matter aside.

It was Chen Meili who asked him why Director Shao suddenly wanted to invite him to Shao's house. The little girl was annoyed and embarrassed: "It's all my dad. He told Uncle Shao about Uncle Zhang and the others. You gave me the job, it seems that Uncle Shao wants to see you because of this."

Chen Yu was startled, he didn't expect it to be because of this, but after thinking about it, he wasn't surprised.

Chen Zehai and Director Shao are comrades-in-arms, and the soldiers he recruited are also comrades-in-arms with Chen Zehai, and they might know Director Shao.

"Don't blame your dad, there's nothing to hide about this kind of thing." You can't hide it either.

"Then are you going to see Uncle Shao?" Chen Meili asked, it seemed that Uncle Shao invited him to his house because he had a good impression of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu shook his head: "No need, I'm not familiar with it, it's embarrassing to go."

Director Shao's invitation to him may be out of good intentions. If it was someone else, he might have a relationship with the Shao family by taking advantage of the opportunity.

Not to mention his relationship in the army, but his own position as the director of a large provincial factory also has thick legs.

But Chen Yu really can't get along with their family, he doesn't have much aspirations, if he opens a few shops and earns some money, his life will be beautiful, so why bother to get along with him.

What they didn't know was that the night before yesterday, after Shao Lingyun came home, he told Director Shao: "Shen Yu won't come."

"Why?" Director Shao was surprised.

Shao Lingyun felt depressed and said angrily, "I told you before that I don't know him well. If you invite him to your house as a guest, you can talk about it yourself. Why do you want me to speak?"

"How did you talk to your father?" Director Shao scolded him, frowned and said, "I don't know you well? During the Chinese New Year, when we met in a department store, didn't we say hello?"

Shao Lingyun sneered: "With the attitude of my mother and sister, she is not a fool, so she came here to make you feel disgusted?"

Before Mrs. Shao could speak, Shao Lingyun's sister, Shao Lingling, exploded first: "What do you mean by that? What do you mean by my attitude? Is there something wrong with my attitude?"

In fact, when her father and brother were talking just now, she didn't know who they were talking about, but this did not prevent her from hearing her brother's words connoted her.

Mrs. Shao was also unhappy and said, "Ling Yun, mom didn't do anything rude to your friend. How can you say that about mom? And Lingling, she is your sister, you are a boy, you must know how to care and love her." Do you understand, girl?"

Shao Lingyun kept silent with a cold face, his mother was not impolite, but he didn't think highly of Chen Yu either.

In the past, he didn't understand when he was young, but later he found out that the only friends around him were those who had good family background, good studies and excellent in all aspects, so he gradually realized that something was wrong.

When he makes friends, he really values ​​the ability of friends. Friends with strong abilities will make him value them, but there are also many ordinary friends who can play with his personality and appetite.

Later, those friends came and went less and less, he was puzzled, and he didn't know the reason, until later, a friend who was more thoughtful said to him before transferring to another school: "You just think I'm thinking too much, but I think your mother looks down on me. I don't think I'm worthy of being your friend."

Just play together, stay together if you can, break up if you can't, who wants to be humiliated by others.

Of course Shao Lingyun didn't believe it, but after all, seeds of doubt were planted in his heart.

Later, when the friend came to look for him at home, he deliberately observed her mother's attitude towards her friends, and found that she did not act particularly obviously, but some things she said were very wrong.

For example, if a friend from a good family background and a friend from an ordinary family background come to him together, her mother will not neglect any of them, and will entertain all his friends very well and thoughtfully, but she will talk about their parents and talk about ordinary people Things that students from the family background can't touch at all.

If the friends who come to him do not study well, her mother will not stop them from hanging out together, but she will tell him to go home early, practice the piano more after finishing homework, and to develop in an all-round way, good grades alone are not enough.

Anyway, with these words, there is no problem at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, there are problems everywhere.

But he can't say these words to anyone, and he can't use them to blame his mother, because these are all his speculations, he thinks his mother is bad, and his own thoughts are bad enough.

I also thought about whether he was thinking too much.

But he asked all his friends, those from ordinary families with poor academic performance almost didn't like his mother.

Some boys are so careless, they don’t understand, they don’t even know the reason, but they still don’t like his mother, they are very disgusted to go to his house, once or twice, they will never go again.

Shao Lingyun felt very sad. He hoped his mother wouldn't be like this, but he couldn't change it.

In the end, I can only try not to bring my friends home, and I will not be the same as before. He will say whatever his mother asks, and just say what she wants to hear.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Shao sighed and said helplessly, "You child."

Shao Lingling just remembered who they were discussing, and said unhappy: "It's your classmate who looks like a little girl, and his lame brother!"

"Lingling!" Director Shao gave her a stern look: "No wonder Lingyun said that you look down on people and attack others' flaws at will. Is that what your mother and I taught you?"

"I was already lame, so I didn't let anyone tell me..."

Shao Lingling is not afraid of her father at all. Her father looks fierce, but he is very kind to her. Her brother and brother have been beaten, but she is not, and her mother will help her.

But this time, it may be that Director Shao brought her into that sentence, and Mrs. Shao couldn't protect her daughter anymore, so she patted Shao Lingling's hand lightly, as if reprimanding her to comfort her: "Don't talk back to Dad, your dad is right. Yes. You are a girl, you should be elegant and generous, gossip, don't you look good?"

Shao Lingling curled her lips, but didn't say anything more.

Director Shao looked at the unhappy daughter, and then at the expressionless son, feeling depressed for a while.

"Forget it, I didn't think carefully, let's forget about it." He shook his hands and went out.

As soon as Director Shao left, Shao Lingyun immediately got up and left, went into his bedroom, and closed the door.

What Mrs. Shao wanted to say was shut outside the door. She paused, lowered her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

In the bedroom, Shao Lingyun was lying flat on the bed with his hands and feet spread out, staring blankly at the ceiling.

In fact, it was his own wish to invite Chen Yu, he really didn't want to go, no matter how much his father asked, he would not go.

Now his senses towards Chen Yu are complicated, Chen Yu looks like the person he likes, but Chen Yu is a boy, so it's just that he thinks too much.

Chen Yu's family background is very poor, it's the kind that his mother doesn't like and definitely doesn't want them to be friends.

But Chen Yu himself is very good, he studied hard to improve his grades, and even opened a shop after school, and he opened it so well, Shao Lingyun saw all this.

In the past, he felt that it was no big deal for Chen Yu to set up a stall or open a shop.

But the conversation between his father and Uncle Chen let him know that nothing is as simple as he thought.

A boy of the same age, good-looking, good at studying, good at basketball, and cheerful and generous.

Not only will he attract girls, but he will also attract boys. Ordinary people flock around him, but Shao Lingyun wants to be friends with him.

However, their encounter was not harmonious enough from the beginning, and some unnecessary conflicts occurred later, which led to the bad relationship between the two now.

Shao Lingyun also thought about reconciling with Chen Yu.

But he couldn't let go of his pride, he tried to contact Chen Yu in various ways, pretending to be reluctant when he was playing, and was called to him, but as soon as he went, Chen Yu withdrew.

He wiped his sweat and panted, saying that he was tired and went back to do exercises, and no one would force him to stay and continue playing.

When I ran into him in the corridor after class, Chen Yu kept his eyes on him, talking and laughing with other students as if he didn't exist.

During the spring outing, he brought a camera, and even the teacher wanted him to help take a photo, but Chen Yu hid far away, and couldn't find anyone for the group photo.

Once or twice, he made it clear that he had no reason to contact him, and Shao Lingyun was angry in his heart, so he naturally didn't want to stick his hot face to other people's cold ass.

But he was not reconciled in his heart, so he took the initiative to talk to Chen Yu at his father's request.

In fact, in his heart, he also hoped that Chen Yu would accept the invitation.

If they accept it, they will have more contacts, and Chen Yu will find out that those things before were all misunderstandings, maybe they will become friends...

Chen Yu didn't know anything about these things that happened in the Shao family, or even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He and Shao Lingyun are destined not to be friends. Shao Lingyun plays an important role in the plot of the original book, and with Zhou Siqi as a crazy suitor, Chen Yu doesn't think his friendship is worth risking himself.

Maybe it's a bit cold-blooded to say so, but this is Chen Yu's true thought. If he knew Shao Lingyun first, he would have a friendship first, and then discover Shao Lingyun's identity.

Then he wouldn't abandon his friends, but they weren't friends now.

The young man's petty thoughts did not have any impact on Chen Yu's life, he was busy with work.

When Zhao Yue came to the house before, Chen Yu didn't think about it for a while, but then he thought about it, he just came back from the capital, maybe there is someone he knows, and see if he can help buy wallpaper.

So he went to ask, to visit, of course not empty-handed.

There is an asthma patient at home, and other things cannot be sent casually, so Chen Yu brought a large bag of fruit.

Thinking that the child can't run or jump, it will probably be very boring at home, so I bought some children's books and picture albums as gifts.

It was a weekend, Zhao's family was all there, and they warmly welcomed Chen Yu in.

The house they live in now is much smaller than before, but it is very clean and cozy.

Zhao Changming was sitting on the round table in the middle of the room drawing, when he saw Chen Yu, he raised his eyes and called out "Brother" weakly.

Chen Yu greeted him with a smile: "Hi, Changshou is studying?"

Zhao Changming handed him the notebook, which turned out to be drawing.

There is no particularly good tool, just a pencil, but it can be seen that this child is talented, the lines are smooth, and there are not many traces of alteration, and the villain in the drawing can also distinguish the difference.

"The painting is really good. After a long life, I can become a great painter." Chen Yu encouraged with a smile.

The child pursed his lips and smiled shyly, but his eyes were innocent and full of light.

Chen Yu gave him the storybook and picture album, Zhao Changming happily took them after his parents agreed, and his voice was two points louder: "Thank you brother."

"No thanks." Chen Yu patted his head, the little boy had soft hair and smiled obediently at him.

Chen Yu felt a little sour, such a well-behaved child would end up like that in the original book.

Fortunately, his fate has changed now, with his family taking care of him, he should live a better life than in the original book.

"Xiaoyu, what do you want to come here today?" Grandma Zhao asked politely after she was ushered to sit down and served tea.

Chen Yu didn't make any detours, and directly stated his reason for coming.

After listening to Mrs. Zhao, she immediately looked at Zhao Yue: "Can you ask Ah Wu to help?"

"I think it's okay." Zhao Yue said, "I'll send a telegram to ask him to help me find out."

Ah Wu was a kind-hearted man they met in the capital, and later they met again in the hospital.

They were renting a house in the capital, and they were contacted by Ah Wu. After a long time, they became acquainted and became friends.

When they returned to Xingcheng, they left their home address for Ah Wu. Although they may not be able to meet each other in the future, they still get along as friends.

"Do you have that friend's phone number? Maybe you can make a call?" Chen Yu was not in a hurry, but if he sent a telegram, the Zhao family might not be willing to accept his money.

"There is but there is..."

"Then can I make a phone call?" Chen Yu said, "There is a public phone just outside the machinery factory, do you know that?"

Boss Zhang's public phone business is doing the right thing, and the business is booming. Every time Chen Yu goes to the old store, he can see people calling, and there are often people waiting in line.

With such a good business, there must be more than one hour of talk time every day, earning one or two cents per minute, and hundreds of dollars a month.

"I know, I know, many people in our factory have called." They thought that Chen Yu was in a hurry to ask for that wallpaper and couldn't wait for the telegram, so they agreed.

It happened to be fine today, leaving Mrs. Zhao at home to watch Zhao Changming, and Zhao Yue and Chen Yu went to make a phone call.

The phone call was also this kind of public phone. Zhao Yue said who to call, and someone there went to call someone.

When someone came, Zhao Yue told the situation here, and said happily on the other side that he would go to ask for help, made an appointment, and after saying hello, he would call back.

Boss Zhang didn't want to charge Chen Yu's phone bill either, but Chen Yu replied: "After that, if you come to eat Malatang, will I not charge you?"

Boss Zhang smiled and said, "Then I'd be happy."

Having said that, I still charged the phone bill, indicating that I still have to pay for eating Malatang in the future.

He is now making money in this public phone business, and his wife and daughter-in-law want to eat spicy hot pot, and they are willing to spend money on it.

It's rare for Chen Yu to make a phone call, it's really worth it, it's to take advantage of others, he doesn't do this kind of thing.

Maybe it's because good deeds are rewarded, Zhao Yue's friend Zheng Wu quickly replied that the capital city can indeed buy the kind of wallpaper that Chen Yu wants, and he can also buy it for him and send it over.

The problem now is that there are quite a lot of patterns on their wallpaper. Zheng Wu doesn't understand this, and he doesn't know what Chen Yu wants, so he can only describe it desperately on the phone:

"That big flower is beautiful!"

"big flower?"

"Yes, the big red flowers are very bright and beautiful."

Chen Yu: "...Is there anything else?"

"Yes, this rose color is also good, the flowers on it are delicate, and there are birds."

Chen Yu instantly remembered that when she went to the department store before, the new bed sheets that Aunt Yu bought were also rose red, with flowers and birds, and the word "囍".

Chen Yu: "...Is there any more?" Could it be that he can only find some paint?

"And blue."

Chen Yu became interested: "Blue? What kind of blue? Is there a pattern?"

"It's just... the blue color of the clothes."

Understood, dark blue.

Seems ok?

"There are patterns too, white and purple flowers."

Chen Yu: "...Are there any flowers?"
