The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiao Zhao took Xiao Fang, Xiao Shu and their parents back to Hangzhou from Chongqing. After settling his parents, Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

The family also went to Xiao Zhao's parents' home for a meal. There was no need to start a family together, but Zhang Chen's mother said that the family must have a family after having a family relationship and be completely settled.

Even after having a meal, the two families usually stay together as one family and eat together.

In fact, the only people who eat together every day are Zhang Chen's mother and Xiao Zhao's mother, plus Xiao Fang and Xiang Nan Xiang Bei. These people have relatively fixed schedules.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao still ate in the company. They were two land reclamation warriors. They ate most of the time in the cafeteria of the Taohuayuan Hotel. Sometimes they even brought dry food and ate in the ravine behind. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao saw that their moods were getting better and better and their bodies were in good shape. They felt that this reclamation was really good for their physical and mental health, so they left them alone.

Anyway, in the canteen of Taohuayuan Hotel, they are now just like at home. Even if it is not a meal, the chef in the canteen will open a small stove for them so that they are not hungry.

This may not be the case for Xiaoshu in the future. Sometimes he will come back and sometimes eat at school or at the school gate. There is also a possibility that he will go to the Lakeside Oil Painting Museum to eat. It depends on whether he is painting at school or at the oil painting museum. When he first started painting, eating was a trivial matter, and his time was uncertain. Zhang Chen told his mother that he didn't have to worry about him in the future, as long as he had money in his pocket.

Zhao Xin gave Xiaoshu fingerprints to open the door and told the security guard that from now on, when Xiaoshu didn't want to paint in the school studio, he could go to the oil painting studio to create at any time, 24 hours a day.

On the day Xiao Zhao's parents' house opened, everyone in the family was present, including Lao Tan, Liu Ligan, and Tan Shuzhen. The table was full, like a big family. With so many people coming to eat, Zhang was the happiest person. Chen’s mother and Xiao Zhao’s mother, not only did they have fun cooking, the most important thing is that this was their opportunity to show off.

Every dish on the table, from chicken to prawns, large yellow croaker, swimming crab, to beef, pork and vegetables, is the result of their foray into various wholesale markets.

Not only did they go to the wholesale market and return from the wholesale market, they would also go to the nearby farmer's market, not to buy things, but to ask about the price. Every time they went there, they felt a huge sense of accomplishment.

For every dish, they even knew the difference between the wholesale price and the retail price at the farmer's market. During the meal, Zhang Chen's mother calculated all the treasures for them carefully.

Zhang Chen’s mother told Lao Tan that if you don’t buy groceries in the future, just take them from us. What we buy cheaply will be enough for you to eat.

Lao Tan quickly said, "Thank you, thank you. My refrigerator is empty and I don't even have electricity. I am alone. I usually eat either in the canteen on the construction site or in the canteen of my work unit. There is no meal."

Zhang Chen's mother was a little disappointed, and Lao Tan quickly said: "Sister, if I'm hungry, I'll come and eat your food after get off work. The stuff I bought from the wholesale market is not only cheap, but also fresh. This farmer's market What is sold may be the goods from the wholesale market the day before.”

"Hey, hey, what you said is true. We haven't thought of this yet. I wonder why these things are so delicious when made now."

Zhang Chen's mother became happy and shouted. Xiao Zhao's mother nodded repeatedly on the side, and Zhang Chen and the others laughed.

Zhang Chen's mother and Lao Tan said: "You must come at any time. Take out whatever you want from the refrigerator and it will be your snack. The refrigerator is full every day. I am wondering if we should Get a bigger refrigerator.”

Zhang Chen hurriedly said, stop it, stop it, the place is right in this refrigerator, just right. I bought it after measuring the size, but I changed it to a larger one and it couldn't fit there.

Zhang Chen's mother rolled her eyes at him and scolded: "I'm just saying, this refrigerator is good now, how can I be willing to replace it."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, forget I didn't say anything."

"The freezer in Taohuayuan canteen is big. If you can't fit it here, put it in my car and I'll take it there." Zhang Chen's father said, and everyone laughed.

Zhang Chen's mother was too lazy to pay attention to him. She then asked Tan Shuzhen and Liu Lizhen: "What about you, Zhanzi and Zhenzhen, you don't want to go to the farmer's market anymore, it's a waste."

Zhang Chen quickly winked at Tan Shuzhen and Liu Ligan, and Tan Shuzhen said: "Auntie, we don't work together. We usually spend most of our time entertaining guests. Occasionally we don't entertain guests, so we just eat in the cafeteria. I don't have time to prepare them."

Zhang Chen's mother clicked her tongue in disappointment and gave up, but Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Chen knew that if he opened his mouth, it would be over. His mother would run upstairs to the dynamic zone in a few days. Not only would she The refrigerators in Tan Shuzhen and Liu Ligan's rooms were filled, and even the refrigerator in Zhang Chen's office was filled with hairtail and pork.

This meal lasted until around nine o'clock in the evening. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao returned home, finished taking a bath, and lay on the bed. Xiao Zhao nestled in Zhang Chen's arms and said to him, look, this family in Chongqing People have become Hangzhou people now. My dear, tell me, are our whole family coming to join you?

Zhang Chen laughed. He said it didn’t count. When it came to defecting, it was your parents who came to defect to you. Hangzhou is also your home. On all our real estate certificates, except for those of my parents, your names are written on them. .

Xiao Zhao thought about it, she was right, dear, are you here to join me too?

"Yeah," Zhang Chen nodded, "Zhang Xiangbei and I came to seek refuge with you. We have no home and nowhere to go. You are pitiful and pitiful. Please take us in."

Xiao Zhao chuckled: "Okay, okay, I'll take you in. You two mangy dogs, one big and one small, can't be driven away."

"Okay, the big one is coming." Zhang Chen turned around and pressed on him. Xiao Zhao shouted: "Help, help!"

His mouth was immediately blocked by Zhang Chen's.

…

The family was settled, and while Xiao Zhao and the others were busy with matters at home and company, Xiao Fang, Xiao Shu, and the four people from Xiang Nan to North were together, and they had long been restless. They took the drawer from Zhang Chen’s studio Inside, I found an "Atlas of China", chatted around the computer, and quickly formulated a plan.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao went home in the evening. Xiaofang and Xiaoshu were waiting for them in the living room. The two looked at their serious faces and knew they had something to say to them, so they sat down on the sofa.

"Whatever you want to say, just say it." Xiao Zhao said to his younger siblings.

Xiaofang and Zhang Chen Xiaozhao said that we have already made plans. We want to take advantage of the summer vacation to take Xiang Nan and North to travel. We plan to go to Xi'an first to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, then to Dunhuang to see the desert, and then to Qinghai and Inner Mongolia to see the grasslands. Don’t worry, I will bring my summer homework and violin with me to the south and north, and Xiaoshu will bring his oil painting box.

When this circle comes back, school will start. We guarantee that the summer vacation homework from south to north has been completed, and the violin will definitely make progress.

Zhang Chen agreed as soon as he heard it, but Xiao Zhao hesitated, but couldn't stand the pleading of Xiaofang and Xiaoshu, and Zhang Chen was making noises from the side. He said that Xiaofang was already a senior, and Xiaoshu was also They are going to college soon. They should go out more and gain experience. People will mature only after they have experienced more. Traveling is the best way to gain experience.

Xiao Zhao had no choice but to agree in the end.

Xiao Zhao took four people and bought four mobile phones so that they could communicate with each other outside. He also gave Xiaofang and Xiaoshu laptops and applied for wireless network cards. In this way, when they went to other places, they could use wireless network cards. Although I tried it at the telecommunications office, the Internet speed was really slow and not easy to connect to, but it was better than nothing.

Xiao Zhao told them that when they are outside, they can call if anything happens, and when they get to a certain place, they can send a message on MSN. Do you understand?

After telling them about making phone calls and surfing the Internet, they then told them to go south and north. When they get outside, they must follow their uncle and aunt. Don't run around. They also told the four of them not to go to deep water. It's dangerous in the desert. Don’t go to any place, don’t strike up random conversations with strangers, be sure to stay in the best local hotel, and don’t be afraid of spending money. Only good hotels will be safe.

Over and over again, Xiaoshu was getting a little annoyed. Zhang Chen also said, "It's okay, it's okay. Xiaofang and Xiaoshu are already adults, and Xiangnan and Xiangbei are so big. If anything happens, we are here." There are agents all over the place. If anything happens, they can help.

"That's right." Zhang Chen said this casually, reminding Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao wrote the phone numbers and names of their agents in these places to Xiao Fang, and told her that if she needs any help, just call these numbers. .

When she arrived at the company the next day, she called these agents again and greeted them all in advance.

After doing all this, Xiao Zhao felt a little relieved. He walked to Zhang Chen and told him, okay, everything has been arranged.

Zhang Chen looked at her and kept laughing. Xiao Zhao was puzzled and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Zhang Chen said: "When I went to Hainan, when you went to Hainan, we were much older than Xiaofang and the others. Isn't that just how we went? Now, they are just traveling, and there are four of them. What do you have to worry about? of?"

"You don't understand." Xiao Zhao said, "When I came in the morning, Sister Shuzhen also talked to me for a long time."

Zhang Chen laughed and said, OK, I really don’t understand what’s going on with you women.

"It's not a woman, it's a mother." Xiao Zhao corrected.

Zhang Chen, Xiao Zhao, and Tan Shuzhen drove two cars to the train station to see Xiao Fang and the four of them off. Xiao Zhao originally wanted them to fly to Xi'an, but the four of them said they didn't take the flight. When taking a train, especially a long-distance train, they insist on taking the train. There is no other way, so Tan Shuzhen can only buy them four soft sleepers, which are exactly one box.

On the way, Tan Shuzhen repeatedly told her that she must close the car windows and lock the compartment door when sleeping at night.

After seeing them off, they returned to Zhang Chen's office. The three of them sat down. Tan Shuzhen looked at them with panic on her face. She said, although I don't see Xiang Nan every day in Hangzhou, they really Why do I feel so empty now that I'm gone?

Xiao Zhao looked at Tan Shuzhen and said with a grimace: "Sister Shuzhen, I am the same. It seems that since yesterday, I have no intention to do anything. What should I do?"

Tan Shuzhen looked at her watch and said, either call them and ask them to get off at Changxing, and we can go to Changxing to pick them up?

"Okay, okay." Xiao Zhao shouted.

When Zhang Chen heard this, he scolded: "You two, are you out of your mind? Do you still think that your child will never leave you for the rest of his life? You, Tan Shuzhen, have been performing on stages in various places since you were eight years old. Aren't you doing well now? Are you? Do you want them to remain babies for the rest of their lives? Children will grow up, and they have their own places they want to go, so don’t worry about it.”

Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao flattened their mouths, looked at each other, and fell silent.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "If I keep blabbering, I'll let the two mothers worry about you too, and fill your Tan Shuzhen's refrigerator with hairtail fish."

Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao both stared at him, and then they couldn't help but burst out laughing. They thought of Zhang Chen's mother and Xiao Zhao's mother, if they arrived here carrying wholesale hairtail fish, that scene would be like, Don't be too spectacular.
