The Pentium Era - South to North

It's better than sad. The year 2008 has reached the end of the year and will be over soon. In this year, no matter it is the world, the country or themselves, so many things have happened, so that Zhang Chen feels that the year 2008 , it’s really too long.

The Christmas holiday in the United States lasts from December 22nd to January 5th of the next year. Taking advantage of this period, Xiaofang brought Zhang Xiangbei back. Zhang Xiangbei’s holiday was longer than Xiaofang’s. Put it to the end of January.

When they came back this time, Xiaofang specifically told Zhang Chen on the phone that he didn't have to go to Shanghai Pudong Airport to pick them up. She and Zhang Xiangbei had already decided that after they got off the plane at Pudong Airport, they would take the maglev train there. Longyang Road, then go to the South Railway Station, take the train back to Hangzhou, and just ask Zhang Chen to pick them up at the Hangcheng Railway Station.

On the day of the 24th, Zhang Chen only told his mother and Xiao Zhao’s mother that Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei were coming back today, but he didn’t tell them how they came back. Otherwise, even if Zhang Chen didn’t take them with him The two of them went to Chengzhan Railway Station, his mother and Xiaozhao's mother. They would definitely run to Chengzhan Railway Station early in the morning to wait.

Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei arrived in Hangzhou at 3:20 in the afternoon. At 2:50, Zhang Chen calculated that it was almost time, so he and Xiao Wu went to the Chengzhan Railway Station. They waited at the exit for more than ten minutes. , I saw Zhang Xiangbei carrying a backpack and pushing a medium-sized suitcase in his hand. Xiaofang came out with nothing but a backpack.

At first glance, despite talking on the phone every now and then, Xiaofang was still a little shy in front of Zhang Chen. After Zhang Xiangbei called him daddy, he stretched out his fist and bumped it with Xiaowu.

Zhang Xiangbei was already taller than Zhang Chen, almost 1.8 meters tall. Xiao Wu had an arm wrestling match with him and found that it was good, and his strength also increased with his height.

Zhang Chen looked at Xiaofang and smiled: "You two have traveled thousands of miles to come back from the United States. Isn't your outfit too simple?"

Xiaofang said: "If you take things too seriously, you will regard returning home as a big deal. If you are too tired on the road, you will not even have the desire to go out. We originally wanted to omit this suitcase. .”

The four of them walked to the parking lot and got in the car. Zhang Xiangbei and Zhang Chen said, Dad, I can already drive. Aunt Xiaofang taught me.

Zhang Chen was startled and said, "You are driving in New York without a license?"

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiaofang both laughed, and Xiaofang said:

"Brother-in-law, you think that in China, you have to go to a driving school to learn to drive. In the United States, you basically learn from relatives and friends. It is normal to learn to drive on the street. You can take the test after studying for a few hours. Beibei After November, he will be 16 years old, and we have already made an appointment at the DMV, the Vehicle Administration Bureau, to apply, and when he returns after Christmas, he can take the test."

Xiao Wu was also surprised. He asked: "You can take the exam after studying for a few hours. What is the exam?"

"Turn left, turn right, merge, park on the side of the road and back up." Xiaofang said, "One big mistake will kill you, but a small mistake can make fifteen. It's very simple. Beibei will definitely pass."

"Don't you need to take the test of reversing into the warehouse?" Zhang Chen asked.

“I’ve never heard of it,” Xiaofang said. “It’s just the things you actually use when driving. As for when you drive home, you can’t get into the garage, or you reverse and knock down your own house. That’s your business, the DMV doesn’t care.”

"What if I fail the exam?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Just make an appointment and apply once more. No matter how stupid you are, you can pass the test three times." Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Wu both laughed. Zhang Chen said, this American is too sloppy and careless. How good is this American driver's license?

"American cars are almost the same as our bicycles. How great is it to learn to ride a bicycle?" Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen nodded and said, that's true.

While they were talking, they arrived at "Splendid Home". Xiaofang asked, brother-in-law, haven't Brother Ganzi and Brother Meng Ping been found yet?

Zhang Chen shook his head and said no.

Xiaofang sighed.

Zhang Chen asked, why are you sighing?

“Every time I come back, I feel like there are fewer and fewer people eating together,” Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen was silent, knowing that she was talking about He Hongmei who left first, and now Zhanzi and Meng Ping were gone again. Aren't there fewer and fewer people? Even Zhang Chen himself often feels this way. Sometimes I feel that there are no people who can even get up in the middle of the night to drink Yelao wine. After all, it is inconvenient for Li Yong. Even if he drinks, he has more time to date Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen will not date him.

Xiao Wu drove the car into the gate of the community. From a distance, Zhang Chen and Xiao Fang saw Xiao Fang's mother standing in the parking lot waiting. When they saw their car coming in, they waved desperately. Xiao Wu drove to Xiao Fang's mother's door. Next to them, Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei had already pressed down the car windows, stretched out their heads, and one called mom and the other grandma.

Xiaofang's mother told them that they had been waiting here since one o'clock in the afternoon, and there was cooking in the kitchen, so she and Zhang Chen's mother could only take turns. While one was waiting here, the other was in the kitchen. Looking at the kitchen, I didn't expect that she was so lucky. She just came over to change Zhang Chen's mother. In less than ten minutes, you guys arrived.

Zhang Chen listened and thought, if he had known this, he might as well have told them what time they would arrive, or taken them to the train station to pick them up, so as to save them from standing in the cold wind. He still didn't understand their mood.

The group of people walked home, but before they reached the door, Xiao Zhao's mother shouted loudly. Zhang Chen's mother and two land reclamation warriors ran out quickly, and everyone started hugging and making out outside the door.

Xiaofang patted Zhang Xiangbei on the shoulder and said to him, "Let's go talk to your mother."

Zhang Xiangbei said yes.

They gave their suitcases and bags to Zhang Chen and Xiao Wu, and the two of them turned around and headed to Zhang Chen's house.

When the two of them saw Xiao Zhao come back, Zhang Xiangbei went to the work shed in the backyard and found his bicycle. While he was away, Lao Zhang moved his bicycle to the work shed and covered it with plastic sheeting.

Zhang Chen's mother saw him moving the bicycle out and asked suspiciously, Beibei, we just got home, where are you going?

Xiaofang smiled and said, follow him, he is going to pick up Xiangnan.

Zhang Xiangbei chuckled.

Zhang Chen's mother woke up, waved to him and said, go quickly, your sister is about to finish school.

Zhang Xiangbei left, and Lao Zhang sat there and kept laughing. Zhang Chen asked, what are you happy about?

Lao Zhang said, Xiaofang, what kind of fertilizer did you put on Beibei? Why did he become taller and stronger than me in half a year?

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Chen’s mother said that he was taller and stronger than his father.

After a while, Xiaoshu and Yao Fen arrived, and after a while, Tan Shuzhen arrived. As soon as Tan Shuzhen arrived, she clasped her hands and bowed to Xiaofang. Zhang Chen and Xiaofang knew that Tan Shuzhen was thanking her for pulling up the Jinxiu Group stock. There is also the matter of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders coming to the rescue.

Xiaofang was a little embarrassed. She said, Sister Shuzhen, didn’t my brother-in-law say that it’s all his own family’s business?

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said, I am worshiping the God of Wealth, and I am also worshiping you, a little rich woman.

Xiaofang, Xiaowu, Yao Fen and Zhang Chen laughed. Others had no idea what they were talking about, let alone that there were many stories in it.

The sound of two strings of bicycle bells "ding-ding-ding-ding" sounded outside the door, and they came back from south to north. Zhang Chen looked at them, already very affectionate, and knew that they had passed the rawness when they first met. and sorry.

When Xiaoshu saw Zhang Xiangbei, he put his hands on his hips and said unconvinced: "How can it be that I need to look up to you?"

Zhang Xiangbei shook his head and smiled proudly.

Then Lao Tan, Qu Tianlin and Han Emperor Liu Bang arrived, carrying cakes and milk tea made by Wang Minsheng. When Xiaofang saw them, she rushed over and said she missed me so much. Brother Minsheng's milk tea and cakes.

The last ones to arrive were Lin Shuwan and Old Tang.

There were so many people tonight that there was no room for one table, so a table was set up in the living room. In the work shed behind, two land reclamation warriors moved the fitter table and their skyscraper model aside, and set up a table in the vacant space.

Zhang Chen saw so many people arriving, and thinking about what Xiaofang said before, he felt a little relieved. It seemed that there were still a lot of people eating together.

Everyone who comes here is surprised that Xiangbei has grown so much after not seeing him for half a year.

Lao Zhang remembered, he called Xiaoshu and Zhang Xiangbei and said, come on, come over.

Two people followed him to the work shed at the back, and the others followed.

Lao Zhang found the measurements that he had measured for them during the summer vacation and painted them on the wall with the date and name written on them. He still followed the original method and asked the two of them to take off their shoes and stand there while he gestured with a triangle ruler.

As a result, Zhang Xiangbei grew 3.5 centimeters taller, and strangely the tree was 0.5 centimeters shorter, which puzzled everyone.

Old Tang said that it was due to thermal expansion and contraction.

Everyone laughed.

"Come on, come on, everyone, sit down, get ready for dinner." Zhang Chen's mother greeted everyone to sit down.

There was a table for men and a table for women. The food was served and the wine was filled. Lao Tan raised his glass and said, "Let's toast Xiaofang and Beibei first to celebrate their safe return."

Those who could drink drank it all in one gulp, and those who could not drink touched the wine with their lips.

For the second cup, Lao Tan raised it and asked, "How do you describe this cup?"

Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen said almost in unison: "I wish 2008 will pass as soon as possible."

After saying that, the two people looked at each other and laughed. The others also laughed. Old Tang said: "How much hatred does this 2008 have against you, and you don't want to see it so much?"

Lin Shuwan was under the table and kicked him.

Those who could drink drank it all in one gulp, and those who couldn't drank touched the wine with their lips.

For the third cup, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, raised his wine and said: "With this cup, I wish you all good luck and all the best in 2009. I also wish Xiangnan to be admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. From now on, we will go to the cinema to watch Heading south."

Xiang Nan quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu."

Old Tang shouted: "No problem, the emperor has spoken, and Xiangnan's wishes will definitely come true."

Everyone raised their glasses.
