The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang returned to where they lived. Zhang Chen took out the real estate certificate, handed it to Xiaofang, and told her that the house was next door to Tan Shuzhen.

With doubts in her eyes, Xiaofang took the real estate certificate, opened it, and saw her name on it. Xiaofang said, "Why do I want this house?"

Then she understood immediately, looked at Zhang Chen and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you want to drive me out of here?"

Zhang Chen quickly said: "No, no, Xiaofang, I didn't mean that. I was just thinking that Xiaoshu will get married soon and he will have his own home. I thought that I should also prepare a home for you."

"Okay, thank you brother-in-law, but before I have a home, I want to be with my sister, is that okay?" Xiaofang closed the real estate certificate, put it on the coffee table, and asked.

Zhang Chen said, of course.

Zhang Chen also understood what Xiaofang meant. She wanted to be with her sister, and Xiao Zhao couldn't leave here. In other words, she still had to insist on living here, and Zhang Chen didn't say no. reason.

Originally, Zhang Chen wanted to ask Xiaofang if he wanted to check out the house tomorrow. If there were any furniture or things that needed to be added, I would let someone arrange it. But seeing that Xiaofang was not enthusiastic about the house at all, he didn't. Say it again.

"How's it going at Target?" Xiaofang asked.

Zhang Chen said that new orders have returned to the original pattern, but there are still goods that have been shipped in the past month or two, and have not yet been due and have not been returned. However, Jessica has actually The billing period is shortening. The original agreement was three months, but now it takes more than two months, and the payment is returned.

Xiaofang nodded and said that it seemed that the Target incident could be resolved safely.

Zhang Chen is right.

"Brother-in-law, I have one more thing to discuss with you. This matter is more important." Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen nodded: "You can tell me anything."

"Brother-in-law, I will go back to the United States this time. Beibei will not be back this winter vacation and next year's summer vacation. Beibei is in eleventh grade now and will be in twelfth grade next year. In the second half of next year, he will start to decide which university to apply for. .

"Each university in the United States has different requirements. I want to use this Christmas vacation to take Beibei to several universities so that he can have goals and preparations in advance," Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen said okay, I don’t understand this anyway, just help Beibei make the decision.

"There are now three universities to consider, Yale, Harvard and MIT. Beibei himself prefers Harvard, but I think it is better to take him to visit the other two universities before giving him time to reconsider."

Zhang Chen was startled and asked: "These are such good universities. Is it possible for Zhang Xiangbei to get admitted?"

Xiaofang giggled: "Brother-in-law, when will you change your habit of looking down on Beibei?"

"No, I think Zhang Xiangbei is a bit idle. Every time he comes back, he doesn't read. He just plays and exercises with Xiao Wu. He doesn't look like a good student at all. How can he get into a good university?" Zhang Chen said with a smile. "Originally, I was still thinking that no matter what university, I could just study for a few more years and come back with a diploma."

"Beibei was just playing, but he also became famous. He organized a mixed martial arts club in school, which combines boxing, judo and martial arts. He is his own coach and has many members." Fang said.

"What's the use of this?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It's very useful. In the eyes of these universities, Beibei is a student with expertise, and they prefer to recruit such students." Xiaofang said, "There is no unified college entrance examination in the United States. For general universities, some require SAT scores. Some don't, but it will definitely look at your average grades over the four years of high school. Compared with those American classmates, Beibei has an advantage.

"But other universities also depend on your extracurricular skills and social skills. It turns out that this is the biggest disadvantage for Asian students. We are all relatively shy. Beibei organized his own club and also served as a coach. This is very important to them. , it’s a treasure, brother-in-law, do you know?”

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "I really don't know this."

"If Beibei wants to study at Yale, there will definitely be no problem. I am an outstanding alumnus, so my recommendation letter will play a big role. If he wants to study at other schools, he will have to rely on his own efforts, so I will I think Beibei won't be back even for next summer vacation, so it will be good for him to use the vacation to participate in more social activities."

Xiaofang said, Zhang Chen nodded, Xiaofang then sighed, she smiled:

"If we don't come back for such a long time, grandma and grandma will ask us to do some work, so I have to discuss it with my brother-in-law first."

Zhang Chen said, I have no problem here. With grandma and grandma, you will be the main attacker and I will be your flanker. You are in the United States and what you say is more convincing than me.

Xiaofang chuckled: "Are you scared? You want to use me as cannon fodder."

Zhang Chen also laughed and said, "A little bit."

"Okay, cannon fodder is cannon fodder. For Beibei, I will do it once." Xiaofang stood up, clapped her hands and said, "The matter has been discussed, I am going to take a shower."

Xiaofang said and went back to her room. Zhang Chen saw that the real estate certificate was still on the coffee table. Xiaofang seemed to have forgotten it.

Zhang Chen shook his head and put the real estate certificate on the lower shelf of the coffee table.

…

Every year during the National Day Golden Week, all the hotels in Hangzhou will be full. The two weddings of Xiaowu and Xiaoshu were initially held at the Tuxiangyuan Hotel on Yan'an Road. Zhang Chen planned to arrange for the guests from out of town to stay at the International Building. .

Tan Shuzhen said that the urban area will be too crowded by then, so there is no need for us to add to the traffic. The Tuxiangyuan Hotel on Yan'an Road is too small and not suitable for holding banquets, and it is inconvenient to go to the beach. It is better to stay there for a wedding banquet. If we want to live back in the city, we should do the same as Lao Wan’s wedding and hold it at our group’s Taohuayuan Hotel.

In this way, guests from out of town can be arranged to stay there, which is more convenient. Those who come from the city can drive there by themselves. For those who don't have a car, we will arrange a pick-up by minibus, which is also very convenient.

Zhang Chen, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Shu all agreed to Tan Shuzhen's arrangement.

Both weddings were organized by Lao Yang. He said he was too busy, too busy, and had more things to do than leading a group to perform, but he was very happy in his heart.

On October 2nd, Xiao Wu and Xu Qiaoxin's wedding was attended by many people, including not only their colleagues from their own units, but also the factories under Xu Qiaoxin's foreign trade company, including Shentu Hongyan.

From Xu Qiaoxin's hometown, two tables of guests came, including relatives of Xu Qiaoxin's family, as well as Teacher Wang and Teacher Xu's close colleagues from school. From the lineup of guests, it can be seen that Teacher Wang and Teacher Xu are very fond of the children. Wu He was so satisfied with this wedding.

From Xiaowu's side, more people come. It only takes an hour to get from Yongcheng to Hangcheng on the expressway. People in Yongcheng are used to getting off the expressway at Zhuantang in the west of Hangcheng. They don't feel it until they drive to Liuhe Pagoda and Qiantang River Bridge. We have officially arrived in Hangzhou and are about to enter the city.

This time, they turned around from Zhuantang. They were still a kilometer or two away from the Liuhe Pagoda and the Qiantang River Bridge, and arrived at the entrance of Peach Blossom Spring. They didn’t even have to enter the city. It was a smooth road and not too convenient.

There were so many of them, so they didn't need to live in Hangzhou. They could just go back after the wedding banquet. Anyway, Zhang Chen and the others had arranged a bus to pick them up.

Those who came from Yongcheng that day were Xiaowu's father, younger brother, sister-in-law, the village director of their village, and a dozen close relatives.

Many of Xiao Wu's friends in Yongcheng didn't even receive invitations. When they heard that Xiao Wu was getting married, they drove over by themselves or came with their buses.

Zhang Chen saw that there were more than twenty people in the troupe, including Teacher Wu, Teacher Xu, Xu Jianmei, Xiangxiang, and Xiao Jian. The leader was Feng Laogui.

With such a lineup, Zhang Chen said with a smile, you can all perform live.

Zhang Chen saw Feng Laogui and Teacher Wu and asked them how the troupe is doing now. Feng Laogui told him that there will be an art festival in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, we will go to Sanya again this month. During the Spring Festival this year, Mr. Cao and I said, I hope we can stay there and continue to perform. We will spend the New Year's Eve at your hotel. With these performances, the team finally did not break up.

Teacher Wu said from the side, Zhang Chen, thank you and Zhenzhen for your annual sponsorship. The life of the troupe is much better now than before.

Only then did Zhang Chen find out that Tan Shuzhen also donated money to the theater troupe every year.

Zhang Chen turned to look at Tan Shuzhen, who smiled and said: "Why, I can only allow you to not forget your original intention, but I can't?"

Zhang Chen cupped his hands towards her.

Xiang Nan Xiang North came from Zhang Chen's Taohuayuan villa. When he saw Feng Laogui, Xiang Nan ran over, took Feng Laogui's arm, made a face at Tan Shuzhen, and then said, I will take dad to visit After visiting, he took Feng Laogui and walked away.

When Feng Laogui was away, Teacher Wu asked Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen if there was any news about the pole? I heard from Lao Yang that he was missing.

Zhang Chen said no. I don’t know where this guy is hiding. I have already looked for him wherever I can.

What Zhang Chen said was true. He not only called Chen Qihang to see if Liu Ligan and Meng Ping had hid in Macau, but it turned out that they hadn't. He also called Sun Hou in Tianjin, and Sun Hou also said no. Sun Hou said, I'm still surprised that when I call Zhanzi, the phone always fails to get through.

Zhang Chen called Lao Xie and asked him if he had seen them in Haicheng, but Lao Xie said no.

Lao Xie hung up the phone and remembered Zhang Chen. He also called back to his hometown in Liuyang and asked Lao Zhang. The last time Liu Ligan left Haicheng, he stayed with Lao Zhang for a few months. He didn't know what would happen this time. He would not go again, but Lao Zhang said, no, Liu Ligan didn't even call him.

Zhang Chen really couldn't think of where else they would go.

The three of them stood and continued chatting. From time to time, someone came over to say hello to Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen, and then walked away.

Zhang Chen saw a person shaking hands with Xiao Wu. This person seemed familiar. Zhang Chen couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He asked Tan Shuzhen. Tan Shuzhen smiled and said, Lao Tie, have you forgotten?

Only then did Zhang Chen remember that this man was Chang Tie, the former chief of the Yongcheng Police Station. He had met him when he and Tan Shuzhen went into the mountains to look for Xiao Wu. Later, he came forward to testify that Xiao Wu had surrendered. They met him again in court. Once, just in a flash, more than ten years have passed.

Tan Shuzhen and Zhang Chen said that Lao Tie had retired as deputy director of the Yongcheng City Public Security Bureau.

Zhang Chen nodded and walked over there.
