The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiang Nan and the others finished their tour in Taipei today and returned to Hangzhou. Tan Shuzhen called Zhang Chen and told him, Nan Nan is back today and I will treat you to dinner tonight.

Zhang Chen said: "You don't need to invite me. I have already made an agreement with Xiang Nan. I will treat all the people in the troupe to dinner in the evening, pick them up, and then send them back to Yongcheng after eating. By the way, Lao Yang and Xiao Wu will also come." , I was just about to call you."

After Tan Shuzhen listened, she hung up the phone without saying a word.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone from the troupe was picked up. They went to Zhang Chen's office and chatted for a while. Xiang Nan, Ding Yousong, and Yin Tao talked about their trip to the United States. , Japan and Taiwan tour situation, reported to Zhang Chen.

Then, they will start discussing the next Yongcheng Street Theater Festival.

Seeing that they were going to talk about work, the other people asked about the private room for dinner in the evening, and all went downstairs to play, leaving only the two group leaders, Xiang Nan and Ding Yousong, here.

When it was almost five o'clock, Lao Yang came, and then Xiao Wu arrived. The five of them sat and chatted, and Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Fang walked in from outside.

It's not surprising that Tan Shuzhen came to Zhang Chen. She had called him before. He told her that she would have dinner with the theater troupe in the evening as a way to catch up with them. Xiaofang would appear with Tan Shuzhen at this time, which surprised Zhang Chen. .

Seeing Xiaofang, Xiangnan quickly called Aunt Xiaofang, walked over and hugged her, but left Tan Shuzhen aside. Tan Shuzhen was used to it anyway.

Xiaofang asked Xiangnan: "Why, Beibei didn't pick you up at the airport?"

"Of course we went." Ding Yousong shouted, "Zhang Xiangbei turned away to Xiangnan before we could even react."

"Go!" Xiang Nan cursed, his face blushing slightly.

After Tan Shuzhen and Xiaofang sat down, Xiang Nan came to Tan Shuzhen's side and leaned against her. Tan Shuzhen naturally held her hand, but the two of them still didn't say a word.

With Lao Yang having such a big mouth, he must be the one who talks incessantly, and everyone else can only listen. Lao Yang has already praised Xiang Nan's tour this time, saying that there is a lot of news on the Internet , our Wu Opera troupe has really gone abroad this time, it’s amazing, haha, it’s our Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe, the people from Zhejiang and Wu Opera are getting jealous again.

Tan Shuzhen and Xiaofang came, and Lao Yang said similar words to them again and again, and at the end he didn't forget to add, Zhenzhen, you feel inferior, right?

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said, "I've long been inferior."

As she said this, she looked at Xiang Nan, who coquettishly crawled into her arms.

Everyone chatted until half past five. It was almost time. We stood up and went down together. We walked into the lobby of Tuxiangyuan Hotel below. Xiaofang held Xiang Nan with one hand and Zhang Chen with the other hand, refusing to let them go. They walked further.

Tan Shuzhen accompanied Lao Yang, Xiao Wu, and Ding Yousong to continue walking forward. Tan Shuzhen said something to them. The three of them laughed, turned around, looked at them, and continued walking forward. Tan Shuzhen turned around and walked back.

Zhang Chen was confused and asked Tan Shuzhen: "What did you and Lao Yang say?"

"I didn't say anything. I asked Lao Yang to take care of me." Tan Shuzhen said.

"Take care of me, what do you mean?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just taking care of them. If you're not here, I'm not here, and neither is Nannan. I'll let Lao Yang, the former regiment leader, take care of them, eat and drink well." Tan Shuzhen said with a smile.

Zhang Chen was even more surprised and wanted to ask again. Xiaofang smiled and said: "Oh, why are you so talkative? Sister Zhenzhen just wants to treat you to a meal. Besides, it can also satisfy your vanity."

"What the hell?" Zhang Chen asked, and Tan Shuzhen laughed.

They walked in the opposite direction to the box area on the other side of the hall, to the Frankfurt box. Zhang Chen's box at the Tuxiangyuan Hotel was named after the West Lake Scenic Area on one side, and the other side was named after a foreign city, Frankfurt. It's a large box with seating for eighteen people.

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment when he opened the door of the box. He saw sitting in the box were Lao Tan and Mrs. Tan, his mother and Xiaofang's mother, two reclamation warriors, Xiaoshu, Yao Fen, Kan Xiangdong and Zhang Xiangxi and Zhang Xiangbei have also arrived here, answering questions one after another from Lao Tan and Mrs. Tan.

There were all family members in the private room. Zhang Chen immediately understood what Tan Shuzhen meant by inviting him to this meal. Xiang Nan also understood, and her face suddenly turned red. She saw Zhang Xiangbei looking at her with a smirk on his face.

When Mrs. Tan saw Xiang Nan coming in, she quickly waved to Xiang Nan and asked him to come over and sit in the seat between her and Zhang Chen's mother.

Zhang Chen turned to look at Tan Shuzhen. Tan Shuzhen smiled and said softly: "Don't look at me, it's not me. If you are anxious, there is someone who is more anxious than you."

Xiaofang chuckled, and Zhang Chen immediately understood that the person Tan Shuzhen was talking about must be Lao Tan and his wife and two old ladies from his own family. They had been plotting for more than a week since Zhang Xiangbei came back.

Zhang Chen also understood what Xiaofang said before, "please satisfy your self-esteem". Tan Shuzhen is the girl's parent. Now the girl's parents are inviting us to discuss the matter of the two children. Aren't you still proud?

Everyone went over and sat down. The window paper was already torn if not poked, so there was no need to talk about it anymore.

Immediately entered the stage of mutual praise between the two old ladies. Mrs. Tan was talking about how good Zhang Xiangbei was and how she liked it. Zhang Chen’s mother was talking about how good Xiangnan was and how she liked it. Xiaofang’s mother was next to her. Keep helping.

They were all children they had seen since childhood, so what else could they say? On the contrary, the two land reclamation warriors, Lao Tan, and three men sat there and said nothing, but looked at Xiang Nan and Xiang Nan with joyful faces. Zhang Xiangbei clinked glasses with each other.

Xiaoshu and Zhang Xiangbei were sitting together. Xiaoshu kept touching Zhang Xiangbei with his shoulders and teasing him. This uncle and Zhang Xiangbei had been more like brothers since they were young. They were used to teasing each other. Zhang Xiangbei would also tease him from time to time. Touch back with your shoulder.

There were only two people, Kan Xiangdong and Zhang Xiangxi, sitting there a little confused. They listened to several old people praising Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan. The two looked at each other, their mouths tightened, and their cheeks bulged. Finally, Zhang Xiangxi " He cried loudly, and then Kan Xiangdong also said "Wow" and started crying.

A group of people in the box were sitting there, confused by the sudden crying of the two children. They didn't know why.

Xiaofang was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, and said with a smile: "Oh, grandma and grandma only praised my brothers and sisters. They didn't praise Xixi and Dongdong. You are also very good. You must also praise. Grandma and grandma are not here to be punished. Come here for praise, it’s your turn to praise you soon.”

The others laughed, and then they understood why they were crying. Zhang Chen's mother, Xiaofang's mother, and Mrs. Tan quickly praised Zhang Xiangxi and Kan Xiangdong.

Xiang Nan stood up, walked over and picked up Zhang Xiangxi, went back to sit down in his seat, Zhang Xiangbei also stood up, and hugged Kan Xiangdong from Yao Fen.

Lao Tan looked at the four of them and said with a smile: "East, west, north, south, how great!"

The two land reclamation warriors nodded repeatedly.

What was not said was that the east, west, south and north became a family and were finally connected.

The quarrel between the two children actually promoted the progress of the matter. After the box became quiet, there was no need to say anything else. Several adults and old people directly began to discuss Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan. marriage.

Xiaofang said: "There are ready-made wedding rooms in the south, north and north. If you want a villa in Peach Blossom Spring or a row house by the Mishi river as a new house, you can start decorating it right away."

Zhang Chen nodded.

Several old people immediately began to discuss this issue. The final result of the discussion was that it is better to use a row house by the Mishi River as a new house. The villa in Taohuayuan is too far away from the city and is inconvenient to come and go. The most important thing is that , if the new house is placed in a row house by the Mishi River, Tan Shuzhen's house is next door, and it will be convenient for Lao Tan and Mrs. Tan to see Xiang Nan and Zhang Xiangbei.

Zhang Chen’s mother and the others didn’t have much way to go from “Splendid Home”. Zhang Chen’s mother had already thought about it. How could she arrange the things she and Xiao Zhao needed for the two children by themselves? Mother is responsible for purchasing for them, and at most Mrs. Tan will be brought along. The three old people take care of them, but they don't even take care of them comfortably.

Zhang Chen agreed, "Then we will decide on the terraced houses by the Mishi river, Xiang Nan and Zhang Xiangbei. If you have any decoration requirements, tell me and I will help you design them."

Tan Shuzhen said: "I asked Lao Tan to arrange for the best workers to go over and use the best materials to ensure your satisfaction."

While several adults were talking enthusiastically, Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan remained silent, pretending to be concentrating on teasing Kan Xiangdong and Zhang Xiangxi and not hearing what they were saying.

"Nannan, Beibei, what do you think? Tell us what you think." Xiaofang urged the two of them.

Zhang Xiangbei looked up at them, his face turned red. After holding it in for a long time, Zhang Xiangbei said, "I don't want to get married yet."

Everyone was shocked, and Zhang Chen's mother shouted: "Why, Beibei? You don't want to marry Nannan?"

Xiangnan blushed and said, "Grandma, Zhang Xiangbei didn't mean that. In fact, we have already discussed it. We don't want to get married so early. My troupe has just started to get better, and Zhang Xiangbei also has his own thoughts. We both have our own careers, and we want to wait until our careers stabilize before getting married."

"But Nannan, getting married won't delay your career." Xiaofang's mother pointed at Zhang Chen and Xiaofang and said, "Look at them, have they delayed their careers? If not, they have given birth to Xixi. Down."

"That's right." Zhang Chen's mother and Mrs. Tan nodded.

"But we don't want a house either." Zhang Xiangbei said, "I think we will earn our own house. We just want to get married on our own ability."

"Yes, no matter how small the house is, we are not afraid. We will work hard ourselves." Xiang Nan said.

"Well done, you two!" Xiaoshu praised from the side.

Everyone in the box was silent. After a long time, Lao Tan said:

"I think their idea is good, and I support them. We have adults from both sides here today. Even if their affairs are settled, we can rest assured. With today's situation, they can be considered engaged. What's next? When it’s time to get married, you should respect them and let them make their own choice.”

"I agree." Lao Zhang said, "I am sitting here, listening to what Nan Nan and Bei Bei say, and I feel happier than eating meat. The children have grown up and are more sensible than we thought. The two of them He should be considered that or something, he can be considered a rich second generation, and he doesn’t want to rely on his parents. I feel good about having such an idea."

Lao Tan and Xiaofang's father kept nodding their heads as they listened.

Although the man doesn't talk much, in the final analysis, he is still the head of the family. Since the three old people all have this opinion, the others have nothing to say, and the matter is settled like this.

Besides, Lao Zhang was right. Xiang Nan and Zhang Xiang Bei should both feel relieved that they have such thoughts.
