Chapter 73 Chinese New Year, a malicious invitation
At night, the sound of firecrackers began to sound one after another.
The family of three had a simple meal, and Yu's father wanted to study bamboo weaving skills, but Yu's mother pulled him back.
"It's been a year. Let's take a rest. How much more can this time delay you?"
Father Yu usually listens to his wife, but now there are more important things than listening to his wife.
Xiaoxiao calculated that the three days were almost up, and she also advised: "Dad, there is only one party a year, why don't you watch it with us? How boring we two are."
Father Yu saw that his wife and daughter were trying hard to keep her, and after thinking about it, although the bamboo weaving looked better than the party, the bamboo weaving was still not as important as the mother and daughter, so he stayed.
After a while, someone shouted in the yard: "Is Xiaoxiao here?"
Xiaoxiao went out and was approached by three female classmates from elementary school.
"Are you here?" The girls went to school together except for elementary school, and then separated in junior high school.
It's rare to get one together in one year, which is quite strange.
Rural people go to school late, and Zhao Yinzi is the oldest among them. Although he is in the same grade, he is three years older than them all. He is very understanding of people and the world, and has always been the leader of their breed.
"Don't Hualei's family own a restaurant? Let's go to their house to get together. Let's go together."
Xiaoxiao looked around the room and had just agreed to stay with her parents.
After traveling to Daqing for a year, she became more and more dependent on her parents.
"Go, you haven't gotten together in years." Yu's mother heard it in the house and shouted directly outside.
"Okay, parents, I'm going."
Hualei's family is in the northwest of the town. There have been a lot of tourists in the town in the past two years, and her family's business is still good.
But: "Why is her mother so generous to let us go to her house for a party? She won't ask us for money, right?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked. Her mother is really a stingy person, so she has to be wary. If she asks for money, she can
I don’t want to go. Although her restaurant’s business is good, it doesn’t mean the craftsmanship is better than her father’s.
It's okay to ask her dad to cook some dishes and have a party at her house, no money required.
"Her mother suggested this. She wanted to celebrate Hua Lei's final exam. She ranked first in the school. If we support her, we should not charge us any money, right?"
Liu Yanyan held her arm. Among these people, the two were the same age and had the same birthday, so they had the best relationship.
"How did you do in the test this time? You have to be mentally prepared that you may be treated as a control group."
Zhao Yinzi said: "We are all the control group, okay? The two of us are in a private high school, not as good as No. 2 Middle School, and we won't be ranked first in the class, let alone the first in the school."
Banju said: "I'm even worse. I didn't even go to high school, so I went to work. However, it can provide us with a gathering place and food. What's wrong with letting others compare and feel superior? My self-esteem is not that strong.
Come and step on me as much as you like."
Liu Yanyan curled her lips and said: "Actually, we don't care. In private high school, I couldn't get into high school. Now my grades are passable even if my grades are not good. But Xiaoxiao, you are different. You are now a member of No. 1 Middle School. This is our youth."
It's the best school in the city, and if you don't get good grades, you're more likely to be targeted."
Xiaoxiao is not worried at all: "It doesn't matter, I don't care." It's true that I don't care. It doesn't matter who compares with whom.
Hualei's mother was very enthusiastic and invited a few people in. They were not the only ones having dinner at his house. There was another table, which should be Hualei's brother's friends.
"It's in the same room, and there's a table, so it's convenient."
Xiaoxiao went in and saw that ten boys had already started drinking. Except for two who looked familiar and were from the town, they didn't recognize any of the others.
The one sitting in the middle is wearing a black leather jacket, tight jeans, a pair of international fashion brand shoes, and a cigarette in his hand, which is particularly conspicuous.
When he saw a few girls coming in, his eyes lingered on Yu Xiaoxiao, then he chuckled and turned his head.
"Master Xie, I'll bring you a drink."
Others were very respectful to him. He seemed to be used to this kind of scene and was indifferent. He did not accept the compliments from these people at all, but those people still enjoyed it.
Liu Yanyan said in Xiaoxiao's ear: "Isn't Brother Hualei about to graduate from junior college? This Young Master Xie is the son of the Xie Group. I heard that my mother is a distant relative of the Mu family and can rely on Shengjing."
Xiaoxiao nodded: "Then why did you invite us?"
"Hualei's grades are good. Her mother wants her to be Mr. Xie's girlfriend."
"That still has nothing to do with us?"
"Are you stupid? We have all become the control group to highlight Hua Lei's excellent results. She is not ugly herself. Won't she have successfully attracted Mr. Xie's attention by then?"
Xiaoxiao nodded, so that was the purpose.
"How can you be so cooperative about such a disgusting thing? If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
Unexpectedly, Mother Hua had to sacrifice her daughter in order to find a job for her son. With his sky-high eyes, could Mr. Xie fall in love with a woman from the town?
"Don't we also want to see the excitement? Can we get together? How long do you think we haven't seen each other?"
The vacation times of each school are different, and they all live on campus, so it is not easy to go home. It has been a long time since we have seen each other. Especially since Banju failed to pass the high school entrance examination and went to work in other cities.
I only come back during the Chinese New Year.
Ban Ju snorted and said, "I heard that young masters from wealthy families must be well-matched when getting married. Mother Hua probably wouldn't dare to let Hua Lei marry in. She might just be a girlfriend for Young Master Xie and find a job for her brother."
"Hua Lei is also willing?" The reason why they have a good relationship must be because they have similar interests. Hua Lei loves vanity, but Hua Lei is not like that. She is a good girl who is down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships. She doesn't believe that Hua Lei wants to do the same.
"What if she doesn't do it? Her mother won't let her go to school. She still wants to get rid of the family by taking exams."
This is true. The reason why Hua Lei studies hard is because she wants to pass the exam and go far, so in order to successfully complete high school, she still has to endure it.
"If this is the result she wants, then we will cooperate with her today."
As friends, that's all they can help.
"Auntie, can we help?" Zhao Yinzi is the smartest and the most eloquent, and is still the backbone of the group.
Mother Hua smiled and said, "No, the food will be ready in a while. You guys can chat and I'll ask Hua Lei to come over."
Hualei had dressed up specially today, even put on makeup, and came over shyly.
Her mother dragged her to toast Mr. Xie first.
Mother Hua’s smile reached her ears with her teeth. “It’s great that Mr. Xie can come to our store. When the tourists hear that you have been here, they will rush over.”
Liu Yanyan trembled: "I have goosebumps. It makes Mr. Xie look like a leader. He can still bring in customer traffic."
"We have many wealthy families in Qingcheng, but Mr. Xie can only be considered middle-class, right?"
"But compared to people like us, he is a big boss."
