It was indeed late when he came back, and Lin Shuhan was waiting at the gate of the community. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, all the migrant workers returned to their hometowns. The city was mostly empty, and there were few cars and people on the road. Lin Shuhan felt uneasy and called.
I called and said I'd be home around 6:30, but no one was there at 6:40, and I couldn't answer the call again.
"The battery of the mobile phone is out." Tongtong got off the car and ran over, panting, "There was an accident ahead. I must have been drinking during the Chinese New Year. Two cars collided. It's hard for the bus."
It's okay! Go home.
As a result, there was a guest at home when we got home, a young man in his twenties or seventies. When he saw Tongtong coming back, he smiled and said, "Is it Tongtong?"
"Hello!" I really don't recognize him.
Fang Ran came out with a bowl and pointed at the young man, "This is my father's student Dong Ming. He came back from abroad years ago and came to pay New Year's greetings."
Lin Yutong shook hands with the other party and pointed toward the room, "Sit, sit wherever you want."
After changing clothes and coming out, Lin Xiyuan and Lu Gaogong also came out, but Lin Youqu was not there.
"Where's my dad?" she asked the nanny after washing her hands and going to the dining table.
The nanny pointed toward the study: "I answered the phone and will come out immediately."
That’ll do!
Fang Ran glanced at the study room and called to the nanny, "Bring a few more small plates and put the fish bones and chicken bones." Then she pointed at the sweet and sour carp, "Didn't I say that I wanted to eat this the most when I was abroad? Try it.
This dish made by aunt is very good."
"Okay!" Dong Ming told Lin Xiyuan about his time abroad, "I heard that you went abroad when you were fifteen, and returned home resolutely after the founding of the People's Republic of China..." "Yes! You have lived abroad for several years." Lin Xi
Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he spoke: "It all happened more than half a century ago." Then he asked Fang Ran and Tongtong: "Is Fang Ran going to be an exchange student abroad? Or will she go abroad after completing her undergraduate degree?"
?I think there is no rush. On the other hand, Tongtong, if you plan to go abroad... Grandpa will help you make arrangements. I asked your brother to study abroad for three to five years, so I have to go."
Probably because he is worried about his sister.
Tongtong said: "I have no plans to go abroad. It's too early to say this."
Lin Shuhan explained: "Her interest is in traditional Chinese medicine and veterinary medicine, and it is of no use to her to go out."
"It's okay if you don't go out, just keep it under your nose, don't worry." Lu Gaogong said and called Lin Youqu, "I've been waiting for you, why did it take so long?"
Lin Youqu responded inside and then came out, "Here we come! Let's eat."
During the meal, Fang Ran mostly talked to Dong Ming, "When will you leave after the Chinese New Year? How many years will you be abroad? If I go out as an exchange student, can we still be companions?"
Dong Ming nodded, "Yes! Do you want to be an exchange student?"
Fang Ran looked at Lin Youqu: "Dad, can I be an exchange student?"
"You can exchange for sophomore or junior year." Lin Youqu didn't object. "You have to take the exam yourself and pass it. My family doesn't object." Then he asked Dong Ming, "Do you have one year or two left?
"
"Two years!" Dong Ming said with a smile, "When Fang Ran is confirmed, the teacher must contact me. The exchange only lasts for one year, and I will definitely be able to take good care of Fang Ran."
good!
After dinner, Dong Ming did not say goodbye and continued talking in the living room. Tongtong and Lin Shuhan went to the study room. Neither of them were very familiar with Lin Youqu's students.
It happened that Fourth Master sent a message saying that he was leaving for the city on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the day after tomorrow.
Tongtong made an appointment with Lin Shuhan for a meal, "Let's eat together first. If you want to invite him, then you can eat alone another day. It's our first time, let's go have a tofu feast! He has already made a reservation."
Okay! Have a tofu feast.
The fourth master picked up the person, held Lin Shuhan's hand and walked to the car, "It's nearby, not far. Go over first, let's eat and chat!"
good!
Lin Shuhan followed him into the car and felt that Tongtong suddenly came to life. He sat in the back and kept talking, asking questions in detail, without even giving him a chance to communicate with others on the way.
This is a private restaurant, and all the cars parked in front are luxury cars. There are absolutely no cars like my own that drive a minivan.
The waiter led him inside, and Tongtong asked in a low voice what Fourth Master was going home for the New Year, but he didn't pay attention. But Lin Shuhan inadvertently turned his head and saw a person entering a certain private room, and the figure behind him was Peng Weikuan. He
He didn't care at all, but when he passed by the private room, he happened to catch up with the waiter who came in to deliver tea. The moment the curtain was lifted, he saw the man sitting inside.
He is a young man in his mid-twenties, I know him! He was the president of the previous student unions. After graduation, he seemed to have gone to a national ministry as a transfer student.
He entered the private room, twirling the tea cup in his hand, and suddenly asked the fourth master: "I heard Tongtong told you about your plan... you have never thought about taking the civil service exam."
"I don't have any plans for the moment."
Tongtong was curious: "Brother, why do you ask that?"
"I have this intention, and I wanted to find an opportunity to ask for your opinion." Lin Shuhan said, picking up the teapot and adding tea to both of them, "What? You don't agree?"
No! This decision was really sudden.
Lin Shuhan laughed and said, "I study roads and bridges. This is mainly due to the influence of my grandma. Personally speaking, I am still relatively lazy. You have to know that it is the same in this industry. It takes a lifetime to learn and work for a lifetime...
After the new year, I don’t know if I can go to the internship as scheduled. I really have to prepare for the exam.”
Tongtong: "…………" Okay! As long as you like it.
During the meal, Fourth Master asked Lin Shuhan about roads and bridges. The two of them used chopsticks, plates, and teacups to place on the table while talking. When it comes to professional matters, no matter how unfamiliar they are, they can still talk to familiar people.
Already.
After dinner, when they heard that Fourth Master was going to stay in a hotel, Lin Shuhan said no, "Our house over there has been tidied up and is livable! Come on, buy some bedding and daily necessities, and we'll have everything."
Okay! I did some shopping in the supermarket and went directly to the house prepared by Lin Shuhan.
I bought deli braised pork, cold dishes, and there was beer in the refrigerator. Lin Shuhan threw a can to Fourth Master, "Drink some more."
The fourth master also answered the question. He was not drunk, but Lin Shuhan was obviously a little drunk. He was drunk and started to ask questions. He didn't seem to pay attention to the questions at the dinner table. Now he felt that he was drunk.
Then I asked: "Are your uncles and aunts at home not retired?"
"Not yet, it would be nice to be able to retire in another ten years."
Lin Shuhan nodded, "After finishing graduate school and finishing Ph.D., it will be ten years younger. Many couples can't live past ten years..."
"I plan to get married after graduation. Going to graduate school will not prevent me from starting a family."
Lin Shuhan nodded, "It won't hinder...but you must have the financial ability..."
"Okay! I'll show you the income details later."
Lin Shuhan was worried again: "Uncle and aunt are middle school teachers? Middle school teachers are all strict... Tongtong doesn't like the strict family atmosphere..."
"My family background is high, and my parents will never be harsh to Tongtong if they are harsh to anyone..."
Lin Shuhan nodded: "Remember this! I promise, I will make the Lin family's family background better... You have to climb higher..."
You really drank too much! Tongtong helped the person into the house: "Go back and take a nap. After a nap, you will be fine."
Lin Shuhan lay down and held Tongtong's hand, "Don't worry, if your brother is sitting in an official position, he will never dare to treat you poorly in his life."
Okay! Okay! From now on, it’s up to you.
Maybe Lin Shuhan knew that it was useless to stop, so Lin Shuhan stopped. Didn’t the fourth master want to renovate the house? Let’s go! Help! Help buy building materials, help contact alumni and seniors, and negotiate prices. Tongtong found that nothing happened to him.
, unless you yell at yourself when eating out at night, other times the two of you start to act, and then the relationship gets better and better!
In the middle, Tongtong and Fourth Master only acted alone once, and that was when Fourth Master accompanied him to take a driver's license test.
Anyway, the brother and sister go in and out every day, go out happily and come back happily, and no one interferes. As for what's going on at home, they don't pay attention.
As long as the two old people are healthy, everything else is trivial. As for the matter between Lin Youqu and Peng Hui, this is a long-term tug of war. If you pay attention to this matter, then there will be nothing to do from now on.
Tongtong held her cell phone in her hand every day and vibrated the ringtone, just to be afraid of missing a call. As a result, she kept waiting for the call to come. She thought that if she didn't see her by the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she would have to visit Meng's hometown again.
As a result, on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, I had agreed to go with Fourth Master and Lin Shuhan to choose wallpapers, but the call came and it was Mr. Meng.
"It's me!" She smiled into the phone and said, "I've been waiting for you all these days and now I'm saying that if you don't call today, I'll have to go to Cheng Menlixue tomorrow."
Mr. Meng laughed loudly over there: "Don't be so talkative! If you have nothing urgent to do, come here first."
Okay! Let's leave now. We'll be there in forty minutes.
I got my driver's license and drove by myself. I waved to the two of them and drove out in the new car.
Qiangzi looked at the door, oh! This girl has a good family situation. I haven’t seen her for a few days, and she drove a brand-new car here. She is familiar with her. Last time I saw her, I called her master. This time I saw her.
Shout: "Brother Qiangzi."
Qiangzi laughed awkwardly, "I'm going to clean the car, you go in first."
Wu Shu was drying medicinal herbs under the eaves in the yard. As soon as Tongtong entered, he called: "Senior brother?"
Hehe hehe... let’s become a disciple first! Before I even finished my horoscope, all the senior brothers called me.
Being snorted didn't affect my happy mood. When I entered the main hall, there were several people inside, some standing and some sitting. Mr. Meng was sitting in the middle, and there were two or four people sitting on the single sofas on both sides.
The men who are fifteen and above must be members of the system based on their clothes. However, these two people are wearing slippers, which proves that the relationship between these two people and Mr. Meng is very close, even extremely close. And in the living room
The person standing serving tea and serving fruits must be the secretary or assistant brought by these two people.
Mr. Meng waved, "This is the apprentice I picked up on the way! My closed disciple..."
Before the words left his mouth, Tongtong bent his knees and said, "Disciple pays homage to Master!"
Meng Jun: "..." Whose child is this, so good at climbing along a pole?
Zhu Hesong couldn't help but laugh, "Being a disciple is very important, so why don't you become a disciple now?"
"I came in a hurry, so I chose an auspicious day to offer the apprenticeship ceremony."
These words were even funnier, and even Meng Jun couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh. Mr. Meng raised his hand, "Get up! Get up! It's not so particular." After saying that, he looked at the two people: "I want to remove the nails from my waist, okay!
There’s no need to hire any experts. It’s just a normal process. Just find someone who can get it for me. For post-operative care, don’t hire other national experts. I can’t afford to lose this person. The only ones around me are the three of you.
Disciples, He Song, Wu Shu, and..."
"Lin Yutong, please call me Tongtong."
"And Tongtong! It's up to you three to figure out how to deal with it! Meng Jun, don't point fingers, let your senior brothers and junior sisters decide on this matter..."
It turned out that Meng Jun was his biological son, and the man named Hesong should be Mr. Meng's more accomplished disciple. As soon as the old man said it, Tongtong nodded in agreement, "Okay, master!"
Zhu Hesong: "..." Can you stop talking? Do you know where the nail is? You dare to agree! That is the master, not the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep. If those livestock doctors are broken, we will spend money to compensate others for their losses. You
He said that if the doctor fails, he will really fail.
