After setting foot on the land of Yanjing again, Tang Yanxue felt much more relaxed than the last time.
The reason is very simple. Xu Bing took the initiative to accompany him this time, and he came to pay homage to his parents. In her opinion, this was equivalent to bringing his boyfriend home to meet his parents, which was of great significance.
First, we went to Babaoshan to visit Tang Yanxue’s grandfather. The treatment of the martyrs was naturally the same. Flowers were placed in front of the tomb. Apparently, leaders of the country had come to pay their respects in the past few days, and the surrounding area was also cleaned very clean.
Although Tang Yanxue's parents were genuine second-generation celebrities, they were eventually buried in a very ordinary cemetery in the suburbs. In fact, the Science and Technology Commission originally planned to bury them in the Martyrs Cemetery, but Tang Yanxue refused because this was what her father had confessed to during his lifetime.
Although this cemetery is very remote, there are many taxis coming here today. After all, it is during the Spring Festival, and there are still many people coming to pay homage to their relatives.
After getting out of the taxi, Tang Yanxue became a little excited. She was not very sad, but rather a little uneasy.
Xu Bing knew what Tang Yanxue was thinking, but he didn't tell her, and just followed her into the tomb silently.
"Huh?"
Tang Yanxue suddenly stopped, stared at a middle-aged man not far away and let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Bing was startled and followed Tang Yanxue's gaze.
Not far away, a very sloppily dressed middle-aged man was sitting on the ground, drinking and talking in front of a tombstone.
The man's hair was messy and slightly long, and he had a bad image. To put it harshly, he could be compared to a crazy beggar on the street.
"Why is Uncle Guo here?" Tang Yanxue said to herself.
"Do you recognize him?" Xu Bing asked.
Tang Yanxue nodded and said: "His name is Guo Xinxiong. He is my father's schoolmate and my father's best friend. He also liked my mother back then. He is a science fan and can be considered a scientist, but his research direction is different from that of my father.
Unlike mom, he prefers to study some civilian things and is not interested in military or politics."
Xu Bing said oh.
Tang Yanxue then introduced: "He has a very weird character. His family was originally very rich, but in the end he invested all the money in scientific research and built a laboratory of his own. However, over the years, I have never heard of him doing research.
Come up with something valuable."
Xu Bing smiled, somewhat curious about the man not far away.
It is said that when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. For a weirdo with such a weird personality, there are only two possibilities, one is a genius, and the other is a madman.
As Tang Yanxue said, this Guo Xinxiong doesn't look like a madman, but he is probably a genius.
Genius is like pregnancy. It takes longer for people to discover it.
Who knows a woman is pregnant when her belly is not big yet?
Before he became famous, who knew he was a genius?
"Let's go and have a look." Xu Bing said with a smile.
Tang Yanxue nodded and led Xu Bing to not far away from Guo Xinxiong. The latter seemed completely unaware that there was someone behind him and was still chattering to himself. However, what he said made Xu Bing almost laugh out loud.
Come.
"Old classmate, you still owe me ten yuan. Do you still remember that when you were in college, you borrowed it from me and never paid it back?"
"You said you are serious. When I asked you to marry me, you didn't listen. Now you are out of luck by following him!"
"I'm working on an automatic generator that doesn't require oil. Although others don't believe that I will succeed, you will believe it, right? Forget it, you won't believe it either, but it's okay, I believe it."
"Hey, who are you?" Guo Xinxiong suddenly turned his head and exclaimed: "Ah, I recognize you, you are Xiaoxue, right?"
Tang Yanxue quickly smiled and nodded: "Yes, Uncle Guo, it's rare that you still remember me, why are you here?"
Guo Xinxiong jumped up, threw the wine bottle in his hand far away with a clang, then jumped in front of Tang Yanxue, turned around twice, looked up and down, looked very serious, and finally laughed.
: "As expected, it's Xiaoxue. She looks exactly like your mother. Hey, is this your boyfriend?"
Tang Yanxue already knew a little about Guo Xinxiong's character, so she could only nod with a wry smile. Xu Bing smiled and stretched out his hand, saying: "Hello, Uncle Guo."
"No, it's quite bad." Guo Xinxiong did not shake hands with Xu Bing, but took Tang Yanxue's hand and suddenly burst into tears.
"Xiaoxue, your Uncle Guo is so sad. Your father left and took your mother with him. I used to be your mother's loyal fan, but it's a pity that your father snatched me away in the end. Wuwuwu.
"
Like a child, Guo Xinxiong suddenly started crying, and he cried quite sadly, and the content of what he cried made Tang Yanxue very speechless.
Xu Bingze's balls ached. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such shameless people. He just had a crush on someone else. Why should he hold someone else's daughter and cry non-stop? Man, you have to have some integrity, okay?
Because he had heard Tang Yanxue talk about Guo Xinxiong before, Xu Bing always believed that the man in front of him was a genius, but at this time, he felt a little awkward.
To be honest, he doesn't like Guo Xinxiong very much, but at this time, he obviously can't talk to him.
Tang Yanxue couldn't laugh or cry. She wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only let Guo Xinxiong hold her and cry non-stop.
Fortunately, Guo Xinxiong cried faster and laughed faster. He soon stopped crying, took Xiaoxue's hand, and said happily: "Okay, okay, no matter what, you still look like your mother.
Yes, you are here to pay homage to your parents this time, right? You must go to your uncle's house to find your way there. Next time you come to Yanjing, you must come to my house to see me if you have time. No, you must come if you don't have time.
.”
Before Tang Yanxue could speak, Guo Xinxiong suddenly grabbed Xu Bing and his expression became a little fierce: "Hey, boy, are you Xiaoxue's boyfriend?"
Xu Bing smiled bitterly at Guo Xinxiong and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Guo Xinxiong threatened darkly: "Boy, what do you do? Is it to deceive her feelings? I can tell you, if you dare to bully Xiaoxue, I will bring you into my laboratory and let you experience the consequences of life.
What does death feel like?"
Xu Bing's vest was sweating. Guo Xinxiong's eyes were so fierce that it made him feel cold.
"Uncle Guo, what are you talking about? I get along very well with him, so why don't you scare him?" Tang Yanxue said quickly to Guo Xinxiong.
Guo Xinxiong snorted coldly and said: "You are too naive, just like your mother, you are too naive, so you will be deceived. I am helping you."
Tang Yanxue really wanted to say that she didn't want his help, but she couldn't say this. She could only apologize and cast a helpless look at Xu Bing. Fortunately, Xu Bing seemed to be becoming more and more calm, and just looked at him
He nodded to show that he was fine.
"Uncle Guo, if you have anything to do, please leave first. I want to pay homage to my parents." Tang Yanxue begged Guo Xinxiong pitifully.
Guo Xinxiong did not feel bad for her this time, and immediately nodded in agreement, but before leaving, he said: "Xiaoxue, you must visit my house today, I will treat you to lunch, you understand, don't run away, I'm here
I'll wait for you outside, but you must not run away."
After saying that, Guo Xinxiong exited the cemetery with three steps, but he quickly drove a Santana 2000 that had been hit to pieces to the outside of the cemetery, and then stared at Tang Yanxue and Xu Bing from a distance, as if he was really scared.
The two of them left without saying goodbye.
Tang Yanxue didn't pay attention. She knelt in front of her father-in-law's grave and pulled Xu Bing to kneel down. Just like introducing her grandfather before, she also told Xu Bing and herself. During the introduction, she
Her face was slightly red, and she seemed a little shy, but her face looked more satisfied and happy.
Xu Bingnai had no choice but to kneel aside. He actually didn't want to kneel, but he was afraid of hurting Tang Yanxue's heart, so he had no choice but to aggrieve himself.
Fortunately, he was very good at comforting himself, and kept saying in his mind that he was worshiping elders and martyrs, and then he felt balanced.
The two walked out of the cemetery and were immediately pulled into the car by Guo Xinxiong. Guo Xinxiong was very excited. When driving, he didn't care whether he was speeding or not. He drove a broken Santana like a plane, and it could reach the top speed.
to one hundred and fifty yards.
This really frightened Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue, but neither of them dared to speak. Guo Xinxiong kept nagging in the car. No matter whether Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue paid attention to him or not, he would never finish his words.
, from getting on the bus to getting off the bus, it was a total of one hour's drive, and he never stopped.
Okay, let me add that he took the wrong road five times in one hour. In fact, the cemetery was only half an hour's drive away from where he lived. It took him a full hour to get there without traffic jams.
It really amazed Xu Bing!
After getting out of the car, Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue kept retching, with purple faces. Guo Xinxiong opened an abandoned warehouse on the roadside. There was a loud crash, and the rolling shutter door opened, revealing thousands of square meters of empty space inside.
The venue is full of waste. There are discarded newspapers, instant noodle boxes, empty cans, etc. on the ground. It is a mess. Of course, there are also some daily necessities.
Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue were dumbfounded. Looking at Guo Xinxiong who was inviting them, Tang Yanxue couldn't believe her eyes. She frowned and said with a bitter smile: "Uncle Guo, where are you?"
Guo Xinxiong said very proudly: "This is my home. By the way, my laboratory is also here. How about it? It's spacious and impressive, right?"
Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue almost fell over.
The magnificence, it's simply too majestic, it makes people want to die.
The surroundings are desolate. A few kilometers away, there is the faint sound of forklifts demolishing abandoned houses. The road in front of the house is full of potholes and has long been abandoned.
And Guo Xinxiong’s laboratory and home are actually in this lonely abandoned warehouse?
As if everything was an illusion, Xu Bing was reluctant to believe that a genius would actually conduct research in a place like this.
He now regards Guo Xinxiong as a lunatic.
There's something wrong with this guy's brain, or there's something wrong with my brain.
