The old Taoist priest returned to Dongzhou from Jiangyang and acted as a driver, taking Qin Fan, Ye Qingcheng and Xia Zhu to Qingshan County.
Qin Fan returned one step ahead of Li Nianci.
There were not enough rooms at home, so the old Taoist priest and Ye Qingcheng had no choice but to stay in a hotel.
When Qin Fan returned home, only his sister Qin Yue'er was at home doing her winter vacation homework, and Qin Jingye was not there.
Seeing Qin Fan, the little loli Qin Yuer immediately happily jumped in front of Qin Fan and gave Qin Fan a big hug.
"Brother, you are back!"
"Where's our mother?"
Qin Fan rubbed his sister's forehead and said with a smile: "I'm not with my mother, I guess she's still on the way."
"By the way, Brother Hu Kan was asking me yesterday when you would be back? I told him it would be soon."
Qin Fan said: "Okay, I'll go find him soon."
"Our dad is still busy at work?" Qin Fan didn't see Qin Jingye coming out. The first thing Qin Fan thought was that Qin Jingye was still busy.
"Well, I haven't seen our dad in a few days." Qin Yue'er pursed her lips, seeming to be very dissatisfied with that irresponsible dad.
"Then do your homework at home and don't run around." Qin Fan was already used to Qin Jingye's workaholic nature and did not interfere.
Tell your sister, turn around and go out.
Three years ago, he fell down and lost his mobile phone. After going to Dongzhou, he never bothered to contact Fa Xiao.
When he comes back this time, he wants to catch up with some of his friends.
He first went to Hu Magazine's house which was relatively nearby.
Hu Kan is a second-generation rich man. His family owns a Siping supermarket in the county, with a total of four stores.
Hu Can's house is a self-built villa with a small courtyard of more than 80 square meters. It is not included in the demolition area. Living in such a house is very comfortable.
When he arrived at the door of Hu Can's house, Qin Fan saw only two young people who were dissolute, walking back and forth not far from Hu Can's house.
Qin Fan was keenly aware that these two people seemed to be spying on Hu Magazine's family.
Through the iron gate, Qin Fan glanced at the clean yard. There was no one in the yard. He shouted inside: "Hu Magazine!"
Soon, a bedroom window on the second floor was opened, and a boy with a fashionable thunderhead stuck his head out of the window.
When he saw Qin Fan outside the door, the boy was suddenly surprised: "Old Qin, you are back!"
"Wait until I go down and open the door!"
A warm smile appeared on Qin Fan's face. After so many years, hearing the familiar name from his youth again felt like it was a lifetime ago, and it felt like he hadn't seen it for a long time.
This was always the case when I was a child. Even though my butt is bigger, I always like to add the word "老" in front of me when calling people.
Just like what is sung in a song: When we were young, we all dreamed of growing up quickly. We didn’t have to go home every day, we didn’t have to listen to our nagging parents, and we didn’t have to ask adults for pocket money...
But when I grew up, I found that I could never return to my former innocence.
Hu Magazine had his slippers on inside out and ran over to open the door for Qin Fan.
"Old Qin, I knew you were destined to be lucky. Even if you fell from the sky, let alone Mount Tai, nothing would happen to you."
Hu Can patted Qin Fan heavily on the shoulder and looked him up and down with a face full of joy.
"I'm fatter and stronger than before! It's just too boring to come back for so long without asking me to say you're safe. If I hadn't heard from Yue'er, I would have prepared paper money for you during next year's Qingming Festival as in previous years.
"
Qin Fan enjoyed this friendship very much and said with a smile: "My mother sent me to Dongzhou when I came back. I thought you two might not be at home, so I didn't look for you."
"Where's the scholar? Ask him out and go sit in his old place."
Hu Can took out his cell phone: "Okay, I'll call him, and sister Xiao Qiao, she's been back for a few days."
Xiao Qiao, don’t get me wrong, I’m not the mid lane mage. My real name is Ning Xiao Qiao, and I can be considered Qin Fan’s younger brother.
After making the call, Hu Kan said with a smile: "The old place is no longer there. It has been demolished everywhere in the past two years. They moved to the west of the city."
"Shuhao and I often get together there."
"Let's go, I have informed Shuhao and Qiao Mei that we are going to our old place in the west of the city."
Chengxi, old local restaurant.
A home-cooked restaurant with a nice environment, like a farmhouse.
Hu Quan drove his voluptuous BMW to the old place. Already standing at the door was a tall, pretty girl wearing a white down jacket.
There is also a gentleman-looking boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
"Shu Hao, Miss Qiao!"
Hu Jian shouted and braked to stop the BMW next to him.
When Qin Fan got off the car, the man and woman had already taken the initiative to come over to greet him.
"Xiaofan, it's so nice to see you!" Ning Xiaoqiao's voice was sweet, like the girl next door.
Zheng Shuhao didn't say anything, he walked over and put his arms around Qin Fan's shoulders, bumping him hard.
"Brother, just stay alive!"
Qin Fan patted Zheng Shuhao on the shoulder and chuckled: "You are so lucky that the King of Hell dare not accept it!"
"Haha, good!"
Hu Can got off the car and shouted: "Okay, stop standing around, let's talk inside!"
"Let's go!" Zheng Shuhao pulled Qin Fan into the hotel private room.
Xiao Qiao also followed behind with a smile on his face.
In the private room, several people were chatting happily, all about embarrassing things from their childhood.
Qin Fan disappeared for three years. In fact, the three of them also had their own lives and basically only met once a year.
They talked about how when they were young, Jeremy Zheng went down to the river to catch fish and almost drowned. Thanks to Hu Can's quick wit, he used a fishing net to pull him out.
I poked a hornet's nest while chatting about nonsense, and was stung all over my head.
They were talking about how Qin Fan liked to lift up Qiao Mei’s skirt when he was little.
The four of them gradually laughed together, and Xiao Qiao's face turned red.
Qin Fan felt that after three thousand years in the Immortal Realm, his already cold heart was gradually melting.
This feeling made him feel like he was returning to that innocent boyhood time.
In fact, this is how he should feel at this age.
It's just that three thousand years of life of preying on the weak made him forget that he was still a boy under the age of eighteen.
After a while, the food was served, and several people chatted while drinking.
However, Hu Quan suddenly seemed to be crazy and poured wine into his stomach all by himself.
Zheng Shuhao advised: "You should drink less, I don't want to send you back later!"
"It's up to you to take care of it!" Hu Jian suddenly shouted loudly. He didn't know whether it was because he drank too much or was angry, but his face turned red.
"Who do you think you are, how dare you control me!"
Zheng Shuhao frowned and did not share his common sense. He smiled at Qin Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, don't pay attention to him. This guy is drunk and crazy!"
A flash of surprise flashed in Qin Fan's eyes. He felt that Hu Can was not drunk and crazy, but rather did it on purpose.
"You're the one who went crazy with alcohol. I've tolerated you for a long time, Jeremy Zheng!" Hu Magazine suddenly grabbed the wine bottle on the table and threw it to the ground.
Bang, the wine bottle was smashed to pieces, and there were shards of glass everywhere.
Xiao Qiao exclaimed in fright and scolded: "Hu Kan, are you crazy!"
Zheng Shuhao was also angry. He adjusted his glasses, suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "Old Hu, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. Don't get drunk and crazy!"
Qin Fan looked at Hu Magazine without saying anything, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Hu Jian suddenly pointed at Zheng Shuhao and roared: "You, Zheng Shuhao, don't think that I don't know the things you did behind my back!"
