"Oh, you still remember that you have a family. It's been almost half a year since you went abroad and went to that damn institute, right? Look at your hair, you haven't had it cut for a long time. Go out and dress up.
Hairy thieves don’t need to put on makeup anymore…”
When Gao Fan walked into the house, he received a lot of nagging from his mother Ran Yuying without any suspense.
If other parents of college students hear these words, they will probably blame Ran Yuying for Versailles. In this era, who of the children who go to college outside the country only goes home once every six months? Some children whose families have financial difficulties and are reluctant to bear the travel expenses,
It’s not unusual to go home once a year.
Gao Fan spent at least most of the last semester at home, so much so that Ran Yuying even forgot that this child was supposed to go to school.
My sister Gao Min also came out of the house. She helped Gao Fan take the luggage and said with a smile: "You are really busy now. Dad, who is the director of the factory, is not as busy as you."
Gao Yiping stood nearby and said sourly: "Of course he is busier than me. His labor service company borrowed 25 million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop, and even Americans came over. How can a small fertilizer factory like mine have a lot of money?"
They are beautiful."
Hearing Gao Yiping talk about Americans, Gao Fan asked: "By the way, Dad, Bob is here already, right?"
"Here he is, now he hangs out with Yang Kai every day." Gao Yiping said.
Gao Fan was a little surprised: "Yang Kai hasn't returned to Beijing yet?"
"No." Before Gao Yiping could answer, Gao Min took over, "He said you asked him to be responsible for the design of the vitamin C device. He works on the design with Professor Hai and Liao Gong every day. When he is free, he
Went out drinking with Bob, and Fatty."
"What do you mean there are fat people?" Gao Fan didn't understand for a moment.
"Ning Mo is also hanging out with them. Yang Kai even said they are the Three Musketeers." Gao Min said with a smile.
"How can these three people get together!" Gao Fan put his hand on his forehead.
A graduate student from Peking University, a rich second-generation American, and an unemployed young man from a local labor service company in Cangtang, the three of them came together and were called the three cheap customers. This Yang Kai really became more and more cheap as he played.
"I asked Xie Qin, and she said that Bob was looking for a bar, so Fatty took him there, and said that it was you who told him." Gao Min said.
Gao Fan recalled it, and it seemed that such a thing was indeed the case. When Bob came to Cangtang last time, Gao Fan was too lazy to accompany him, so he arranged for Ning Mo to be his guide, euphemistically calling him an "accompanying escort."
Although Bob is a second-generation rich American and a Harvard elite, he still has a childlike innocence and loves to be unconventional. In China, everyone has an instinctive sense of awe for foreign guests and dare not follow Bob's crazy behavior.
Only Ning Mo, a fat man with a fat body and a generous heart, was not so particular about things. After the initial feeling of strangeness passed, he and Bob hooked up and hung out together.
Yang Kai came to Cangtang this time for official business to help coordinate the design of the vitamin C device. Privately, he also had an idea to get to know Bob, a foreign guest with some background, so that he could find someone when he wanted to study abroad in the future.
A guarantor.
Out of this idea, he naturally wanted to contact Bob. Coincidentally, Yang Kai also belongs to the kind of eclectic person. Seeing the Baoning group having fun, he naturally wanted to join them, and also gave this
The expanded version of the combination was nicknamed the "Three Musketeers".
"Yang Kai is amazing." Gao Yiping interjected, "He has a high professional level, and he is bold and careful. Director Xu told me about the negotiation process between him and Dampier. He grasped the heat very well, and he immediately put the opponent on the spot.
They were suppressed and had to agree to our conditions.
"I heard that Yang Kai is not much older than you, but you can't compare to his stability. You should learn more from him."
I taught him everything he did, okay?
Gao Fan muttered in his heart.
However, he knew the reason why his father spoke like this. A small part of it was a habitual fatherly lesson, and the other part was because his father was mentally unbalanced.
There is no way, the son is too good, the father is under a lot of pressure, so he will belittle his son every chance he gets.
I'm afraid Gao Yiping himself wasn't even aware of such an emotion.
"Hmm, I'm going to find Yang Kai and the others now. I happen to have something to talk to them about." Gao Fan said, turning around and walking out.
"You just entered the house!" Ran Yuying was unhappy, "You have to take a shower, change clothes, and eat before you go."
Therefore, Gao Fan could only take a shower and change clothes first, and then had a sumptuous dinner, and then he walked out of the house. Under the guidance of Gao Min, he went to a newly emerging night market in Cangtang County. It is said that Bob took
It's called a bar there.
It has been four or five years since the implementation of large-scale contract work in rural areas, and the market supply has become increasingly abundant. Workers in the city have received several rounds of salary increases, and they have some spare money. As a result, consumption places such as night markets have appeared.
At first, it was just some bachelors in the county who were bored at night. They found a small restaurant and ordered a few cheap side dishes, drank a pot of wine, and got together to brag and chat.
Later, some self-employed businessmen discovered the business opportunities and set up a small stall on the roadside, selling boiled peanuts, boiled edamame, dried bean paste and other snacks to attract singles to spend.
The peanuts and edamame in the small county are bought directly from farmers in the suburbs. There are even farmers from the suburbs who come to set up stalls themselves. The cost is very low and the selling price is not high. Three or four people, including food and wine, can
Spending one or two yuan at night is enough.
As a result, it gradually became popular, and more and more self-employed people came out to set up stalls, and more and more residents came to the night market to spend money. Some people who had married, were infected by the atmosphere, and occasionally gritted their teeth and brought
Come and have a meal with the whole family.
In this era, beer was not yet popular, and the price was very high, so it was not affordable for county residents. The stalls sold local rice wine, which was the kind of "Red Army" that Gao Fan jokingly called Bob.
Cola".
The alcohol content of junmai wine is not high, about a dozen degrees. Some people who don’t drink much can ask the store to add some water to the wine and drink it purely as a soft drink. Children in Cangtang can drink some since they were young.
Rice wine, of course, what they drink is not wine mixed with water, but water mixed with a little wine, which is just a little sweet.
The night market has only flourished in the past two months, and Gao Fan has never been there. Although Gao Min works in Luping, he always comes back on weekends, and sometimes goes out with his high school classmates to go shopping, so he is quite familiar with the night market.
"Look, they must be there."
Walking into the night market, Gao Min looked around and saw a stall with many people standing around it, so he pointed it out to Gao Fan with a smile.
