I nodded, they were both going abroad for further studies.
This is the first time since childhood that we have been so far apart. Those who go to the capital go to the capital, those who go to the south go to the south, and those who go abroad go abroad.
Although the world is developing at a rapid pace, mobile phones and other convenient methods are becoming more and more popular, and you can meet people thousands of miles away without leaving home, but after all, you can't be together all the time, and I feel very disappointed.
Chen Xi's eyes were filled with tears: "It's only four years. We can still be together in four years."
That being said, no matter how sad we are, we have to leave, but the adults who can't leave are the saddest ones.
The bus stopped in front of the original diamond-shaped building, now the Yunlu Hotel, and Uncle Han was already waiting for us at the door.
Yunlu Hotel is named after my last name, which is a homophony of Lulu’s first name.
When he saw us getting off the bus, Uncle Han in a suit and leather shoes immediately stepped forward.
Perhaps it was because my second uncle had so many blessings and was willing to work hard that the Yunlu Hotel was well received as soon as it opened. Twelve years later, it is still flourishing. The chain stores have spread all over the Northeast, North China, and the southeastern coastal areas, and faintly to the south.
Lu Jinjun.
Yunlu Group went public not long after its establishment, and the second uncle suddenly became a billionaire.
Even the people around him have become prosperous.
Uncle Han is now in charge of several chain stores in North China. We had to have a meal away from home after graduation before rushing back, otherwise we would be very busy.
Uncle Han is now in his forties, but he is becoming more and more energetic. His originally honest face is now full of shrewdness and ability.
"Oh, little guys, we are finally back."
"Dad, we are no longer little guys." Han Ziqi protested to no avail.
"Uncle Han!" Fang Zhongyu rushed up and gave him a bear hug. Uncle Han laughed heartily and patted him on the back.
We also said hello and chatted as we walked inside.
"Uncle Han, where is my second uncle?" I peered into the glorious hall. Normally, my second uncle would have come out long ago.
Uncle Han rubbed his belly and laughed: "That's not true. I see you and Lulu are leaving, so I have to hurry up and go to the capital and Nanjiang to open another chain. We are currently in a meeting to discuss it."
Uncle Han lowered his head and said to me with a melancholy look on his face: "Human, the older you get, the less likely you are to be separated from your children."
I was about to cry when my nose became sore, but Uncle Han quickly stopped me and changed the subject: "They all have their own direction of progress, what are you going to learn?"
"Business Administration, already registered."
"Hey, I heard that in that department of your school, there are many kids from rich families who want to go home and inherit their careers. Don't forget to get to know a few more of them when the time comes, which will help the development of our hotel."
"I understand, Uncle Han."
Han Ziqi pulled his father's arm disapprovingly: "Dad, this is also the first time Nuan Ting has left home. Don't put any pressure on her."
"Hey, let me tell you, your child, the second child is not married, and these two children cannot handle it now. How can you inherit this business in the future?"
Lulu quickly waved her hands and jumped aside: "I can't do it, don't let me learn this tortuous thing, I can't learn it, I don't have enough brains."
I……
I think it’s better to let my second uncle get married and have a child. After all, I don’t like to be so tired.
Being rich but tired is more important than having no money but being happy.
I just want to be a senior executive and be able to support my family.
So he is still Uncle Ku’s biological son.
After listening to Lulu and our thoughts, Uncle Han stomped his feet and scolded us as filial sons.
Fortunately, we reached the fourth floor quickly and saw Aunt Duan who was patrolling the Chinese restaurant.
"Old Han, my children have only been able to relax in the past four years. Why are you putting pressure on them?"
Well, Aunt Duan might as well not comfort her.
Lulu and I were immediately identified.
I really couldn't sit still anymore, so I quietly slipped into the elevator and went to the top floor to find my second uncle.
Going up to the top floor, the company's senior executives seemed to have just finished a meeting. They all came out of the conference room holding documents in good spirits.
"Nuan Ting is here."
"Yeah." After greeting everyone, I slipped into the conference room.
As expected, the second uncle didn't leave. He sat at the top and continued to look at the documents in his hands.
I tiptoed and poured a glass of water and put it next to my second uncle. My second uncle didn't even raise his head, he took it and took a sip with a frown.
My second uncle hasn't aged at all in these years. Maybe it was because he looked too old before, but he hasn't changed much now.
I always feel that what my second uncle looked like before is what he looks like now, except that his brows are full of exhaustion.
I walked behind my second uncle and gave him a squeeze on his shoulders.
As soon as he put his hand on the second uncle's shoulder, the second uncle suddenly turned around: "Hey, you girl Yun."
"Otherwise, second uncle, who do you think you are?"
"There's no one around. Sit down." The second uncle took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath. Seeing that no one else was around, the second uncle stopped paying attention to his appearance and leaned back on the chair as if he was paralyzed.
"Second uncle has already told me that tomorrow we will ask Song Liang to select a location. It will only take half a year for the hotel to be built. If you work overtime on the decoration, the hotel will be open in less than a year. Do you have anything to do then?
Just run to the hotel. If you can't live in the rented house, you'll stay in the hotel. I'll let Song Liang decorate a separate room on the top floor according to your preference."
Because I had to establish a church, I definitely couldn't live on campus. My second uncle was always worried that I wouldn't be able to eat well or sleep well outside. During this time, I was so worried that my hair was getting even thinner, and I was going to be completely bald soon.
"Second uncle, I'm an adult now, so I don't need to bother myself. I can do it myself. Besides, Brother Song Liang's son is only one year old, so don't torment him."
"I didn't bother you. Brother Song Liang did it voluntarily." The second uncle put the cigarette butt into the ashtray, stood up and lifted his trousers, "Let's go downstairs to eat."
This meal, all of us were there.
Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang, Aunt Han Shuqi, second uncle Song Liang, the five of us, Uncle Qian, Aunt Lu, and Ni'er, who is about to go to junior high school, are all here too.
Everyone enjoyed the meal happily, changing glasses and changing glasses. Firstly, it was to celebrate that we have all grown up and have our own futures.
Secondly, it was inconvenient for Aunt Lu to live with Nier in the countryside. Nier also had to go to junior high school, so the second uncle found an accountant job at Yunlu Hotel to help Aunt Lu.
Finally, the second uncle asked the vice president of the main store to come over, take a family photo for all of us, wash it out without stopping, and send it to everyone, and the meal ended.
Because I didn’t want the parents to be sad again, I decided to leave on the same day as Chen Xi and Han Ziqi.
Lulu and Fang Zhongyu came to the airport to see the three of us off.
The five of us unanimously took the amulet that Han Ziqi had asked for back then with us.
"Four years later, we will reunite here." Han Ziqi held the amulet. He was rarely so excited, and his eyelashes were trembling.
Just like when we were in the hospital for the first time and found out I had snake eyes, the five of us put our hands together and made the second vow after "grow up together".
