On the first day of the new year, old classmates began to take turns visiting their homes to pay New Year greetings. When they found out that Tielin was back, a classmate banquet was held. Today he invited her to the next day. The two brothers drank like crazy every day.
At first, Erniu still participated, but later she stopped going. She stayed at home with my mother and allowed Tielin to relax.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and early in the morning, the Tie family began to make preparations to attend the wedding of Chu Qiong and Tang Sihai.
Tiejun and Tielin had one more scene. Haitang also got married today. They had a wedding banquet at the hotel and the formal ceremony was held back at Gao Gan's house in Jiangxi.
Tie Jun was dressed neatly and stood at the door waiting for Tielin. Tielin deliberately dilly-dallyed, and Tie Jun knew that he didn't want to go.
While drinking with my classmates, the most talked about thing was about Haitang marrying Gao Gan while pregnant with someone else's child. There was nothing nice to say about it, and not many people could go.
Sure enough, Tielin handed over the red envelope and said with a sigh: "Brother, please represent me. I can't say anything nice despite my bad temper, so I'd better stop causing trouble to others!"
"If you don't want to go, don't go. I won't eat there either. I'll come find you after the ceremony!"
Tie Jun did not dissuade his younger brother, but took the red envelope, which had the names of Tie Lin and Er Niu written on it. It was probably only 200 yuan, which was quite a lot in these years.
After driving the Crown Crown, Tie Jun drove slowly towards the hotel. On the way, he saw a stall selling Yuanxiao. The queue was quite long and the business was really good.
I remembered that in my previous life, when I was married to Haitang, Haitang also set up a Lantern Festival stall, but she didn’t sell much and she only had quarrels with customers.
Shaking his head, he stepped on the accelerator and left all the bitter memories behind. After today, he probably would never see his wife from his previous life again.
After arriving at the hotel, he parked his car and Tie Jun walked up the steps. The door suddenly opened and Haiyan came up to him with a slightly bulging belly, her eyes a little red.
"Hi, old classmate, happy New Year!"
Haitang spoke first, but before he finished speaking, Gao Gan also walked out. His hair was dyed, and his temples were no longer gray. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he really looked like a high-ranking official.
"Tie Jun, old classmate! We haven't seen each other for a while, but looking at your style, you are doing well!"
Gao Gan greeted me in a very sophisticated manner, with the tone of an old society person.
"Yeah, I haven't seen each other since graduation. Gao Gan and Haitang. I wish you two a long life together and happiness forever!"
Tie Jun shook hands with Gao Gan and sent his blessings from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you old classmate!"
The couple seemed to be in sync, and Tie Jun quickly took out two red envelopes and handed them to Haitang.
"Tie Lin was helping Second Sister Chu Yao and couldn't get away, so he asked me to bring the red envelope!"
Tie Jun explained, Haitang smiled, said thank you, and handed it back to her sister Haiyan behind her.
When he walked into the hotel, there were several tables playing mahjong. Tie Jun saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law in his previous life. They were still so addicted to gambling. Each person had a mahjong table and everyone played their own thing.
Not seeing a single classmate, Tie Jun knew why Haitang's eyes were red when he saw them. Alas, I hope Haitang can change after getting married and stop doing this.
Someone called Gao Gan. She was a middle-aged woman. Judging by her dress and appearance, she looked a bit similar to Gao Gan. She should be his mother.
"Haitang, you sit with Tie Jun for a while. The old lady probably lost all her money again. I'll go over and take a look!"
Haitang said nothing, nodded, led Tie Jun to sit near an empty table, picked up the cigarettes on the plate and handed one to Tie Jun.
"Thanks!"
Tie Jun took it, and Haitang reached out with a match. Tie Jun felt a little sad. After living together for more than 20 years, she never lit a cigarette for herself.
"Is Chu Yao still adapting to London?"
Haitang asked about Chu Yao immediately. It seemed that in her heart, Chu Yao had always been the best sister.
"You don't know that she can adapt to wherever she goes. It's a pity that she couldn't send you to Jiangxi!"
"What's the regret? When you get married, I'll bring the baby to the wedding banquet, haha!"
Haitang patted her belly gently, and Tie Jun was speechless. Inside was the unfilial son he had raised for more than 20 years.
After chatting awkwardly for a while, Tie Jun saw Gao Gan sitting on the mahjong table. Tie Jun felt that he was redundant and stood up to leave.
"Begonia, I'm so sorry..."
"Hey, we are all old classmates, why are you embarrassed? I am very happy that you can come! Go ahead and help me bring this to my second sister!"
Haitang interrupted Tie Jun, took out a red envelope from the pocket of the red suit skirt and handed it to Tie Jun.
"Well, thank you for my second sister!"
"Second sister, it must be lively there. Look at me, haha, it's so deserted!"
Haitang laughed at herself and walked out. Tie Jun followed silently, suddenly not knowing what to say.
After leaving the gate, Tie Jun turned around and said, "Begonia, you must take good care of yourself when you marry so far away!"
"Don't worry, I will do it, not only for myself but also for the little one in my belly!"
Haitang smiled, a little sad, and Tie Jun felt very uncomfortable. He turned around and walked down the steps, never daring to look back.
"Oh, Chu Yao's fate is so good. She really made the right bet. Tie Jun is indeed a good man!"
Watching the crown go away, Haitang sighed, remembering Chu Yao's words back then, and had mixed feelings in her heart.
It was almost two o'clock when Tie Jun returned home after attending Chu Qiong's wedding. The whole family went to take a lunch break, and Tie Jun made an international long distance call to Lina.
I had already spoken to Lina before and told her about going to Myanmar. Lina’s official price was 1 million rubles per person.
Tie Jun agreed immediately. This was exactly what he wanted. Don't take advantage of anything that can be solved with money.
The call was connected, and after a two-second delay, Linna's voice came, speaking Northeastern Mandarin taught by Tie Jun.
"Hello old man, are you back from dinner?"
"Hello Lina, I just came back. How are you doing there? When will you come out? How many people will you have? What do you need me to prepare?"
Tie Jun thought it was troublesome to wait and talk, so he asked all the questions he cared about in one breath.
"I will go there by myself, and two partners from Thailand will go directly to Myanmar. There is no need to prepare anything. They are all ready. I will arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow."
The negotiation was quickly concluded, Tie Jun hung up the phone and immediately called Tie Biao. The call was connected, and Sister Taohua's voice came from the phone.
"Sister Taohua? Where is my brother?"
"I went to Myanmar, when will you come?"
"Well... within a week!"
"Okay, call ahead so I can pick you up. How many people are there?"
"Two, the female instructor Lina I met in Russia!"
"Female? Does Chu Yao know?"
Sister Taohua's tone suddenly increased several degrees, and Tie Jun shrank his neck.
"She knew earlier, sister, could you not be so surprised? That is my instructor, that is, my teacher!"
"Teacher, what's wrong? Teachers and students are in love. Let's talk about it when you get here. I'm dead!"
"Dudududu..."
Tie Jun held the phone and smiled bitterly. Let's talk about it later. He didn't do anything, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
I hung up the phone, lay down and thought for a while, then felt sleepy, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
