On the way back, Xu Hongdou played with her phone. When passing by Erhai Lake, she turned on her camera and started recording.
"Family, my cell phone has been repaired and we are on our way back now. Look, here is the Erhai Lake. The afternoon sun shines on the water, making the waves sparkle. In the distance is Cangshan Mountain. How majestic it is. There is still some snow on the mountain.
But I can’t see it clearly in the video.”
Zhou Chen said a little funny: "Why do I feel like you are reciting the text?"
Xu Hongdou slowly turned the phone around, pointed the camera at Zhou Chen, and introduced: "This is my next door neighbor in the small courtyard, Zhou Chen. He is handsome and very enthusiastic. He drove me there specially.
The one with the cell phone.”
Zhou Chen turned his head and showed a smile in front of the camera, then looked ahead and continued driving.
"Xu Hongdou, you praise me in front of me. To be honest, I'm really not used to it."
"I'm not complimenting you, I'm just telling the truth."
"Do you want to send this video out?"
"No, it was sent to the family group."
"Oh, that's it. Then I have to introduce myself. Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Chen. I am thirty-two years old and I am from Shanghai. I am in good health and work smoothly. I have no bad habits. I like painting, singing, and playing games.
basketball……"
Xu Hongdou quickly stopped: "Stop, stop, what you said is like introducing yourself on a blind date."
As she spoke, she turned the phone forward.
"The wind is really strong today, we are going back now, so I won't say more, bye."
After recording the video, she sent it directly to her family group.
"Done!"
After sending it, she put the phone aside and stretched.
Zhou Chen opened the panoramic sunroof on the roof of the car. Xu Hongdou's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he stretched his hands out of the window and shouted loudly.
"Ah! It's so comfortable!"
"Just feel comfortable. When you travel, you just want to make yourself comfortable. If you have anything you want to say, just shout it out. If you have any sadness, just let the wind blow it away."
Looking at the happy Xu Hongdou, Zhou Chen also smiled unconsciously. Xu Hongdou has been here for a long time. Although Xu Hongdou usually looks cheerful, in fact, he is more forced to smile and cover it up with a smile.
own sadness.
At this moment, she let herself go, cheered and released her emotions.
Perhaps because she was really relaxed, Xu Hongdou unbuckled her seat belt, stood up, and stuck her head out of the sunroof.
"Chen Nanxing, are you okay? I'm very happy now, you don't have to worry about me."
Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately slowed down the car and said at the same time: "Hey, Xu Hongdou, be careful."
Xu Hongdou was still rational. After venting her anger, she sat down and fastened her seat belt again.
"I shouted a few words, and I felt much happier." Xu Hongdou said with a smile.
"In the city, there is no time to vent freely."
"Yes, in the city you only work and sleep. There is no time or space for you to release yourself so freely. All you have is heavy pressure."
Xu Hongdou thought about her past life. Although she earned a lot of salary, she was under too much pressure from work. It was rare for her to have a day off, and she just wanted to lie in bed and sleep. Throughout the year, she could only be happier when Chen Nanxing came to accompany her.
.
Zhou Chen advised: "Isn't it better now? Let go of work and stress. No matter what happens in the future, let these three months pass first."
Xu Hongdou nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, no matter what happens in the future, let's live these three months first. Now we just want to be happy, happy, and do whatever we want."
"Yes, do whatever you want."
…………
In the Xu family group, as soon as Xu Hongdou posted the video to the group, Xu's father, Xu's mother and sister Xu Hongmi opened it to watch it.
Looking at the scenery photographed by Xu Hongdou, Xu's father and mother both smiled, especially after hearing Xu Hongdou's voice, their smiles became even brighter.
"This kid, her cell phone has finally been repaired. I've been wanting to call her and have a video chat these days."
"I miss my daughter very much. Nowadays, it's really inconvenient not to have a mobile phone."
When they saw Xu Hongdou photographing Zhou Chen, the two people who were making dumplings stopped working and stared at the screen.
"My name is Zhou Chen. I am thirty-two years old. I am from Shanghai. I am in good health and work smoothly. I have no bad habits. I like painting, singing, and playing basketball..."
"Hey, this guy is pretty good."
When Xu's mother Liu Guiqin saw Zhou Chen on the phone, her eyes suddenly brightened a bit, and Xu's father Xu Jianguo also stretched his neck and stared at the phone.
"Let me see, Hongdou said that this boy is her neighbor, and also praised him for being handsome and enthusiastic. It seems that our family has a good sense of this young man."
"Don't tell me, this young man is really handsome, sunny and energetic."
"This is actually a bit as handsome as I was when I was young, and he also looks very strong. Unlike those who are still young now, who are obviously men, but dress up in a coquettish and sinister manner, and have no masculinity at all. When I look at this young man
That’s pretty good.”
Liu Guiqin paused the video and looked at Zhou Chen on the screen, becoming more and more satisfied with it.
"The young man is really nice. And did you hear just now? This young man is from Shanghai. He lives in the same city as our family. He is healthy and has a smooth job. He can also paint, sing, and play basketball. He is very versatile. Look at him.
Our little boy is smiling so happily, this young man must be interested in our little boy."
Xu Jianguo, who originally had a good impression of Zhou Chen, frowned when he heard this.
"You are overthinking this. People just smile politely. How can you analyze so much in your eyes?"
Liu Guiqin glared at him: "What do you know? I'm very good at reading people. Think about it, if he didn't like Dou, would he have to drive back and forth to pick him up? And the young man's voice was very familiar to him.
It must be the person who borrowed Dou's phone before, I remember his voice."
"The more you talk, the more excited you are. Why don't you just borrow a mobile phone and drive to deliver beans? You are thinking too much."
"I can't explain it to you. I'll call Mi and ask her, and ask her to pay more attention to Caring Dou. There are some things that are not appropriate for us to ask, but it's appropriate for her as a sister to ask."
After saying that, she ignored Xu Jianguo and walked to the room with her cell phone to call her eldest daughter.
"Hey, you just made a call. Why did you go to the room to call? Is there anything I can't listen to?"
Xu Hongmi was sitting in the car watching the video posted by Xu Hongdou. She was also the sister who cared about her the most, so as soon as she saw the video posted by Xu Hongdou, she opened it and watched it immediately.
Not long after reading this, I received a call from Liu Guiqin.
"Hey, Mom."
"I saw it. That man is pretty good. OK, OK, I know. I will ask her if I have time. OK, I know..."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Hongmi looked thoughtful: "It's quite a coincidence that I'm from Shanghai. It seems I have to find time to go and see it."
As soon as Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou returned to the village, they learned from Xie Zhiyao that Xie Zhiyao had run away from home.
Xu Hongdou couldn't help but look at Zhou Chen and gave him a look that said, "You guessed it right."
Zhou Chen said: "Since you ran away from home, let's help you look for him."
Xie Zhiyao shook his head and said: "Before you came back, I had searched around the village and couldn't find it. You are not familiar with this place, so leave it to me. If you can't even find me, you will be even less likely to find it.
.”
Zhou Chen patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Xie, I think Ayuan is also smart. Nothing will happen to him. He should be hiding somewhere."
Xie Zhiyao said: "I think so too. He is not a child anymore. Even if he is angry again, he will feel something in his heart. But I still feel uneasy when I can't find him."
"Then think about the friends he has here. Maybe he went to stay with his friends. Does he have any money with him?"
"He didn't have much money with him when he left, so he shouldn't have gone far. I'll go look for him again."
After Xie Zhiyao finished speaking, he was ready to look for it again, but after taking a few steps, he turned back.
"Ayuan pulled his pants, is it really not what you two said?"
Xu Hongdou said anxiously: "Of course it's not us. Zhou Chen said that in addition to the two of us, there were also Xiaohulu and the others who were at your house that day, but they hid at the time and we didn't notice."
"Little Hulu and the others, no wonder."
Xie Zhiyao suddenly realized that he actually felt that it was unlikely that Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou would tell anyone. Now that he heard that Xiao Hulu and the others were there at the time, he still didn't understand what was going on.
"These little guys."
Xu Hongdou watched Xie Zhiyao leave and asked Zhou Chen: "Can he really find Ayuan?"
"It's definitely possible. If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't be so slow and unhurried."
Zhou Chen knew that Xie Zhiyao quickly found Xie Zhiyuan in the plot, but in order to train Xie Zhiyuan, he hid it from everyone.
Just as he thought, Xie Zhiyuan found Xie Zhiyuan that night. He got the news from Xie Xiaoxia and learned that Xiaoliang was in the ancient city, so he went directly to find Xiaoliang and found that Xie Zhiyuan was really with Xiaoliang.
.
He was completely relieved when he learned that Xie Zhiyuan was fine, but he knew that his younger brother, who was thin-skinned, would definitely not be willing to go back with him at this time, so he went to Xiaoliang privately, warned him, and asked him to take good care of him.
Xie Zhiyuan, then turned around and left without disturbing Xie Zhiyuan.
A few days passed and Xie Zhiyuan still didn't come back. Xu Hongdou couldn't help it and found Zhou Chen again, wanting Zhou Chen to go with Xie Zhiyuan to ask about the situation.
"Zhou Chen, Ayuan hasn't come back yet. I think Xie A'nai is very anxious. His brother Xie Zhiyao seems to have nothing happened. Is he his biological brother?"
She saw that Grandma Xie hadn't gone out to sell anything in the past few days, sighing and worrying about her grandson, while Xie Zhiyao continued to do her work every day, neither going out to find Xie Zhiyuan nor calling the police, leaving her as an outsider.
I was anxious after seeing it, so I was very dissatisfied with Xie Zhiyao's behavior.
"Don't go. If I guessed correctly, Xie Zhiyao should have found Ayuan."
Xu Hongdou suddenly looked shocked: "Ah, found it? Why didn't you bring it back if you found it?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Do you think Ayuan dares to come back with the current situation in the village? Mr. Xie didn't bring him back. He should have determined that he is not in danger. If he wants to let him endure hardship outside, he can only understand.
Life is not easy, so he is willing to go back to study."
Xu Hongdou looked confused: "Xie Zhiyao has really been found, and he still wants to train Ayuan? How are you sure?"
Zhou Chen pointed to his eyes and said: "You can see that, after all, he is his biological brother. How could Mr.
Do you think he can still sit still? If you care, you will become confused."
"Is that really the case?"
"You will know soon. Xie Zhiyao can bear it, but Granny Xie will definitely not be able to bear it. Granny Xie will be angry soon. Mr. Xie will naturally say it then. Just wait and see.
That’s fine.”
Three days later, Xie Zhiyuan finally brought Xie Zhiyuan back. The few days Xie Zhiyuan ran away from home, he worked in a hotpot restaurant in the ancient city.
Although Xie Zhiyuan was brought back, the knot in his heart was obviously still not over, so in order to help his brother untie the knot, Xie Zhiyuan came to the courtyard specially and wanted to have a barbecue party in the courtyard. Invite Zhou Chen and the others
Help comfort Xie Zhiyuan and help Xie Zhiyuan relieve his heart knot.
Upon hearing that this was the case, everyone in the small courtyard agreed without hesitation.
In the evening, Xie Zhiyao brought Xie Xiaochun and Xie Xiaoxia to the small courtyard. A group of people got busy, set up several tables, and started cooking barbecue by themselves. Xu Hongdou, Nana and the other women were cooking in the kitchen.
After ordering some dishes, Xie Zhiyao brought a few bottles of champagne...
A group of people gathered around a round table that was not very big. Except for Xie Xiaoxia and Xie Zhiyuan who were not very happy, the rest of them were all smiling.
Xie Zhiyao even shook the champagne and shouted loudly: "A party must have a party atmosphere, look at me."
With a "bang" sound, champagne was sprayed out, and everyone cheered loudly.
"Come, come, come, put the wine glasses away, I want to pour the wine one by one."
Xie Zhiyao poured wine into all the wine glasses on the table, then sat down and raised his glass.
"Let's all have a drink first."
Everyone raised their glasses, and Xie Xiaochun suddenly said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, before we toast, let's say a few toasts, starting with me."
"I wish everyone here good health, peace and happiness, okay."
Nana followed closely: "I wish our friendship will last forever."
Then came Damai: "Wish us happiness every day."
Mr. Ma: "There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, so you can hang your sails and sail across the sea."
Hu Youyu: "I wish we all can make a fortune."
Xie Xiaoxia: "I wish everyone can be sincere and not deceive."
Xie Zhiyao: "All your wishes come true."
Zhou Chen said: "I wish we will have no regrets in every life."
"Hey, Zhou Chen, what do you mean by every life? It seems like how many lives we can live, haha."
Hu Youyu's words made everyone laugh. Ma Qiushan came to the rescue and said, "I think what Zhou Chen said is very philosophical. Who says there is no next life? Maybe how many lives can all of us live?"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone just thought it was a joke and no one took it seriously.
Only Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing. His words were a blessing to everyone as well as to himself, because he knew that he could experience many worlds and live many lives.
Finally, it was Xu Hongdou who said: "I wish our motherland prosperity."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Xiaochun immediately shouted: "Oh, the best in the whole show, the best in the show, I will give you another drink."
Everyone raised their glasses and shouted loudly: "I wish our motherland prosperity!"
