For a moment, the five people in the box looked at each other in a strange atmosphere.
Zhou Chen was the first to say: "As a newcomer who has just joined the team, I definitely don't know you as well as Cheng Yaya. Cheng Yaya and you grew up together and know each other well. Moreover, you often go out to compete and travel far away, so Cheng Yaya
Yaya is the most suitable to be the leader of this team."
Cheng Yaya immediately retorted: "Going to Xiangjiang is not about understanding each other, but having a plan. Brother Chen, you are smart, witty, mature, calm and decisive, and have the air of a general. You are the one who leads our group, no, it is you
The perfect choice for the group.”
A series of flattery shots were taken, and he also took off his clothes.
Cheng Miaomiao slapped her hand on the table: "Cheng Yaya, what do you mean? I have already told you that we are a group of five. If you dare to back down, don't blame me for being ruthless. You will never have a peaceful life in the future."
Li Si, on the other hand, was playing red face and said emotionally: "Yaya, how do you usually treat me? Now that I'm in trouble, you have to help me. Can't you bear to see me being beaten to death?"
"But, you don't need to run so far, go to Xiangjiang. Do you know how far is Xiangjiang?"
Cheng Yaya looked helpless. Although she was used to these people having their own thoughts, going to Xiangjiang was not a trivial matter, and it was not of the same nature as the previous petty quarrels.
Cheng Miaomiao said: "It is because Hong Kong is far away that we show our determination, not to mention that this is a once-in-a-century event. Think about it, on the day when Hong Kong returns, we are standing at the crossroads of Hong Kong Central
, watching the national flag rise, as a patriot, that is such a meaningful thing."
Cheng Yaya was very surprised to hear that Cheng Miaomiao could actually say such things, but no matter how fancy they said, he still didn't want to follow them in their nonsense.
"Sister, Brother Si, I still feel that you don't need me. Brother Chen's presence is enough, so I refuse. I won't be able to enjoy this table of food. I'm going home first."
After saying that, he immediately stood up and left the box, leaving behind a very unhappy Cheng Miaomiao.
Cheng Miaomiao was furious: "I really misjudged this Cheng Yaya. He is not loyal at all."
The next moment, she looked at Zhou Chen.
"Cheng Yaya is gone, Zhou Chen, we can only rely on you."
Li Si and Hu Qiumin nodded at the same time. Although the three of them were capable of tossing, they still had self-awareness. They could usually do small things, run away from home, etc. But for such a big event as going to Xiangjiang, they knew that if no one
If they can take the lead, they will definitely not be able to do so.
Zhou Chen shook his head decisively: "I've never been to such a far place, so I can't trust you, so you'd better think of a way to convince Cheng Yaya."
Going to Xiangjiang is very simple for him, but he just wants to have fun, so how can he be willing to be the leader and worry so much.
Cheng Miaomiao said dissatisfied: "Without him, Cheng Yaya, wouldn't we be able to accomplish anything?"
Li Si and Hu Qiumin both lamented, but Zhou Chen didn't care what they were thinking, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
"You shouldn't be asked to be the team leader. You can eat food very quickly."
Zhou Chen said calmly: "The biggest thing in life is to fill your stomach. We can discuss the trip to Xiangjiang slowly, but we can't delay eating. Li Si, your food is really good. Let's eat together."
After Zhou Chen said this and saw Zhou Chen eating big mouthfuls, Cheng Miaomiao and the others immediately turned their grief and anger into appetite and started grabbing the food.
After dinner, on the way back, seeing Cheng Miaomiao and the others still looking melancholy and regretful, Zhou Chen gave them an idea.
"Miaomiao, actually it is not difficult to get your brother to participate."
Cheng Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Zhou Chen hopefully: "Zhou Chen, what do you have in mind?"
"It's very simple. Cheng Yaya is a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. If you want him to participate, you will keep on teasing you and pretending to be pitiful after you go back. He will never be able to handle it, and he will definitely agree to you when the time comes.
"
"ah?"
Cheng Miaomiao was a little embarrassed, but thinking about being able to go to Xiangjiang, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll go back and give it a try."
Li Si and Hu Qiumin both held Cheng Miaomiao's hands.
"Miaomiao, it's up to you whether we can go to Xiangjiang or not."
At this moment, Cheng Miaomiao felt a strong sense of mission, and she secretly made a decision in her heart to successfully convince Cheng Yaya.
Sure enough, with Zhou Chen's advice, it only took Cheng Miaomiao one night to convince Cheng Yaya, and the next day, the five-person group gathered outside the greenhouse.
Cheng Yaya spent one night planning the route to Xiangjiang, and then stood in front of the blackboard and explained it to several people.
"Linchuan Railway Station is the nearest railway station to us, so we first take a minibus to... and finally arrive at Shenzhen City. The whole journey takes 38 hours and 15 minutes. Finally, we exit from Shenzhen City and arrive at
Xiangjiang…”
"We also need to bring our household registration book..."
Cheng Yaya did a very good job with his homework. From the route to the train numbers to the information that needed to be prepared, he conducted detailed research on everything. If he followed his preparations, he could indeed reach Xiangjiang.
The household registration book is actually not a difficult thing. It can be obtained relatively easily with snacks. Several people showed their talents and got the household registration book.
After receiving the household registration book, they made an appointment to meet in the flower room to discuss the next plan. Cheng Miaomiao and others came, but Zhou Chen did not come.
"Where is Zhou Chen? He won't regret it, right?"
Hu Qiumin said: "No, Zhou Chen's aunt is sick today. He is cooking at home and will come over later."
Cheng Miaomiao clicked her tongue and said, "Look at Zhou Chen, he can cook for himself. Look at you, Cheng Yaya, Li Si, who of you can cook?"
Li Si said nonchalantly: "Why should I learn to cook? We have a restaurant at home."
Cheng Yaya said angrily: "You still have the nerve to accuse us? You are still a girl, can you do it yourself?"
Cheng Miaomiao said dissatisfied: "Who stipulates that girls must be able to cook? Xiao Min can't do it either, right?"
Hu Qiumin whispered: "I can cook noodles and porridge."
Seeing a few people chatting about cooking, Cheng Yaya clapped her hands quickly.
"Let's talk about business, let's talk about business."
"Now that we have obtained our household registration, the next step, in addition to funds, is that the most important thing is that we go to Shenzhen City and Xiangjiang. All the people there speak Cantonese. Can you speak Cantonese? Do you understand Cantonese?
Do you know anything about Xiangjiang?"
After asking three times in a row, all I got was three little ones shaking their heads at the same time.
"So, the next thing we have to do is learn Cantonese."
"Yes, yes, I don't speak Cantonese. When I go to Xiangjiang, we won't understand what others say."
Cheng Miaomiao and the other three are inexperienced and have no independent opinions. They will do whatever Cheng Yaya says.
So the four of them stood up and prepared to go to the video hall to watch Xiangjiang movies and learn Cantonese.
After watching a Hong Kong movie for a whole day, the four of them were so dizzy that they only focused on watching the plot and completely forgot about learning Cantonese. The whole day passed by again.
Early this morning, Li Si called several people and asked everyone to gather at his house.
When Zhou Chen arrived, the four of them had already started watching movies, and they were all in Cantonese.
"Pretty boy, you are too slow. We are all going to Xiangjiang. You are still so careless. We have been studying for a long time. If you can't learn Cantonese, don't expect us to teach you by then."
Li Si said "handsome boy" when he opened his mouth. After watching it all day yesterday, he was also called "handsome boy and pretty girl" and I remembered him most clearly.
Zhou Chen walked over, sat on the sofa, and said softly.
"I won't learn Cantonese. I'll let you learn it."
"What do you mean? If you don't learn, what will you do if you go to Xiangjiang?"
"Because I can speak Cantonese."
"Can you speak Cantonese?"
Li Si and the four others looked surprised.
"No, you're not a native of Oil City, and you've never been to the south. How can you speak Cantonese?"
Zhou Chen said: "Didn't I say that I am a genius, I only speak Cantonese. I watched a few Cantonese movies and listened to a few Cantonese songs, and I almost learned it."
"Really or not, please don't fool us?" Li Si and the four of them all looked suspicious.
Zhou Chen didn't bother with them and went straight to the practical stuff.
"It's nine o'clock at IKEA. Have you eaten yet?"
"??"
Li Si and the four others looked confused. Zhou Chen spoke too quickly and they didn't understand at all.
Cheng Yaya hesitated and said: "I only understand nine o'clock, and your last sentence, does it mean eating?"
Zhou Chen explained: "It's past nine o'clock now, have you had dinner?"
"It's really Cantonese, Zhou Chen. You can actually speak Cantonese. It's so amazing."
Cheng Miaomiao jumped up excitedly, sat directly next to Zhou Chen, grabbed Zhou Chen's neck, and shouted excitedly.
When Li Si saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Cheng Miaomiao away from Zhou Chen.
"Cheng Miaomiao, can you be more ladylike?"
"My lady, you are big, but we are good brothers."
Cheng Miaomiao scolded Li Si, and then said excitedly: "Great, Zhou Chen can speak Cantonese, so we don't have to continue watching movies to learn Cantonese? It's enough if he can speak it alone, and then we will all follow him
Him, let him be the translator."
Her words were unanimously approved by everyone. Even Cheng Yaya did not object. He had been having a headache learning Cantonese in the past two days.
Zhou Chen asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will sell all four of you by then?"
Cheng Miaomiao said confidently: "You can't. Although we have only known each other for a month, I know you. You are the most loyal person. We are the best friends. You will not betray anyone."
Might betray us."
"Uh-huh."
Li Si and Hu Qiumin nodded in agreement, while Cheng Yaya smiled and said nothing, obviously not worried.
Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "If you're not afraid, then it's no problem."
Cheng Yaya clapped her hands: "The problem of Cantonese has been solved, and now the biggest problem remains, funds. We have scraped together a lot in the past two days, but it is only enough for round trip expenses. We will definitely need to eat, drink and buy things when we go to Xiangjiang.
, it’s impossible to leave empty-handed, so we have to find ways to get more money.”
Li Si had a bitter look on his face and glanced around his house.
"I have almost sold out my dad's cigarettes and alcohol, and I really don't know where to make money."
Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin also shook their heads. They were both students, and their families were not as rich as Li Si. The money given by their parents was limited, so they didn't have much savings at all. Most of their current money was given to Li Si.
contributed.
Zhou Chen calmly took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and slapped it on the table, instantly attracting the attention of several people.
Cheng Miaomiao, with quick eyes and quick hands, took it over and started lighting it quickly.
"One hundred, two hundred..., one thousand three, Zhou Chen, where did you get so much money?"
"My lord gave it to me."
"Your uncle and aunt are too kind to you, right? They give you so much money? Li Si doesn't even get this kind of treatment."
Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun gave Zhou Chen among the thirteen and six hundred. These two people were afraid of treating Zhou Chen badly. Today he gave one hundred and she gave one hundred tomorrow. They gave eight hundred in one month.
Zhou Chen only spent more than a hundred yuan this month. As for the remaining hundreds, he and Li Si went to the game hall and won from the small casino.
"Brother Chen's one thousand and three dollars should be enough for the tour group, but we can't spend money randomly after we go to Xiangjiang, otherwise the money will not be used."
After getting Zhou Chen's consent, Cheng Yaya collected the money, and everyone's money was placed with him.
Hu Qiumin said: "We went to Shenzhen City. My brother can give me some money and bring it all with me."
"Also, I heard that it is best to use Hong Kong dollars over there in Hong Kong, so we will have to find someone to change the money then..."
Cheng Yaya is indeed a well-planned person. She even thought about exchanging money and took lots of notes.
Li Si remained silent, thoughtful, still thinking about ways to get money.
Another day passed, on June 27th, the five-person group was fully prepared. After everyone went to work, they packed their bags, faced the rising sun, and headed straight for their dream road to Xiangjiang.
Cheng Miaomiao and the four of them were carrying large and small bags, but they saw that Zhou Chen was only carrying a shoulder bag with his hands in his pockets.
"Zhou Chen, this is all you bring?"
"It's just a trip, there's nothing else to do. Why bring so many things? You can buy whatever you need on the way."
"But our funds are limited, so we need to save money."
"No need for those."
Zhou Chen took out several hundred yuan from his pocket as if by magic, which made the four people's eyes widen.
"No, where did you get so much money?"
"You don't have to worry too much about this. Anyway, we came to the right place. Let's go quickly. It's time soon."
"Yes, yes, hurry up and leave."
The five-person group ran all the way to the bus station. After hearing that there was a bus bound for Linchuan Railway Station, the five people immediately got on the bus with the crowd and sat in the first and second rows at the back.
After getting on the bus, Cheng Miaomiao and the four of them looked excited and full of excitement, as if they were embarking on the road to their dreams.
"Brother Chen, why don't you look so happy?"
Cheng Yaya observed more carefully and saw Zhou Chen sitting next to him. He didn't seem to show how happy or excited he was, so he asked in confusion.
"I just think, don't be happy too early. Let's wait until we arrive in Xiangjiang and then be happy again."
"Hey, Zhou Chen, what's the matter with you? You're so disappointed at such a happy moment."
Cheng Miaomiao, who was in the front row, turned her head and muttered dissatisfiedly, and then listened to the song with Hu Qiumin.
As the bus started and left the oil field base, Cheng Miaomiao and the others became even more excited. They seemed to have seen the intersection of Xiangjiang Central.
Halfway through the journey, Li Si's expression suddenly changed. Cheng Yaya asked with concern: "Brother Si, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Li Si said eagerly: "I want to go to the toilet." His legs kept shaking in his anxiety.
Cheng Yaya advised: "Just be patient for now, we are almost at the train station."
"But I can't help it anymore."
As he said that, he immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Master driver, master, please stop by the tree in front of you."
The driver was very considerate and actually stopped the car to let Li Si use the toilet. After the car stopped, Li Si quickly got out of the car and rushed downstairs to use the toilet.
Zhou Chen knew that the famous scene was coming, so he lay in front of the window and looked at Li Si below who was about to pee.
Sure enough, after a while, Li Si suddenly let out a horrific scream.
"ah!!!"
The sound was so loud that everyone on the bus heard it, and everyone looked curiously at the place where Li Si peed.
At this time, Li Si also put on a performance that shocked the world.
I saw him at the foot of the hillside, holding his pants in one hand, waving hard with the other, and wailing and cursing loudly. Even from a distance, you could still see his white thighs and his extremely embarrassed figure.
He swung hard and wanted to run in the direction of the bus, but he was stung and ran around everywhere. His head was dizzy and he couldn't tell the direction at all.
This strange scene really confused the passengers in the bus.
Hu Qiumin pointed at Li Si with a look of astonishment.
"Li Si, what is he doing?"
Cheng Miaomiao and Cheng Yaya both shook their heads in confusion. They didn't understand what Li Si was doing.
"He was stung by a wasp," Zhou Chen said.
"Ah? You can see it from so far away?"
"Good eyesight."
Cheng Yaya asked: "Are we going to rescue Brother Si?"
Zhou Chen said: "If you are not afraid of being stung by wasps, then go save him."
The three of them shook their heads without hesitation, without any sense of brotherhood. It didn't matter who the wasp was, and they didn't want to join in the fun and get stung by the wasp.
Li Si fought fiercely with the wasp for several minutes before finally escaping from the clutches. However, in this short period of time, he had been stung many times. His face was red and swollen, and he looked very serious. His whole body collapsed on the ground.
Li Si was in such a state that he could no longer travel further. The bus driver was also afraid of trouble and asked the conductor to directly pay back half of the fare to Zhou Chen and the others, then left the five of them on the road and drove away.
On the side of the road, a group of five people were sitting on the side of the road, waiting for passing cars.
The summer wind blows gently, and the cicadas chirping in the grass are like a moving piece of music, making people feel the enthusiasm and vitality of summer.
But at this time, Cheng Miaomiao could not feel any enthusiasm or vitality. She sat on the ground, twisted her body vigorously, and burst into tears with grief.
"Wow ah ah... How did it become like this? We are so unlucky. How did it become like this? Wuwu..."
