The journey from Baling City to my hometown is not long.
In less than an hour, Xu Chuan returned home.
When the car drove to the front of the house, Xu's mother heard the noise and quickly came out.
Xu Chuan opened the car door and walked out, and immediately saw his mother standing at the door looking over.
"Mom, I'm back." Xu Chuan shouted with a hint of excitement and trembling in his voice. We haven't seen her for half a year, so it would be a lie to say that I don't miss her.
Xu's mother walked over quickly and looked her up and down: "I hope you're back safely."
Inside the house, Xu Xiao, who heard the commotion, quickly ran out and shouted happily: "Brother, I thought you would have to wait until New Year's Eve to come back!"
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "How was your final exam score?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiao pouted and said, "Brother! You don't care about my life or not. You ask about my grades as soon as I come back. Are you so unsure of your sister?"
Xu Chuan smiled and rubbed her little head. She said her grades and other things were not bad from the last time he went to Shuimu University to see her. However, he still asked this casually. This is probably the habit of Chinese people.
Bar.
On the other side, Father Xu also walked out with an apron on, with some sawdust on his body.
"dad!"
Xu Chuan looked at it and shouted with a smile. It was a familiar scene and a familiar picture. He remembered that when he came back before, his father often made small things and sold them to support the family.
Now that his family is better off, he still has no time to relax.
However, it used to be the pressure of life, but now it is a hobby in free time. There is still a big difference between the two.
Looking at the pair of children standing together, Xu Jianguo smiled and said: "It'll be good when we come back."
After saying hello, his eyes fell on Zheng Hai beside him and asked with a smile: "Sorry for your trouble, Xiao Zheng, you are the one who sends it back every time."
Zheng Hai: "This is my job. It's no trouble."
On the side, Xu's mother said with a smile: "It's almost time for dinner, Xiao Zheng, let's have some together? It's just a matter of adding two kilos."
Zheng Hai quickly refused: "No, I won't disturb your family reunion."
Xu's father sighed: "Thank you for your hard work. I guess you won't be able to go back to celebrate the New Year this year, right?"
Zheng Hai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. In fact, I don't have anyone to accompany me."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan immediately reacted and asked with a smile: "Is your fiancée coming to accompany you?"
Zheng Hai smiled and nodded: "Well, there is reimbursement, which is actually not bad."
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "That's up to you. Just go and accompany your fiancée. You can take her everywhere and spend more time with her."
On the side, Xu's mother quickly interjected: "Xiao Zheng, please bring your fiancée here so that we can meet her. You can celebrate the New Year together at our house. This will save you the trouble of getting food."
Zheng Hai coughed and declined politely: "No, no, I have some other things to do here, so I won't disturb you for now. If Academician Xu needs it, you can call me at any time."
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Mom, his fiancée comes to spend his little life with him. It's so sweet. What's the point of joining us and disturbing their private life."
Xu's mother glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? Can we come over for a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve? Xiao Zheng is driving for you. Let's socialize with him. We can feel more at ease when you are on the road in the future."
ah."
...
The dinner was quite sumptuous and lively, and the joy of meeting again after a long separation filled the whole small home.
After hearing that he was back, villagers and neighbors came to visit him.
For these simple people in the village, they may not know the meaning behind the title of academician, but everyone knows that this is the achievement of the ancestors.
Especially when Xu Chuan and the old man stood together for a group photo at the academician selection meeting, the villagers were even more excited.
You must know that in the historical genealogy of Xujiacun, the most outstanding figure was just a scholar who emerged more than two hundred years ago, and in ancient times, Xu Chuan would have been the number one scholar.
When editing his family tree, he had to write a complete page to record his glory.
Xu Chuan smiled and smoked, answering the words of the village elders.
Not long after, another young man about his age came in from the intersection.
"Kawako! You are finally back." Seeing Xu Chuan in the crowd, the young man walked up with a smile, shouted and then said hello to other elders in the crowd.
"Brother Hou?"
Xu Chuan turned his head, glanced at the person next to him, and asked in a hesitant tone: "Why are you so fat and fat? Did you go to Africa to move bricks?"
Xu Hou chuckled and said, "I can't help it. In the past year or two, the fat on my body has been rising steadily, and I can't stop it."
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Where are you from, sister-in-law? You guys got married quite early."
Xu Hou smiled sheepishly and said, "We have caused a loss of life. If we don't get married, it will not end well."
When talking about the reason for getting married, Xu Hou also had a smile on his face.
There are not many college students in Xujiacun. He did not get a bachelor's degree. After graduating from high school, he went to a junior college. Originally, he wanted to learn skills so that it would be easier to find a job in the future. After saving some money, he could go on a blind date in his hometown.
Get a wife.
However, the path of life did not go as he expected. After entering junior college, he met a girlfriend, who was also a native of Baling. Their personalities got along well with each other and they lived together before graduation.
I thought I would go out to work for two years and save some money before getting married, but I didn't expect that the protective measures were not taken properly, and someone died.
Fortunately, both families were still supportive, so they had a meal together in the second half of the year, and after meeting in person, the marriage was finalized.
As for the wedding, before the bride shows her pregnancy and everyone comes back to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year, it will be scheduled before the end of the year.
"oh!"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan suddenly understood that it was indeed common these days to get married with a son.
Smiling, he congratulated: "Congratulations, Brother Hou, you are so lucky."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xu Houhan smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I have something to do when I get married the day after tomorrow, and I want to ask you for help."
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "If there is anything between us, just tell us."
Xu Hou scratched his head and said with a smile: "Actually, I want to ask you to be the best man."
Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, saying: "No problem."
In his generation, due to a certain policy in the early years, most of the people in the village were only children, or one son and one daughter, so the relationship between the friends in the village was quite good.
Hearing this, Xu Hou grinned and said: "Then it's settled, I'll have to worry about the best man for the wedding the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, he remembered something again and asked: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Kawako, where is your car? Let's go together tomorrow when it is not convenient for us to pick up the bride?"
Hearing this question, Xu Chuan was stunned for a second, and then smiled awkwardly: "Well, I don't seem to have a driver's license. But it's okay. Just wait a moment and I'll make a call."
Not only did he not have a driver's license, he also didn't buy a car. The cars he took when traveling were all arranged by Zheng Hai.
Taking out his mobile phone, he called Zheng Hai and asked about it. Zheng Hai said that it was no problem. Although he applied to borrow the car from Baling, it was perfectly fine to attend a wedding or pick up a relative.
After confirming the news, Xu Hou said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry to trouble you."
Listening to the conversation on the phone, he really didn't know that Xu Chuan didn't buy a car. After all, he drove a car and had a driver when he came back every year.
This also made him feel a little emotional. His childhood friend was now so tall that he couldn't even see the taillights.
The Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal, the national car and driver, and the title of academician. With such a young person, the probability of finding alien life in the Milky Way is smaller than that of being afraid of time.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's a small matter. When the time comes, I'll give my nephew or niece who I haven't met yet a big red envelope."
.......
After Xu Hou left, Xu's mother smacked her lips, looked at Xu Chuan with some envy and asked: "Chuan'er, you are among the academicians outside. Do you have a girl you like? When can you bring her back?
"
Xu Chuan coughed lightly and said, "Mom, we agreed before that we won't urge you until you are thirty."
Without saying a word, he slipped into the house.
Twenty-three years old is normally just enough to graduate from college. Although it is indeed the legal age to get married, it usually takes a few years to work hard outside.
Looking at her son's retreating figure, Xu's mother smiled and shook her head.
Although he longs to have a grandson, it is probably unlikely that his son will get married in the next few years.
Let's wait until four or five years later, until the 27th or 20th century, and come back to remind me.
As for now, if he wants to concentrate on research, let him go.
