After Xiang Jin and the others left the community, they directly hailed a taxi to go to the airport. In addition, it was noon time, so even though today was the last day of the National Day holiday, there was no traffic jam on the road.
Instead, it was smooth sailing all the way, basically not even a traffic light, so it only took them about thirty minutes to arrive at Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport.
It was exactly two-thirty when he got there, which was still a full fifty minutes before his departure time of three-twenty. Even if he had gone through the security check half an hour earlier, he would still have arrived twenty minutes early.
time, so they went directly to a nearby coffee shop and bought a drink each and sat there chatting and passing the time.
Counting fifty minutes, there was still quite a while, but twenty minutes passed quickly. Yan Chen had to go through the security check. Xiang Jin and Han Che sent him to the security check entrance. Yan Chen reached out and hugged Xiang Jin.
"I'm going in?!"
"Well! Have a nice trip! Give me a call when you get there," Xiang Jin also hugged him.
"Okay!" Yan Chen let go of her, then hugged Han Che again, and said, "She is going back to school later, please help me take her back."
"Okay, when it's delivered, I'll send you a message," Han Che nodded and promised seriously, then waved to him, "Have a nice trip, and give me a call when you get there."
"Okay!" Yan Chen looked at Xiang Jin again, "Be careful on the way back."
"Yeah, I know! You go in quickly, otherwise the security check channel will be closed later," Xiang Jin nodded and waved to him.
Yan Chen turned around and went to check in. When they saw him passing through the security check and walking inside, Xiang Jin and Han Che immediately turned around and left the terminal.
Han Che raised his hand to hail a taxi, but Xiang Jin suddenly suggested, "How about we catch the airport bus over there? There is a bus over there that goes from the airport to Jing'an Temple.
Let’s take advantage of the cheaper one, because taking a taxi is too expensive.”
Han Che's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself: After earning so much money, he still pays for the taxi fare. The richer the person is, the more he picks it up. But she doesn't have to pay for the taxi fare, so why does she feel so distressed?
Son?
It's just that he couldn't say this in front of her. After all, this girl has a black heart. If he said it, she might kill him in the future!
So he said, "Yan Chen said, don't you want to go back to school?"
Xiang Jin said, "Yeah, but we can catch the bus back. We're not in a hurry anyway. Let's catch the bus from here to Jing'an Temple first, and then after we get off there, we can transfer back to school. At most, it's just one person.
Hours of time."
Han Che hesitated for a moment and then said, "Forget it, just take a taxi. Taking a taxi is fast. I promised Yan Chen that I will send you back to school safely. Since you are entrusted by others, you must be loyal to them.
Don’t worry, I’ll pay for the taxi and I’ll treat you to a seat.”
Xiang Jin rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "Am I someone who can't afford a car? I just think that if we have enough time and we don't have anything to do, we can definitely catch a car.
Take the bus, or catch a bus and sit back slowly. There is really no need to spend that wasted money.
But you're lucky, you just imagined me as a miser! Okay, that's the case, if you say take a taxi, let's take a taxi, and I'll save myself the trouble of going back and forth."
Han Che hurriedly said, "Oh, that's right, that's what I meant, but I didn't say you were a stingy person? Besides, I had to go back to school when I left."
Xiang Jin was surprised, "You're not going home?"
Han Che raised the backpack on his shoulder and said, "Didn't you see that I also had the bag on my back? I called my second uncle and told him that I wouldn't go back tonight. There are all the things in the refrigerator that we left today.
The food was packed back from the restaurant for the two of them to eat by themselves at night.”
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Jin nodded.
Han Che followed him to the roadside and hailed a taxi. Then the two of them got into the car directly. Han Che called out, "Master, please take us to Fudan University."
"Oh, okay!" the taxi driver responded and the car started.
Ten minutes later, Xiang Jin's cell phone in her bag heard a text message beep. Then she took it out and saw that it was from Yan Chen.
"I've already boarded the plane."
"Okay, we're in a taxi now. I'll send you a message when we get to school."
"good!"
Xiang Jin put away his phone and asked Han Che, "Do you have any classmates or friends here?"
Han Che shook his head, "I don't know, I don't care, and I don't understand. Actually, my relationship with the classmates in our class is only average. I'm not very familiar with them, but I recognize them all."
"Isn't it? According to your lively and outgoing personality, you should have many friends in the class or school, right?" Xiang Jin was surprised, and her eyes looked familiar no matter how she looked at him.
Han Che was unconvinced when he saw the look in her eyes, "What's that look in your eyes? I'm an extrovert, so I have to get along with a lot of people? I still have to be selective when making friends, right? Not everyone is like that.
You can be friends with me!"
"Oh, you're really out of breath when you say you're fat, look at how proud and arrogant you are?" Xiang Jin glanced at him sideways and couldn't help but start a quarrel with him.
Han Che said, "It's true. I'm not being arrogant. You also know that everyone's personality is different. Sometimes others don't look down on you, and sometimes you don't look down on others. Then you don't look down on others.
Naturally, I wouldn’t be shameless enough to approach someone who likes me, but if I don’t think much of someone who likes me, I wouldn’t be shy enough to approach someone.
And another point is that at that time, several people in our courtyard were studying in the same school, and we all played together since childhood, so after class, we all went to play with each other, and there was nothing else.
It’s time to get to know those people in the class so well.”
Xiang Jin nodded suddenly, "Oh, I understand, you actually have your own small circle."
"Oh, that's right! Because we all have been playing together since childhood, and we know each other's personalities and personalities better, so we can play together better."
"How many people were there in that school in your courtyard at that time?"
"Four, but they are all in different classes."
"Does that include Yan Chen?"
"Not included, he has not been with us since the third year of junior high school. The four I mentioned are the four in high school, and if you add him, it would be five. However, he has always been someone else's child in the eyes of our parents and family.
, because he is really excellent, excellent in all aspects, and the academic performance of us usually is not very good. Of course, I am still slightly better than them, so our parents
Our family often compared us with him, which made us depressed for a while.”
"So, how is the relationship between those people with him? Just average, or not very friendly?" Xiang Jin guessed.
He said, "How can that be possible? Although we are relatively close, the relationship between us has always been relatively friendly. The children in the courtyard are not so narrow-minded.
Furthermore, this comparison is useless. First of all, genes determine everything. He has inherited all the damn good genes. Let’s not talk about the appearance. Let’s just talk about the IQ. Yan Chen’s uncle is twenty-six.
You already graduated with a Ph.D. when you were seven years old. Are you good at reading?"
Xiang Jin was surprised, "Ah? Uncle Minghan graduated with a doctorate in his twenties? I've never heard of this."
Han Che said, "That's because they are low-key and don't bother to show off. If you look at Yan Chen's cousin, he went to college when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. He is about to graduate from graduate school now. Although his mother
He is also a doctor. His intelligence may come from both his parents, but this cannot erase the fact that his family has smart genes.
Why do I say that Yan Chen has completely inherited her excellent genes? Because Yan Chen’s mother is also very good. She graduated from college when she was a teenager. Don’t look at it, she only went to college.
Like his uncle, he continued his studies, studying for a PhD or something, but it is said that her mother has a particularly good memory.
, like many of those difficult-to-read classical Chinese texts, she only needs to read them two or three times to remember the entire content. Yan Chen’s father does not have that kind of memory, and the whole person is no different from ordinary people like us.
, you had contact with him last time, so you must know something about him."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, I do understand a little bit. Apart from the fact that Yan Chen takes after his father in appearance, I really don't feel that there is anything else in common between father and son."
Han Che concluded by saying, "Oh, that's right! So basically all of Yan Chen's excellent genes come from his mother, so it also reflects the strong genes of Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo from the side.
You see, none of the offspring born are weak.
So our family and relatives also know this. Although they always ask us to learn from Yan Chen, it is because when we are naughty and disobedient, they will bring Yan Chen to us for comparison.
I still won’t say it when I’m obedient.”
Then Xiang Jin asked, "How are they doing now? Where are they studying?"
Han Che said, "Two of them did not do very well in the exam this year. One dreams of becoming a prosecutor in the future, so he wants to study at the University of Political Science and Law. The other dreams of becoming a people's policeman, fighting crime and maintaining social security and peace.
One of me fell a little short in the college entrance examination this year, so I chose to repeat the course, while the other one went directly to join the military. I hope that I can apply for the military academy through the army in the future."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, you are still quite motivated to serve the country, huh?"
Han Che said with a proud look on his face, "That's right, the children in our compound must all be upright, no one is a coward, and they all have decent thoughts."
Xiang Jin was speechless, "Look, I'm out of breath again!"
"Hey, don't believe it. Let Yan Chen take you to meet them all and get to know them. Once you get to know them, you will know that what I say is true. When we were young, we suffered a lot from our elders, both physically and mentally.
The whipping and tempering.
Especially during the winter and summer vacations, the few of us have to be arranged by them to undergo various trainings and life experiences. Everyone is very tanned in the summer."
Xiang Jin said, "That's not right. I think Yan Chen is quite fair, and you are not dark either."
Han Che said, "As we grew older, that kind of life lasted until we were in the first grade of junior high school. Because there were so many subjects to study, everyone had to put more thought and energy into studying.
I have acquired scientific and cultural knowledge.
However, this kind of physical and spiritual life has come to an end, but Yan Chen and I were left to my second uncle and the others to learn cooking skills, but Yan Chen’s cooking skills...sigh.
.....He really doesn’t have much talent in this area, and I’m still a little more promising than him in this regard.”
Xiang Jin couldn't help laughing immediately, "Actually, your second uncle and the others' cooking skills weren't very good at that time. Just like that, what can I teach you?"
Han Che nodded, "That's true!"
After driving for a period of time, they were not far from Han Che's school. Xiang Jin said to Han Che, "You can get off directly at the gate of your school later. There is no need to send me off. I will go back by myself."
, to save you from running back and forth."
Han Che said, "That can't be done. I promised Yan Chen that I would send you back to school, so I have to send you there myself. Otherwise, how will I explain to him then?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay. Just say that I didn't let you give it to me. He won't blame you. Master, stop at Caida in front. He wants to get off there."
"Okay!" the driver responded.
Han Che said, "No, Master, please drive directly to the main entrance of Fudan University and send her back to the school first. Then you can turn around and send me back to the University of Finance and Economics."
"Okay, girl, since this young man said he'd take you back first, I'll take you back first. Anyway, it's only a few kilometers away. The fare is so high but it's not worth it."
Han Che nodded, "Oh, that's right!"
Xiang Jin had no choice but to nod in agreement, "Okay then."
After passing the University of Finance and Economics, the car quickly arrived at the gate of Xiang Jin's school. Xiang Jin got out of the car with his backpack and the bag of food, and then waved to Han Che, "Bye!"
"Bye," Han Che waved to her. After watching her enter the school, Han Che said to the driver in front of him, "Master, let's go!"
"Okay!"
As soon as Xiang Jin opened the dormitory door, she saw Lin Zi standing in the center of the dormitory, drawing a bow and shooting an arrow at a straw hanging on the wall in front of her. When she took a closer look, she was the only one in the dormitory.
So she asked aloud, "Why are you the only one in the dormitory? Are they out?"
When Lin Zi heard her voice, he turned around suddenly, and then called to her with a look of surprise, "Xiang Jin, are you back?"
"Ah, I'm back. You didn't go out to play today?" Xiang Jin nodded slightly and then asked.
Lin Zi's eyes suddenly dropped, "No, it's not fun," she said, then walked over and put the bow and arrows in her hands on her desk.
Xiang Jin opened the snack bag in his hand, then took some snacks out and handed them to her, "Hey, please have snacks!"
"Wow, you bought some snacks?" She opened one unceremoniously and started eating, "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious!"
Xiang Jin said truthfully, "I didn't buy it. My classmate came from Suzhou and brought it to me that day. She brought me a lot of their specialty snacks. I didn't finish them, so she took them directly back to school.
Yes, it’s delicious, right? I also think the food she brought me tastes pretty good, so if you like it, I’ll take some more.”
"Well, that's enough, that's enough, thank you, thank you!" Lin Zi sincerely thanked her while holding the snacks in his hands.
Xiang Jin said, "You're welcome!"
After Lin Zi took a bite of the food in her hand, she hurriedly turned to open her locker, and then took out two things from it and gave them to Xiang Jin, both of which were a gray stuffed rabbit ornament.
There are also several bags with large capacity printed on them.
Xiang Jin looked at the thing in his hand and asked her what it was with his eyes.
Lin Zi understood it and immediately explained to her, "I think this plush long-eared bunny is very cute, so I bought one for you and one for myself. We will hang this on our backpack.
It's absolutely beautiful.
These thick bags are storage bags that can hold clothes and quilts. They are waterproof, moisture-proof and dust-proof. When we go on summer and winter vacation, the quilts and mattresses on the bed need to be put away. We
You can use this to install it, which is not only neat but also saves trouble and convenience, so when we went back to Yiwu, we picked a few there.
But each of us has different colors. Mine is light green, yours is light blue, one of them is red and the other is pink.
I bought you two extra large ones, two large ones, and two medium ones. The extra large and large ones can be used to hold quilts, and the medium one can be used to hold clothes.
I heard that the extra-large one can hold three beds of large-sized cotton batting weighing two meters by two meters three and weighing eight kilograms at one time. The medium-sized one can directly hold three beds of five kilograms of cotton batting of the same size.
, the medium-sized one can hold at least twenty pieces of clothes and trousers in it. If you don’t use them all, you can take them home and use them. I bought thirty pieces for my parents over there and mailed them back."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, you can do this. Even if those clothes, pants, and sheets and quilt covers are kept in the cabinet for a long time, they will be easily contaminated by dust if they are kept for a long time. But
Once you have this, you don’t have to worry anymore. It has a thick layer of non-woven fabric on the inside and a layer of plastic film on the outside.”
Lin Zi nodded, "Exactly!"
Then Xiang Jin asked, "I wonder where I can buy it here?"
Lin Zi said, "There should be, it's just that we don't know, but the price here must be higher than the one over there, because there is a wholesale city for small commodities over there.
It is said that there are 500,000 small commodities in the world, of which 320,000 are shipped from our mission in China. Ninety percent of the small commodities in shopping malls and stores in Shanghai are originally
The above are all imported from there.
The clothes, accessories, and these small items over there are so cheap, so cheap, beyond your imagination. The stuffed bunny I brought you only costs more than one yuan.
, the largest one of these storage bags only costs more than two yuan, and the smallest one only costs one yuan and fifty cents."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I've also heard that things are sold very cheap there. You can go there if you have a chance in the future."
Lin Zi nodded, "Well, you can really go there. The things there are so cheap. It can save us a lot of money. I bought a lot of things this time and mailed them back."
A big box of stuff costs just over a hundred yuan, which is a great deal!"
"Well, thank you, though?" Xiang Jin walked to her locker and put her things there.
Lin Zi waved his hand nonchalantly, "Hey, you're welcome, it's not even worth a few dollars."
After Xiang Jin locked the locker again, he asked, "How many days did you stay there this time?"
Lin Zi's expression suddenly became a little subtle, "Three and a half days, it was the afternoon before the day you brought your classmates back to school to see them. If I hadn't wanted to come back, both of them would still have wanted to be there.
I'll stay until I take my leave and then come back."
"What's wrong? From the look on your face, you don't seem to be having much fun over there?" Xiang Jin asked.
Lin Zi said, "I have never seen anyone who likes to take advantage so much. At the beginning, I said that I would pay for the accommodation, living and food expenses for the trip there, as well as the round-trip transportation expenses, and I also paid for it.
Those who fulfilled the promise are not unhappy, but I didn’t promise that even the things they bought themselves would be borne by me, right?”
"Why, did they ask you to pay for the things they bought?"
Lin Zi still looked a little unhappy, "Isn't it? The first day was better. After all, it still took us most of the day to get from here to there. It was a little sunny in the afternoon, and then
We found a hotel and settled down first, and then after dinner, we all went out for a while. The next day we started to officially go shopping.
Because there were so many dazzling things there, they wanted to buy this and that. At the beginning, they spent their own money to buy a few small things.
But later, when she saw what she wanted more, Luo Caiyi said that she didn't have much money. If she bought something, she would probably have no money for her living expenses this month, so she begged her to help her pay for it.
Money, I thought about it, we all live in the same dormitory, and her situation is really not that good, so I agreed.
After Wanjuan saw that I paid Luo Caiyi, she later found a reason to ask me to help her pay. I thought that we all came out together, and we couldn't favor one over the other, so I agreed to help her.
I paid for several things.
Unexpectedly, when we got to the back, the two of them regarded me as their cash machine. If they liked something, they would take it and tell the boss that if I paid, the other boss would have to come to me.
They asked for money, and when I rushed to the next place, they had selected things there and were waiting for me to pay.
This is not what makes me the most angry. Do you know how stingy and selfish the two of them are? On the 3rd, everyone walked around for a long time under the sun. Then I went to find a place to go to the bathroom, and when I came out, the two of them
Each person held a cup of the frozen sour plum soup and drank it there, but neither of them thought of bringing me a cup.
I was not very happy afterwards. You said that I paid at least more than 100 yuan for the two of them. Plus the travel expenses for those few days, as well as accommodation and food expenses, then one person is still
There are more than 300 yuan. It’s so much, but it’s not even worth their cup of frozen sour plum soup. Thinking about it makes me feel chilly.
So later on, I just told them that I had no money. Then on the 4th, they went out for shopping again and I didn’t follow them. I just slept in the hotel, and then when they came back at noon, I told them directly.
I'm coming back.
The two of them kept asking me why. I said that I didn't have any money to stay in a hotel. They were a little unhappy, but they were reluctant to let them spend their own money to travel there, so they had to follow me in the end.
Came back together.
I have noticed that no matter how nice you are to some people, they may not accept your kindness, be grateful to you, and even take your efforts as a matter of course."
Xiang Jin reached out and patted her shoulder, and joked, "They think you are rich, so even if you have a little money, you should be worthless!"
Lin Zi was a little unconvinced and said, "I have money, and that's because I'm willing to let others use it. I don't want them to take advantage of me. They really think of me as a fool. I think we should become friends."
, First of all, everyone must be sincere. If I am sincere to you, but you plot against me, then you will definitely not be friends."
Xiang Jin nodded and agreed, "You're right, feelings are not necessarily a material reciprocal relationship, nor is it necessarily a matter of who pays more and who pays less, but it must be that I regard you as a friend.
You should also treat me as a friend, so that’s why the two of them went out to play today, but you stayed alone in the dormitory? "
Lin Zi said, "Yeah, it's not interesting to go shopping alone, and it's also hot. Let's go shopping together on the weekends?"
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, but I don't have time all the time."
Lin Zi said, "It's okay, it's okay. Let's go out together when you have time."
"good!"
"Is your boyfriend back?" Lin Zi asked again.
Xiang Jin nodded slightly, "Well, they have classes tomorrow, and they have a whole day of classes scheduled."
But at this moment, Xiang Jin's brother Ouyang Bo's call came in, so she said to Lin Zi, "Should I answer the phone first?"
"Oh, good!"
"Hello, brother?!" Xiang Jin walked aside to answer the phone.
"Hey, Xiaojin, have you returned to school?" Ouyang Bo's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xiang Jin said, "I'm back. What about you, where are you now?"
Ouyang Bo said, "I'm at school. Alas, let me tell you something. My house has been rented out. The housing agency called me in the morning and told me about it."
Xiang Jin was surprised for a moment, "Really? So fast? It's only been a few days since I rented it at that agency. What's the price? Who rented it? Did the agency tell you?
When I rented the house for you, I mentioned our request to the other party, which is that it must be rented to those who love cleanliness and take good care of the house. Otherwise, the rent will not be collected much, and the house will be renovated in the end.
Is it bad if it doesn’t look good?”
Ouyang Bo said, "It is said that he is a senior executive of a foreign-funded company. He, his wife and children are already in junior high school. They must be clean, because the furniture and household appliances in our house are relatively clean.
It is complete and brand new. The agency gave us 800 yuan to rent it out. The rent is paid quarterly. According to the industry regulations, the principle of paying three and depositing one, I received three yuan on my card today.
Twelve hundred dollars."
Xiang Jin said, "The price is not bad, then." You must know that the current salary of ordinary workers in factories in Shanghai is only about one thousand yuan a month. If it is rented to those ordinary workers, it is estimated that
It is difficult to rent at such a price, unless it is a shared rental with several people, but in that case, it is estimated that his house will be damaged in the future, so Xiang Jin continued to ask, "How many years was it signed?"
contract?"
Ouyang Bo said, "Three years, the agency said that the other party will serve here for three years, and after three years, he may be transferred back to the country."
"Oh, okay, then I can drop this matter," Xiang Jin said.
Then Ouyang Bo asked, "Xiao Jin, I heard from grandpa that you and Yan Chen want to open another fruit and vegetable store in Shanghai and BJ, specifically to sell the fruits and vegetables grown in our fields.
"
"Ah, I have this plan."
"Have you found the shop yet?" Ouyang Bo asked.
Xiang Jin said, "Yan Chen needs to look for it when the time comes, but we don't need it here. Isn't there a ready-made one from before?"
"Which one? The one over at Huaihai Middle Road?"
"Ah, that's it."
"Is the decoration going to start now? Have you found someone to decorate it? You are at school, so who is in charge there?"
Ouyang Bo asked three questions in one breath, and Xiang Jin replied, "Isn't Uncle Zheng Gang here?"
"Is he busy here? Isn't that hot pot restaurant also busy renovating? Can he take care of two restaurants by himself?" Ouyang Bo then became a little worried.
Xiang Jin said, "Who said he is alone? There are two people around him, and I think those two people around him are quite smart and steady. When he is not around, those two people can still support him for a while.
It’s about something.”
"Okay, then what does your hotpot restaurant look like now?" Ouyang Bo then asked again.
Xiang Jin said, "It should be ready in about half a month."
"Oh, the good news is that it will be quite fast. It will be opened just in time for the winter."
"How are you doing over there? Are your health okay?" Xiang Jin then changed the topic.
Ouyang Bo said, "Okay, everything is fine. You don't have to worry about this. But you should be more careful when you are alone there."
"I know!"
"Have you called your parents recently?"
"They called. I had a phone call with them on the night of the 3rd, and I also had a phone call with them yesterday."
"If there is nothing else, should I hang up the phone? I suddenly remembered that I had something to tell Uncle Zheng Gang."
"Okay, hang up then."
Xiang Jin hung up the phone and first sent a text message to Yan Chen, telling him that she had returned to school. Although he was still on the plane at this time, he would be able to see it when he got off the plane and follow her.
I called Han Che again and asked him if he had returned to school?
Han Che answered her call and joked, "Miss Xiang, when is this time? Our school is less than one kilometer or two kilometers away from your school. It's not here yet? Why are you here at this time?
Remember to call me and ask if I've arrived?"
Xiang Jin didn't pay attention to his sour tone, but explained, "I just talked to my classmates in the dormitory for a while, and then my brother called me again, so I chatted with him for a while.
,Okay, since you have arrived at the school, how about you just fail?"
"Okay, hang up, hang up!"
After Xiang Jin ended the call with him, he called Uncle Zheng Gang again. Uncle Zheng Gang's phone rang for a while before he was picked up. He was probably busy with something, so Xiang Jin didn't bother him and asked directly.
, "Uncle Zheng, have you moved there?"
Uncle Zheng Gang said not yet, "I've been very busy these days, so I haven't had time yet."
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay. I'm mainly telling you that when you move, don't forget to move those sheets, quilt covers and quilts with you. You won't be too lazy to buy them by then, and when the time comes,
That house also needs to be rented out, but the landlord will not provide the bedding and the like. The renters have to provide it themselves."
After hearing this, Uncle Zheng Gang said, "Okay, let's move all the bedding there then. Is there anything else? If nothing else, I'll go get busy."
Xiang Jin said, "One last thing, when you move, don't forget to use the previous cloth covers to cover the sofa and the beds in several rooms to block dust."
"Okay, okay!"
Xiang Jin hung up the phone decisively and continued chatting with Lin Zi.
