"Who are all your friends coming today?"
As soon as the car left the community, Ni Bingyan couldn't help but ask.
"There are quite a few of them! Even more if they bring their family members. Even if I tell you now, you won't remember it. When they arrive, I will introduce you to them. They are all my sworn brothers in high school. We are on good terms now, so you don't have to worry. .”
"Being sworn brothers? Drink rice wine and chop chicken heads? Do you burn incense and kowtow? When you sworn sworn brothers, did you say something like, 'You don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, the same day, but you want to die in the same year, the same month, the same day' or something like that?"
Neither the original owner nor Ni Bingyan herself had a harmonious relationship with her classmates when she was in school. She had never experienced such a thing, nor had she seen such a thing in reality. When Sang Yuan talked about it, she found it quite strange.
The brothers gathered in the Temple of Heaven and brought various tributes to worship the heaven and the earth. After finishing their vows and swearing never to betray, they could not say anything.
Sang Yuan coughed dryly and wrote lightly: "There are no such things, just a few classmates who are close to each other, arranged in order of age, and the boss calls each other that way."
"Then where do you rank?"
"Old boy."
"How many of you are there in total?"
"Eight."
"Then they can't call you Sangba? Well, it's a good thing your surname is not Wang."
Sang Yuan: "..."
This is really hard to say.
"Actually, if you have seven sworn sisters, having the surname Ni is not a good thing."
Mud or something...
Ni Bingyan laughed out loud just thinking about it.
Things that you did passionately when you were young may feel a bit embarrassing as you get older, but no one will deny the existence of this matter. When Sang Yuan saw her smiling, he said:
"When you grow up, it's hard to encounter such true friendship. Although you only think it's funny, I still cherish it."
Sang Yuan blinked and looked at her, speaking seriously.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have joked about this."
Ni Bingyan scratched his head in embarrassment and looked ahead, not daring to look at him.
"I'm actually a little envious. I seem to have grown up in a hurry. When I was young, I didn't have time to make a few true friends."
Sang Yuan knew that when she was a child, she was busy working hard for survival and maintaining friendships every day, which was a very difficult thing for her, but he could only pretend not to know:
"It's okay, you will have me in the future. Your love for me can be as strong or as light as you like, but my love for you is eternal."
Ni Bingyan's face immediately turned red!
If I didn't have a strong psychological quality, I might have to drive the car into the green belt!
She sent a picture album to Sang Yuan yesterday. She wrote a few words in the picture album. In Mo Yun's album, she wrote, "The shades are as you like, the meaning is eternal."
On the surface, it means that although the ink colors in the ink paintings are different, the meaning and rhyme are the same. In fact, it is a confession that no matter whether Sang Yuan's feelings for her will fade in the future, she will always be serious about him.
Seeing her blushing, Sang Yuan was delighted.
Afraid that she would be annoyed, Sang Yuan hurriedly took out his mobile phone, turned the volume to the maximum, and played the voice in the group:
"I'm going! The elevated highway is blocked during the morning rush hour! I really run a coal mine at home - I'm so unlucky!"
"I just told you to go out early, right? You must be a jerk!"
"Isn't this a child lying in bed? Don't be complacent, third child! Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. When you become a father, you will know how difficult it is to take your baby out!"
"It's over, I forgot to bring the anti-mosquito patch. My daughter's fat white arms must not be bitten by mosquitoes!"
"Don't worry, I brought it."
"By the way, did you bring a barbecue grill?"
"Yuanzi said he would bring it last night, but I didn't."
…
Probably because he was stuck in traffic and had nothing to do, there were a lot of messages in the group, so Sang Yuan took a while to finish.
Seeing them talking about him, Sang Yuan quickly sent a message:
"I brought a lot of fruits and pickled meats, and my wife brought a lot of vegetables. If any of you have room in the car, remember to bring two buckets of mineral water. You will need it later for cooking, washing dishes, etc. I have so much stuff here that I can’t put it down.”
"Okay, okay. Yuanzi, where have you been? Did you really go out at six o'clock? You are the only one recently, why are you going out so early?"
"Ahem, didn't I just want to catch the fish first?"
"It's not that I look down on you, but at your level? Are you fishing, or are the fish fishing for you?"
"I can't do it, but my wife can do it? You just have to wait and see! By the time you arrive, we may both be full from the grilled fish!"
…
Listening to their bickering, Ni Bingyan remembered the time spent with his friends.
Although the people I met after work are not so close to each other, it is still okay for those who hang out frequently to eat, drink and go out together.
It turns out that this is how he behaves when he gets along with his friends.
He has no airs of a billionaire and is no different from ordinary people.
Unlike Jiang Sheng, Sang Yuan makes friends not based on family background, but on whether they are compatible with each other.
Most of Jiang Sheng's friends are young masters and ladies in the circle.
Have a party today and buy a cruise tomorrow. If you go to the auction and buy a pink diamond, I will buy a blue diamond, otherwise I will lose as soon as I go out.
Sang Yuan's friends come from all walks of life, most of whom he made while studying.
He has always been low-key and never pursues luxury in his clothes. He looks no different from his classmates. When he meets people with similar interests, he becomes friends without knowing it.
Many years after graduation, some classmates learned about his family background after seeing the news that he followed his parents to participate in Jiacheng's board of directors.
I saw him on the financial news again and found out that Yuan Yan Venture Capital was founded by him. Apart from teasing him to give out red envelopes and having fun, there were only a few "Yuanzi Awesome" among his classmates.
Yes, no matter how powerful he is, in the hearts of his classmates, he is still the youngest "Yuanzi" in the class. When he meets the brothers who want to be worshiped, he has to sort them by age and call them brother.
The elite education he received was different from the Western kind.
In addition to being taken around by his elders since he was a child and receiving their precepts and deeds, he also followed Chinese traditions in his studies.
I passed the high school entrance examination to get into the best high school, and then passed the college entrance examination to get into Peking University Finance. When I was a sophomore, I became an exchange student and went abroad to adapt for a year. I found it interesting, so I applied to my favorite school to study abroad.
After graduating from graduate school, he felt that Wall Street was not very interesting, so he returned to China to guard the company and go to work with peace of mind.
According to Sang Jingwen, no matter how good a college education is, it cannot compare to the company of parents and family.
There are too many bells and whistles in Western-style elite education. It is better to learn more about work experience and worldliness from your elders. At least their success has been proven, while many of the things taught by teachers in the college are still on paper.
As for connections, only ordinary children need to go to school to make friends with their peers.
No wonder Sang Jingwen is so proud.
His son, who is in his early twenties, attends official events with him. When the media publishes press releases, the word "恕" is used. When other people's sons are brought out to gain experience, it is only appropriate to use the word "拕".
In terms of ability, his peers in the circle are not at the same level as him.
Therefore, when making friends, Sang Yuan does not need to consider the relationship of interests at all, but only needs to consider whether the temperament is compatible.
College classmates and graduate school classmates may occasionally need help from him because they are in the same industry. These high school friends are engaged in industries that are completely different from his.
There was no conflict of interest, and they all had good jobs. It could be said that for so many years, except for the two who were from similar backgrounds, they had never asked him for help when they didn't pool their money to buy a wedding house.
On the contrary, Sang Yuan often seeks help from his brothers when encountering problems.
After all, there are people in the system who are easy to get things done, and his sworn brothers are all very capable industry leaders.
In order to make Ni Bingyan more confident in their future, at his request, several single brothers even cooperated with him and pretended not to come on a business trip.
Therefore, Sang Yuan is confident about today's meeting.
"Would you like a drink of water?"
Sang Yuan did not chat endlessly on his mobile phone, but always paid attention to Ni Bingyan's needs.
Seeing her licking her lips inadvertently, he guessed she was thirsty, so he immediately took out a pink sippy cup and put it to her mouth.
The boiled water she got up early will be warm this time, with a slice of fresh lemon in it, just the way she likes it.
Ni Bingyan took a sip with a smile and asked him:
"Do they have any taboos? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
After having a boyfriend and about to integrate into his social circle, it was the first time for Ni Bingyan to experience this kind of thing, so Ni Bingyan began to feel anxious without knowing it.
This kind of anxiety is even more serious than meeting parents.
After all, she has been familiar with Sang Yuan's family for a long time. Although it takes time to adapt to the change in relationship, it will not be too difficult. She has never met his friends and their family members.
Sang Yuan had no choice but to tell her about the brothers who came today:
"The eldest is a policeman named Qin Dong. His wife is also a policeman. They have a son who is three years old now and his name is Lele.
"The second child is a lawyer named Wang Cheng, and his wife is an accountant. They have a daughter named Guoguo, who is just eight months old and chubby. When she was full moon, I even went to drink full moon wine, waiting for the first birthday party. , I can finally go alone."
This person is always like this, always mentioning personal things when he talks.
Ni Bingyan couldn't help but blush a little, but didn't say anything.
She hasn't seen the schedule yet and doesn't know if she has any work arrangements on the day Guoguo turns one, so she won't agree casually.
"Turn right at the intersection ahead..."
Ni Bingyan listened to the navigation and stopped and waited when he saw a red light.
"Then what?"
"The third child is a judge. His name is Xue Kaixiang. This guy had a very high hairline when he was in high school. He said he had a hair transplant a while ago. I don't know how effective it was. You will definitely recognize him when you meet him. His wife She is a kindergarten teacher. She just got married on May Day and has no children yet."
Ni Bingyan wrote down all of this while driving.
"The fourth child is a general surgeon named Zeng Weiqiang. He likes to do popular science on the Internet. He is an Internet celebrity. He published a book before, and I bought a batch of it to provide benefits to employees. If I feel uncomfortable somewhere, I don't ask. I don't feel at ease after giving birth to him. As for his wife, she is an obstetrics nurse. Their son is one and a half years old, his nickname is Duofu, and he should bring her later."
Seeing that Ni Bingyan was silent, Sang Yuan asked her again: "What do you think is a more suitable name for our child? Look at their nickname, how festive it is!"
Ni Bingyan smiled and said "bah" and ignored him.
Sang Yuan didn't feel bored either, so he took out Wangcai's beef cubes and fed it.
Wangcai is a very well-behaved dog. Except for being jealous occasionally, he rarely loses his temper.
After getting on the bus from Sangyuan, it lay quietly at his feet. If it hadn't made a sound while chewing beef cubes, no one would have known it was here.
It only takes more than an hour from home.
After leaving the city, because it was a working day and the road was relatively empty, Sang Yuan told her about his high school days.
"You must have had many suitors at that time, right? Did anyone write you a love letter?"
Sang Yuan immediately sat upright and said seriously: "How is that possible? I go to school early, and my classmates are generally one or two years older than me, so they treat me as their younger brother. Who would chase me?"
Seeing his nervous look, Ni Bingyan snorted and didn't ask any more questions.
As a result, Sang Yuan became more enthusiastic: "You must have been followed by many people when you were a child, right? For the sake of fairness, you have to tell me."
The smile suddenly disappeared from Ni Bingyan's face.
The original owner was naturally pursued by many people.
She is beautiful, her family is rich, she has talents and talents, and she has good academic performance. From childhood to adulthood, she has been a goddess in the eyes of her classmates.
But she was like an ugly duckling, always wearing old clothes donated by members of the community, eating ordinary food, and enduring the slight rejection from her classmates.
When she was a child, she always studied in silence, eager to live a good life through learning.
While having extremely low self-esteem, I am also extremely self-confident, for fear that others will look down on me.
When she was young and had limited knowledge, her teacher told her that the country had officially launched scholarship loans. She could get loans to go to school, and she would get scholarships after entering the school. As long as she was good enough, she could complete her studies with grants and scholarships.
As a result, she was afraid that she would not be able to pay back the loan, and she was also afraid that she was not good enough to get a scholarship, so she finally chose to give up college.
The old dean said that people born before liberation did not receive a good education, were not knowledgeable enough, were old, and did not have enough energy. They usually only focused on the three acres of land in the orphanage and did not care about current affairs. Naturally, they were not aware of policy changes. .
Seeing that she did not plan to go to college and wanted to work to support herself, and considering the difficult financial situation of the orphanage, he gave her a living allowance and asked her to find a job.
As a result, she accidentally became a part-timer because of a human trafficker and has since entered the entertainment industry.
Because of this incident, the old dean still regretted it before she died, feeling that she was incompetent and had delayed her life.
I obviously had the opportunity to study in a prestigious university and work in an office as a white-collar worker after graduation, but now I can only drive a shabby Wuling and work as a backup for various production crews.
Working hard and earning a meager income, I don’t know when I will be able to make a difference...
"It's over, I seem to have gone the wrong way, Yuanzi, please look at the map!"
Seeing that she deliberately changed the topic, Sang Yuan didn't care and directly gave her directions.
He has been here several times and is familiar with the road.
In August, the sun is blazing, but the mountains are lush with trees, fresh air, waterfalls, springs, secluded pools and clear streams. It is really a good place to escape the summer heat.
Seeing that they had arrived, Ni Bingyan stopped the car and Sang Yuan started to send a WeChat message:
"Where have you been? We are already here! Do you know the place? Over there at Dayanghuahua!"
Guessing that it would take a while for the others to arrive, Ni Bingyan parked the car and opened the trunk and rear seat doors.
"Let's go down and set up camp first! The sun is getting bigger and bigger. When they arrive later, they will have a place to rest."
Sang Yuan agreed. He got out of the car and pulled down the small folding trailer, and then put the tent and camping canopy inside.
There is an open space next to the highway, suitable for parking. Go down the gentle slope, and there is a large lawn under the shade of green trees. Not far away, there is a deep mountain stream. At the end of the mountain stream, you can faintly see a large Pool.
Not far away, there were lush green mountains and the faint chirping of birds. Ni Bingyan took a deep breath and felt very relaxed!
This is indeed a great place for a picnic.
If it wasn't a working day and they came early, they might not be able to get a good seat.
The two of them went back and forth several times to transport things down, first set up the tent, then pulled up the big camping canopy and laid out the checkered picnic mat.
The small table was set up and the food was put on it. After checking it back and forth, the two took a small iron plate and put the mosquito coils on it, and placed it in the middle of the camp to light it.
"Children attract mosquitoes, so smoke them first so they don't get bitten when they arrive later."
Sang Yuan did the job skillfully, and followed his father's instructions to make up the details.
Sure enough, Ni Bingyan had a great impression of him: "If you become a father, you will definitely be a good father!"
After hearing this, Sang Yuan immediately became excited.
Before he could speak, Ni Bingyan laughed, picked up the fishing gear and went to the stream.
She can also say seductive things.
I planned to take my children on a spring outing and have a picnic. I looked at the weather forecast and found that the next forty days would be cloudy and rainy. I just started watching "National Forensic" and have been saving it for a long time. Please don't spoil it for me. I want to watch it slowly. You can't write behind closed doors, you have to learn from advanced authors. Ruhai Update is too embarrassing, but I'm not much better than him, so I can't criticize him, let him write slowly! By the way, the metaphor of the bird god is really a masterpiece! Don't worry, I'm just going to learn how to use metaphors smoothly, and I will definitely not learn the damn art of fragmentation.
