The originally empty and quiet house finally had the smell of fireworks.
My mother, Wang Qin, is cooking her favorite braised pork ribs in the kitchen.
Dad Zhang Jun was watching "Crossing Guandong" in the living room.
As the opening drama of Yangma in 2008, "Crossing Guandong" has become a hit recently.
This TV series tells the story of a Shandong family who was forced to leave their hometown and "travel to Guandong" due to life difficulties. It uses the complex and bumpy life of the protagonist Zhu Kaishan as a clue, interspersed with Zhu Kaishan's three sons with different personalities and different destinies. All kinds of hardships and tests encountered on the road to Guandong.
Perhaps because he was also wandering outside, Zhang Jun was fascinated by this TV series. He leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked completely comfortable.
In the kitchen, Wang Ying couldn't help but curiously said while bringing the food to the table:
"Xiaoxuan, what is the relationship between the girl at the school gate and you?"
Before Chu Xuan could remember to answer, Zhang Jun, who was sitting on the sofa, put down the remote control in his hand. As he walked into the kitchen to help serve the dishes, he said calmly: "Didn't Xiaoxuan say that, I'm just a classmate in the same class."
Chu Xuan originally planned to go into the kitchen to help, but Wang Ying kicked him out so that he could have time to read more.
Seeing that the food was ready, Chu Xuan put down the book. He couldn't wait to sit on the dining table and let his parents be busy.
This feeling……
I haven't felt it since I graduated from college.
In a blink of an eye, I must have been young for twenty years.
In the last life, I failed to live up to expectations and was trapped by love. At the age of thirty-eight, I still didn't let my parents worry. My mother, Wang Ying, was in tears all day long.
At the age of fifty, Wang Ying already had white hair and looked as old as sixty or seventy years old.
But now, Wang Ying still has a full head of black hair and a happy smile on her face.
Dad Zhang Jun is also young and strong.
It feels really good to have young parents.
"Mom, what if I take that girl home and make her your daughter-in-law?"
Chu Xuan sat on the dining table.
In fact, he wanted to take Zhao Shuangshuang home to have dinner together in the evening.
It's just that Zhao Shuangshuang is thin-skinned. She is not ready to meet her parents-in-law yet, so she goes back to her home after saying hello.
Zhang Jun couldn't help but attack Chu Xuan's bold words:
"Son, if it's not your father, I'm going to attack you. That girl named Xiaoshuang looks like a fairy. She's just sitting at the same table with you. Do you really think of yourself as a green onion?"
Zhang Jun brought the garlic fried fish to the table. He turned around and took the bowl and chopsticks, then sat next to Chu Xuan and opened a bottle of white wine: "Drink something?"
Wang Ying immediately hit Zhang Jun: "Please give me a beating, Xiaoxuan will take the college entrance examination in two days. If you let him drink now, I think your skin is itchy."
Chu Xuan actually wanted to have a drink with his father, but due to his mother's silver power, he had no choice but to give up.
The family was sitting at the dining table, and Zhang Ying kept putting vegetables into his bowl.
Chu Xuan saw that she looked a little strange, so he asked curiously: "Mom, what's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face? Are you looking at me like this?"
Zhang Ying hesitated to speak, but she was not the kind of person to be thoughtful and could not hide things in her heart, so she finally asked:
"Your dad and I came back in the afternoon and cleaned the house for a long time. There seem to be two sets of toothpaste and toothbrushes, bath towels, slippers, and dishes and chopsticks in pairs. Xiaoxuan, tell the truth to mom. Did you bring a girl to live at home?"
Chu Xuan, who was enjoying his meal, was choked. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, then picked up the water glass and took a big sip.
Only then did she remember that Zhao Shuangshuang had been helping her with her classes during this period. She put all kinds of toiletries in her home and didn't pack them away at all.
After hearing Wang Ying's words, his father Zhang Jun also realized something. He widened his eyes and said:
"You kid, are you really taking that little fairy home?"
Chu Xuan didn’t argue:
"It's Xiaoshuang, not a fairy. Her name is Zhao Shuangshuang. We have been sitting together since the first year of high school. Zhao Shuangshuang has very good grades and ranks first in the school. She is a Miaozi from Qingbei. She thinks that my grades are not very good. , so I have been staying at our house during this period to help me with my classes. Didn’t you see the books piled on the table in the living room? One book should be stable this time."
Hearing that Zhao Shuangshuang was tutoring Chu Xuan, Wang Ying and Zhang Jun looked at each other in disbelief: "Just you? Can you pass the exam?"
Chu Xuan's previous grades were really mediocre. With his grades, he had little hope.
But now, Qingbei Chuxuan is not sure, but he still has the key points at his fingertips!
"Don't worry, the head teacher has already talked to me. Apart from Qingbei, I can choose any of the key universities. I'm still worried about whether to choose Fudan University or the Conservatory of Music."
"Bad boy, I noticed that I haven't seen him for a while. He doesn't have any other skills. His ability to brag has improved a lot. His little mouth is too loud. Don't slap him in the face when the time comes." Zhang Jun looked at Chu Xuan with some doubts.
Mom, on the other hand, obviously still believes in her son:
"Xiaoxuan has indeed grown up. He is more handsome and sensible than when he came back for the last New Year. Mom believes in you. When you are admitted to college, your dad and I will celebrate you well. Whatever you want, let your dad Buy it for you."
Chu Xuan was not polite: "Okay, I'll keep this in mind. I'll think about what I want later."
It was a pleasant meal.
With the arrival of his parents, Chu Xuan spent the next two days doing nothing but eating and studying, so he didn't need to do anything at home.
Chicken, fish, meat, eggs, and various nutritional supplements are served at every meal.
Chu Xuan estimated that if he kept eating like this, he would probably weigh two hundred pounds.
But this happy time is short-lived after all.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
June 7th.
When she got up early in the morning, her mother, Wang Ying, found a cheongsam from somewhere. After putting it on, she dressed herself up, making her look ten years younger.
Chu Xuan saw his mother dressed up like a little girl, and his eyes widened: "Mom, which song are you singing?"
Wang Ying rolled his eyes: "Go, go, what do you know? This is called victory. I put on this cheongsam to ensure that you, the boy, win the battle."
Zhang Jun also got up very early. He carried a pile of breakfast and put it on the dining table. After eating as a family, he went straight to the examination room.
Chu Xuan and Zhao Shuangshuang were not in the same examination room and did not see each other for the next two days.
On the contrary, Su Xiaoya, the famous social butterfly in the next class, was not far from Chu Xuan.
When the two met, Su Xiaoya came over to say hello warmly.
It's just that Chu Xuan and she were not familiar with each other in the first place, and coupled with the pressure of exams, they just nodded in response without any in-depth communication.
The two-day college entrance examination went very smoothly.
When he walked out of the examination room, Chu Xuan even felt as if he hadn't woken up from a dream.
More than ten years of hard work were all released in these two days.
Chu Xuan didn't feel nervous or uneasy, nor was he too excited. He just walked out of the examination room normally.
When I walked out of the school gate, I saw my parents waiting anxiously.
"Is the exam over now?" Wang Ying was still in a daze.
Zhang Jun took Chu Xuan’s hand and narrowed his eyes to look at Chu Xuan’s expression:
"How is it? Is it difficult? I heard the students who came out early complained that the test paper was too difficult and that the last math question was impossible to solve."
Chu Xuan took a deep breath. It was only at this moment that he felt truly reborn:
"I have done it. Generally speaking, the questions are not difficult to solve. I am 99% sure that I will pass the exam."
"Okay, if you dare to say this, it means that you know what's going on. Last time, I was afraid of delaying your exam. This time, after the exam, you feel relaxed. Let's go home and have a drink."
Chu Xuan nodded: "Okay!"
When I got home, my mother didn't have the energy to cook. She stood in front of the school in a cheongsam and high heels for a day. She was even more nervous than Chu Xuan who was taking the exam. Now that it was finally over, she was not in the mood to cook, so she ordered some chicken and duck at the restaurant. Take the fish home.
Zhang Jun opened a bottle of Laobaigan.
Father and son clinked glasses for the first time.
Chu Xuan raised his head and poured a full glass of liquor into his stomach. Wang Ying on the side said worriedly:
"Why are you drinking so hard, Xiaoxuan, you have never drank before, so Pengpeng's lips only mean what they mean."
Zhang Jun originally only drank half of it, but when he saw that Chu Xuan was bored, he raised his head and poured it into his stomach in one gulp:
"Okay, want another drink?"
Chu Xuan did not refuse, and directly picked up the wine bottle and filled it for himself and his father.
Chu Xuan was very happy and drank three glasses of wine with his father.
But after all, he was a light drinker. After a few glasses of wine, his face had turned blood red.
Zhang Jun giggled: "You brat, I saw you drinking so hard, I thought you could drink two more drinks with me, but I didn't expect you to drink more."
Wang Ying loved her son so much that she immediately put away the two glasses of wine: "Drink, drink, you old man, just drink by yourself, and you still want to drink Xiaoxuan, has he ever drank? He must be uncomfortable after drinking so much at once. .”
"What's the point? I'm a manly man. Xiaoxuan is already eighteen and an adult. Drinking is nothing."
The voices of my parents became increasingly blurry.
Chu Xuan didn't know when he lay on the bed.
Anyway, when he opened his eyes, he had a severe headache and his mouth was dry.
I picked up the phone on the bedside and looked at the time. It was already twelve o'clock in the morning.
Just as he was about to get up, Zhang Ying walked in with a water glass in his hand.
After Chu Xuan drank the water, he felt much better.
"Lie down!"
Chu Xuan lay on the bed obediently.
Wang Ying sat by the bed. She took out a small pile of Mao Zedong from her pocket and put it in Chu Xuan's hand, and then said softly:
"Xiaoxuan, you have finished the exam. Your dad and I can't do business without people. We have booked the tickets for tomorrow morning. Mom knows that you have worked hard in the past few years. Now that you have finished the exam, you can Have fun at home with your classmates and friends, relax, and when the notice comes, I will ask your dad to pick you up and we can spend a few days together."
Chu Xuan looked at the thousand yuan in his hand, hesitated slightly, and finally said what was in his heart.
"Mom, why don't you and dad stop working together? You can take care of the business over there and go home to take care of yourself. I'll take care of you."
Wang Ying, who was still a little sad at first, immediately laughed out loud!
"You brat, what are you going to do to support me and your dad? We still have to make money to get you a wife. In a few years, when you graduate from college and get a wife, I will go home with your dad to help you take care of your children. "
Chu Xuan did have 300,000 yuan in hand, but this was the initial capital for his business. He could not give this money to his parents.
As for Qingba, the contract has just been signed, and the business will be closed for renovations. Speaking of it, Chu Xuan really doesn't have the ability to let his parents enjoy happiness.
Of course, Chu Xuan also knows that it is absolutely impossible for his parents to come back to enjoy the blessing now.
They have their own responsibilities and responsibilities.
If you want your parents to go home, you have to at least wait until you actually achieve results.
He knew that nothing he said would be of any use, so he shook a stack of Mao Zedong in his hand and said seriously:
"Mom, I will treat this money as your investment in my business. When I become bigger and stronger in the future and become a Fortune 500 company, you will be the CEO and my dad will be the chairman."
"CEO? That's okay. I'll take care of your money then and let you get a wife."
My mother never left her daughter-in-law, and Chu Xuan was also speechless.
The two chatted for a while, but Wang Ying got up and left for fear of disturbing Chu Xuan's rest.
…
Speechless all night.
When I got up the next day, sure enough, my parents had left.
Chu Xuan knew that his parents opened a seafood shop on the coast and were very busy every day. They had lost a lot of business by closing the shop to spend a few days with him during the college entrance examination. Now that the college entrance examination was over, his parents would naturally rush to open a shop.
I don’t know if it’s because being with my parents these past few days has been so cozy.
The house suddenly became empty, and Chu Xuan really felt uncomfortable in his heart.
I feel empty in my heart, and I can find the shadow of my parents everywhere I look.
So, not wanting to fall into sadness, he took the initiative to call Zhao Shuangshuang and asked her to go shopping together.
Zhao Shuangshuang was obviously waiting for her. As soon as the phone rang, she answered it immediately.
The two agreed to meet at the gate of Zhao Shuangshuang's community.
Chu Xuan took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and at the same time dressed himself up completely.
Then he put a thousand yuan in his pocket that his mother had given him.
After getting on the bicycle, we set off facing the rising sun.
