Chapter 68 Opinion
Chapter 68 Opinion
Taking advantage of the fact that the visiting time was about to end before the New Year, Xu Mingyuan took Xiao Yangzhi to visit Xu Jun the next day.
The same old things were still said over and over again, like asking if it was okay and not to be anxious.
Then Xu Jun would always casually ask, "Has your mother come back?" This completely left Xu Mingyuan, who was just watching the fun, speechless.
To be honest, Xu Mingyuan really wanted to meet Yang Hongyu and see what her charm was.
It was because of these words that Xiao Yangzhi, who was already in a bad mood, didn't even have time to burst into tears. In an instant, they were like a flood that broke through a dam. She sat there crying and shaking her head.
This time Xu Mingyuan learned his lesson and left with Xiao Yangzhi before the visiting time.
Now that you have ended up like this, and you are still thinking about these trivial things, don't even think about getting your sentence reduced. Wait until you face the reality before you go out.
Xu Mingyuan thought about it and took Xiao Yangzhi with him to visit Gao Dexiang's home.
The gifts I brought with me were a set of three items: cigarettes, alcohol, and tea. The prices were not low, Maotai, soft Zhonghua, and Yuqian Maojian in exquisite packaging.
This is the social atmosphere at that time. People always feel uneasy when asking others to do something without giving gifts.
Xu Mingyuan had no intention of changing the status quo. He had never been a maverick. As long as it was in his own interests, he didn't care about personal morality, and they were all trivial matters that did not affect the overall integrity.
Gao Dexiang was in a good mood. It was a rare occasion that students came to visit him near the New Year, so he enthusiastically invited them to have lunch together.
He opened a bottle of white wine during the meal, poured a full glass for Xu Mingyuan, and drank most of the bottle himself.
After drinking to his heart's content, he complained to Xiao Yangzhi about how his brother's student caused him as a teacher great trouble and how he must not take him as a role model.
During this period, he also asked Xu Mingyuan's father Xu Jun, but was evaded, so Gao Dexiang did not ask again.
The old man started his business in the 1970s and became famous in the 1980s and 1990s. The older generation of Nanxi people have heard of this factory director to some extent.
What Gao Dexiang could never have imagined was that Xu Jun, the second-generation rich man, was living in such a mess.
After solving Xiao Yangzhi's future schooling problem, Xu Mingyuan returned home slightly tipsy.
While drinking the tea poured by Xiao Yangzhi, Xu Mingyuan suddenly felt a little lonely.
The Xu family used to be busiest during the year before the Lunar New Year. It wouldn’t be said that the house was always packed with people, but there were always people lining up to visit.
He sighed for no reason. The old man was determined to make him start from scratch in his life.
Seeing Xu Mingyuan lying on the sofa and staring at the ceiling in a daze, Yang Zhi walked over slowly, turned on the TV and switched to the news channel.
The TV programs were all about New Year's Eve. Yang Zhi frowned and when she saw that Xu Mingyuan wasn't watching, she changed the channel.
As if she could see the loneliness in Xu Mingyuan's eyes, Yang Zhi felt as if her heart was also being gripped. She couldn't even breathe smoothly and felt indescribably uncomfortable.
Just as Xu Mingyuan was in a daze, he suddenly found a peeled banana being handed to his mouth.
This scene was a bit strange. When Xu Mingyuan came to his senses, he saw Xiao Yangzhi forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Brother, eat."
"Haha."
Xu Mingyuan laughed from the bottom of his heart and rubbed her head hard until her hair was flying, then he stopped.
Yang Zhi's clear eyes revealed a rare hint of helplessness. It took her a long time to tidy up her hair. She held up the hair tie, twisted her hair a few times, and then tied it into a ponytail.
"Come on, get dressed, you won't be staying at home for the next two days."
"Brother, where are we going?"
"Let's go to the hotel. The streets are closed these past two days. There's not even a place to eat. Come on, I'll take you out to spend some money."
Xu Mingyuan returned to the room, took out a stack of money and put it in his pocket.
When he came out after getting ready, he saw Xiao Yangzhi still standing there, so he urged her, "Hurry up and run forward."
“The hotel won’t be open either…”
Yang Zhi squeaked weakly.
"We must go to a better hotel. If he dares not to open the door, we will smash his store." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
There are hundreds of wealthy people in Nanxi City, and it is not uncommon for a large family to gather in a hotel during the New Year. It is always more comfortable to have someone to serve you than to stay at home.
Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi was hesitating for a long time and had not yet walked back to the room, Xu Mingyuan understood what she meant and simply sat on the sofa, watching her performance quietly.
Yang Zhi suddenly had an idea, and ran to the refrigerator with brisk steps. After flipping through it for a while, he said, "Brother, look, there's food. I also bought some dumplings. I'm watching them. They're all freshly made. There's also chicken. The auntie at the market said that you only need to add a little salt and cook it for an hour before you can eat it..."
Yang Zhi was afraid that Xu Mingyuan would not believe it, so she deliberately carried the bag and waved it in front of him, as if to show off.
Xu Mingyuan just looked at her like this until she lowered her head, and then said, "You don't want to go?" "No."
"You want to stay home?"
"It will be all right……"
Xu Mingyuan was quite helpless and said, "Do you want to go or stay at home?"
"I'm fine..."
"Whether you want to go or not, tell me for sure."
Seeing her like a bullied girl, Xu Mingyuan felt a little headache.
Not to mention that I'm always yelling and yelling, I also walk sideways wherever I go. Now look at you, you're such a loser.
In this society, people will not be bullied less just because they are honest. Instead, honest people are asked to be more patient. This is especially true between girls.
Xu Mingyuan didn't want to change her, but at least she should have some opinions of her own.
"..."
Yang Zhi still stayed there obediently. Seeing Xu Mingyuan sitting on the sofa looking at her, she lowered her head even more.
"Put it back. It will melt soon."
In the end, Xu Mingyuan gave up.
Although Xiao Yangzhi is like this now, maybe it will be better when she grows up?
It’s hard to say for sure, let’s wait and see later.
Yang Zhi put the things back in the refrigerator and went back to her room to change her clothes. When she came out, she saw that Xu Mingyuan had taken off his down jacket and threw it aside and was watching TV again.
Yang Zhi waited silently for a moment, went over to hang up the clothes that had been thrown aside, and quietly sat on the sofa, watching TV with Xu Mingyuan for the whole day.
By the end of the next day, Xu Mingyuan's phone rang frequently, mostly with classmates, as well as people like Cheng Liang and Li Yunfeng.
Tao Shuxin specifically called him twice, telling him that he must wish her a happy new year tomorrow, otherwise she would not let him go after she came back from vacation.
Xu Mingyuan turned his head and forgot about it. Anyway, even if he didn't call her, she would call him.
However, Xiao Yangzhi was quiet and her cell phone was also quiet.
Suddenly seeing her answer the phone, Xu Mingyuan was surprised for a long time. After asking, he found out that it was the transfer student Duan Shihan. He reminded her to remember to call tomorrow.
Xu Mingyuan is popular, that's the result of personal connections, all he needs to do is wait for the call.
But Xiao Yangzhi can't do that. If she keeps silent all day, even the best friends will disperse.
Yang Zhi changed into a new set of clothes and after being busy for a long time, she felt that the coat was very cumbersome.
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was still wearing yesterday's clothes, he wanted to remind him again, but then he felt that he was getting in the way, so he gave up.
He took off his coat and hung it up, wearing a brown turtleneck sweater underneath.
The wool sweater is a slim fit. Yang Zhi didn't want to buy it at first, but when her brother said it looked good, she bought it.
Yang Zhi has a slender figure, and even the slim-fitting wool sweater is a little loose around the waist and abdomen.
I stretched my arms, felt pretty good, and went back to work.
After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets for a long time, Yang Zhi frowned and secretly glanced at Xu Mingyuan who was answering the phone. His little face looked depressed and he sighed softly.
I just promised my brother that I have everything ready.
But before the expedition even started, it was already at a disadvantage.
But she suddenly thought of something, took out a handful of noodles, put them into a bowl and crushed them finely.
After grinding it into powder, Yang Zhi poured some boiling water into it and stirred it evenly. Then he stretched out his finger to test it, then quickly retracted it, put it in his mouth to suck for a while, and then kept blowing air into the bowl.
After the batter in the bowl cooled down a little, Yang Zhi rubbed it with her fingertips a few times and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
I’m not as stupid as my brother says. I’m also very smart.
Yang Zhi happily carried the bowl to the living room. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was fine, she said softly, "Brother, do you want to put up Spring Festival couplets together?"
