Chapter 19 Party Next
It has been seven or eight years since I graduated from junior high school. In junior high school, Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan's behavior was quite unique. What kind of fun would be popular among students? These two guys must have driven the whole class or even the whole grade to play, but Zhuang Rui's academic performance was very good, and Liu Chuan had been They are all negative textbooks from teachers and parents.
At that time, students still had relatively pure thoughts, and they did not have so much utilitarianism in their communication with each other. Unlike today's schools, when choosing class cadres from primary school, it is necessary to compare them first to see whose parents are rich and have high status, and the trend of comparison between students is quite serious.
Compared with the stressful high school life, junior high school still left a lot of good memories for Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan. After graduating from high school, Zhuang Rui went to college in Shanghai and had almost no contact with his former junior high school classmates. At this time, when he heard Liu Chuan's proposal, he also wanted to see the students of that year.
Lei Lei transferred to Hong Kong in the third year of junior high school. Everyone knows that in the early 1990s, Hong Kong people could hardly speak Mandarin. Many Hong Kong people even had a hard time listening to Mandarin, while mainlanders went to Hong Kong. If they could not speak vernacular (that is, Cantonese), it must be difficult to walk. When Because I don't understand the language in school, I don't have any friends. Naturally, I miss my life in Pengcheng very much. At this moment, when I heard Liu Chuan's words, I was immediately moved.
"Liu... Er, Dachuan," Zhuang Rui is used to shouting Liu Chuan's nickname, and it's really a little difficult to change it.
"The classmates in junior high school basically had no contact with each other except for a few students who were in the same school as us in high school. How can they convene people to have a party? Do you have a way?" Zhuang Rui has some doubts. Many of his classmates have disappeared for seven or eight years. I'm afraid they can't recognize each other when they meet.
"Isn't this nonsense? Brother, I'm a local snake. We got together once three years ago. I have their contact information. By the way, last time you couldn't come back in Zhonghai, didn't I call you?"
Liu Chuan is not talking nonsense. After he was not admitted to college in high school, he began to fool around in the society. He went out of the school gate and entered the society. He paid attention to social relations and connections. Liu Chuan's pet store has only been opened for a few years, and he has made a lot of money in Pengcheng, Friends are inseparable. Pengcheng is so big, and the students who used to be in junior high school were basically in the same district, and they got in touch with each other.
Some of the classmates are good and some are unsatisfactory. They can occasionally help each other, so Liu Chuan organized a party a few years ago. In terms of life and interpersonal relationships, Zhuang Rui is really much worse than Liu Chuan.
Liu Chuan said this, Zhuang Rui remembered that there was really such a thing a few years ago, but he was studying in Zhonghai, he was nervous about his study, and he didn't pay much attention to the gathering of junior high school classmates, and he had forgotten it for a long time.
"Dachuan, it's New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid it's too late to have a party before the New Year..."
During the Spring Festival, from the first day of the lunar new year to the fifth day of the lunar new year, I have to go to the homes of relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings. If you arrange a party after the Spring Festival, it will be after the fifth day of the lunar month. However, after the Spring Festival in Pengcheng, I With a little regretful expression.
Liu Chuan's eyes turned around. This was an opportunity to show his ability. He secretly thought about it in his heart. On New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, if the New Year's Eve party can only be arranged tomorrow, there are 38 junior high school classmates, and more than a dozen people go to other places to Most of them have returned to work and stayed in other places to work. Now they should also be in Pengcheng for the Spring Festival. There are about 17 or 18 people who have been in contact with them. Let them contact a few more. It is estimated that more than 20 people can come. The key is whether these people have time tomorrow.
"Don't worry about it. I'll arrange it. Let's have a party at noon tomorrow." Liu Chuan thought about it and felt almost the same, so he said.
Liu Chuan has not been in vain over the years. He did things in a very organized way. First, he called the hotel to book a few tables, then turned over the address book that he didn't know where he found from, and began to call. In less than half an hour, he found about a dozen people, five male classmates and seven female classmates, After the name, the phone promised to arrive on time tomorrow. Several people can still help contact other classmates. In this way, there are already seventeen or eight people, and there are still a few people who do not have a phone at home. Liu Chuan is going to drive to inform one by one later.
"Liu Chuan, I didn't expect you to be very popular. You have been in touch with your female classmates for so many years." As soon as Liu Chuan put down the phone, Lei Lei asked with a smile. Liu Chuan immediately regretted it. Why did he call his female classmates and let those buddies inform him.
"What... It's all the child's mother. I've gone to drink a few people's full moon wine. Let's go, Lei Lei, Miss Qin, I'll take you home first, and I'll inform you one by one." Liu Chuan quickly changed the topic and said righteously.
*****
"Lei Lei, there are a lot of people chasing you in Hong Kong. I have never seen you date anyone. It turns out that there is a childhood sweetheart's boyfriend hidden in the family. Although Liu Chuan is quite good, he can't be particularly excellent. Why do you really like him?"
Lying in Lei Lei's room, Qin Xuanbing's previous coldness swept away and said narrowly. She was really a little puzzled. According to the power of Lei Lei's grandfather's family and her own conditions, she should be able to find a more suitable boyfriend.
"Do you know what I looked like when I first went to Hong Kong?" Lei Lei was playing with the computer at the head of the bed. Hearing the words, she turned her head and looked at Qin Xuanbing and asked.
"Hehe, at that time, you wore a thick pair of glasses and were also very old-fashioned. Many people in the class called you mainland girls, didn't you..."
When Lei Lei first arrived in Hong Kong, she was inserted into Qin Xuanbing's class. At that time, Lei Lei could not even understand Cantonese, and the people in the class could not understand Lei Lei's Mandarin. If Qin Xuanbing hadn't followed her grandfather since she was a child and could listen to Mandarin, they would not have become good friends
"Yes, it was the same when I didn't arrive in Hong Kong. The people in the class called me a four-eyed girl. Liu Chuan was very arrogant in the class. Many people were afraid of him, but he never bullied others. Once he beat a classmate who called me four-eyed. Since then, no one has called me ..."
Lei Lei recalled that it could be seen that it had a great impact on her in the future. Maybe Liu Chuan's image would be printed in Lei Lei's mind at that time.
"I'm not going to let Liu Chuan raise me. On the way, Xuanxuan, are you going to let Master Wang raise me, or dedicate yourself to Master Huo? If they knew that you came to the mainland, they would definitely chase you. Lei Lei's words immediately made Qin Xuanbing ashamed and angry, and the two of them fought in **.
When both of them were tired and panting, they stopped. Lei Lei was worried that she would go to the party tomorrow. Qin Xuanbing would be bored at home, so she asked, "Xianxuan, go to the class reunion with me tomorrow. By the way, Zhuang Rui is very good. You can also collect an extra minister in the skirt in the mainland..."
"You're going to die. It's so unpleasant to say. No, I'm not interested in that man. I'm lustful when I look at people. By the way, Lei Lei, have you found that Zhuang Rui's mother is so temperamental. She doesn't come from such a small family."
Qin Xuanbing's words also made Leilei a little strange. The elegant behavior shown by Zhuang's mother on the table today could never be done if it hadn't been cultivated in a good environment for a long time, which made them, who usually pay great attention to etiquette, felt a little surprised. In front of Zhuang's mother, they were very surprised There is a feeling of facing the elders of the family.
Lei Lei didn't say anything more. Maybe Zhuang's mother is a person with a story, but Zhuang Rui was obviously not born in a rich family. With Qin Xuanbing's family background, he and Qin Xuanbing are obviously people in two worlds, and they can never intersect together, so there is no intention to match the two.
******
Less than 11 o'clock at noon the next day, Zhuang Rui was dragged to the hotel of the party by Liu Chuan. According to Liu Chuan's words, he was also one of the conveners. Naturally, he wanted to come to help. After throwing Zhuang Rui to the hotel, Liu Chuan went to pick up Lei Lei.
When Liu Chuan came back, Lei Lei was the only one who got out of the car, which made Zhuang Rui happy and a little lost. Although he didn't want to have an ice cube around him in this cold winter, if he was far away from her, he could enjoy it from afar. As the saying goes, beauty is delicious.
In a short time, the students who attended the party came one after another. When the banquet opened at 12 o'clock, 31 people actually came. Except for a few students who are not in Pengcheng now, basically all the students in Pengcheng have arrived. The appearance of Zhuang Rui and Lei Lei naturally surprised everyone and made the two people who had been away from home for I felt the strong friendship between my old classmates.
The meal was very lively. In the middle, Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan became the object of criticism by their classmates. What impressed everyone most was that these two kids cheated everyone out of money when they were in the first year of junior high school. One of them sang white and the other was red, which would defraud a lot of pocket money from everyone
At that time, many families already had TV sets, and those who did not have TV at home often went to other people's homes to watch. Because a large number of Hong Kong TV dramas entered the mainland, the earliest group of star fans also emerged, which seemed to be Zhuang Rui's idea. These two kids took out all the New Year's money they I went to the Pengcheng Small Commodity Wholesale Market to get a batch of stickers, which are printed with stars, which can be pasted on books.
The stickers of dozens of stars on the whole page are very cheap, that is, about 2 yuan. The two cut the stickers of the whole page, divided them into single sheets and shouted in the class. Each one is sold for 20 cents or 50 cents according to the popularity of the star and the size of the picture, and And if you don't have money, you can exchange food stamps. You know, in that era of planned economy, food stamps can almost be used as money. Because of the flexible trading methods, their stickers are very popular.
In a few days, the stickers were sold out. Not only their class, but also the whole grade was spreading their stickers, and there were several second-way traffickers who should be the youngest of students in the country. After the sale, the results surprised Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan. They only spent more than 20 yuan on the capital and actually made enough money. There are more than 300 yuan, which is much higher than their parents' salary at that time.
This discovery made the two of them very happy. You know, it was a huge amount of money to carry a few yuan in their pockets. Usually, when the school organizes an outing, their parents only gave them 50 cents. In just a few days, they made more than 300 yuan, which immediately increased their confidence, but they were ready to continue to buy goods During the pursuit, it was found by the teacher. Well, it should be said that it was found by Liu Chuan's mother. As a result, the buttocks of the two naturally bloomed, and the executor was Liu Chuan's father.
The process of discovery was also accidental, because a classmate in another class bought a two-yuan sticker. Due to insufficient funds, it was on credit. He agreed to pay the next day, but he didn't give it. Then Liu Chuan came forward to deter them. What they didn't expect was that a few days later, the parents of the classmate Teacher, it happened to be Liu Chuan's mother. Although the purpose was to pay back the money, the behavior of the two was also exposed.
Liu Chuan's father's good fight made Zhuang Rui honestly admitted to college, but Liu Chuan still returned to the wave of reform and opening up a few years later. So far, when the old man was in a good mood, Liu Chuan complained that he had killed his business talent.
Lei Lei has naturally become the focus of the party. In those years, the yellow-haired little girl wearing thick glasses, from the beautiful woman in front of everyone, can't find the shadow of that year at all. The fashionable and unassuming dress, just the right light makeup, made the female students gather around one after another and chat. After chatting non-stop, some unmarried male classmates couldn't get away from Lei Lei, and Liu Chuan was very jealous.
Of course, men talk about heroes with wine. Everyone cherishes the friendship they made in junior high school. After a while, the atmosphere on the wine table becomes lively. Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan's drinking capacity is about the same. It was watered by the white wine of the thief Liu Chuan's father. Now Zhuang Rui's head injury is also More, naturally, it was a cup to dry wine, and from time to time, he also talked about the scandals of his classmates here, which attracted bursts of laughter.
After eating a meal for more than two hours, Liu Chuan was naturally a big deal of money. Originally, Liu Chuan planned to invite everyone to Kara, but as the Spring Festival was approaching, each family had some things to do. The party ended with laughter and memories, and the students also left contact information with each other.
After returning home, he saw his mother's busy and lonely figure in the kitchen. Thinking of the warm scene at the party just now, Zhuang Rui suddenly felt whether his choice to stay in Zhonghai to work was wrong. For a moment, he thought about it, and the existence of aura in his eyes seemed to change something.
"Xiao Rui, come and help your mother oil the charred leaves." The mother's voice came from the kitchen, which also interrupted Zhuang Rui's thoughts.
P: I saw some people in the book review that a classmate party is just pretending to step on people, and it is not true. At least outsiders feel that the relationship between students in junior high school is still very pure. It looks very cool to step on people, but the faint classmate friendship can also make everyone have a lot of good memories. As for I worked in the fourth grade of Yuanwai Primary School, and the result was that I was invited by my parents. The result was that I was beaten. Now that I think about it, it's quite funny. Er, this chapter came out after watching the ball code. I wrote it from four o'clock at night until now. I went to bed. Brothers, let's If it's okay, just give me some reward and flower recommendation to comfort me...
