I Don’t Want To Be Popular

A group of people took care of the teacher in shifts for five days, and someone came from the teacher's hometown.

Everyone just happened to be about to start school, so they said goodbye to each other and went home to prepare for the start of school.

September 2nd.

At Haiqin High Speed ​​Railway Station.

Wearing a goose-yellow suspender dress and sunglasses, Wang Lixin, dressed in a cool summer dress, was carrying a suitcase, and her parents beside her also had large and small bags.

Since she started school late, the classmates were almost gone. When it was her turn, there were no more classmates to see them off.

She hung up her earplugs and looked around unwillingly, as if she was waiting for something.

Until the end, when she walked into the station with her parents, she didn't see half of her classmates.

"Hmph, I've been with you for six days, and worked together to take care of Teacher Sima, but you didn't come to send me off when I left, it's boring."

...

On the other hand, Chen Chuan's house was very lively today.

This is the anniversary of his great-grandfather.

Grandpa, also the father of Grandpa Chen Chuan, the old man has a strong body, longevity and longevity. He lived to 102 years old in one breath before going west.

The Chen family is a common surname in the Du family village, and half the village's people came here that day.

The descendants of the Chen family all wore decent dark formal clothes and went to the grave with a solemn expression.

The cemetery is not far from the village, and there is a mighty group of people, and Chen Chuan is walking in it.

The smell of fireworks and incense lingered, firecrackers opened their way ahead, and the sharp sound of suona went straight into the sky.

Grandpa has four sons, and each son has four or five sons, that is, there are more than 20 people in Chen Chuan's direct line, and there are nearly 30 people of the same generation.

Among the peers, some are older, and some are married and have children, with little children of three or four years old.

Therefore, the length of the team can be imagined.

The genes of the old grandfather of the Chen family are good, and the younger generations are all handsome and handsome, and they wear the charm of suits or tunic suits.

In the ancestral tomb area of ​​the Chen family, dozens of people knelt down and worshipped with the sound of firecrackers.

Chen Chuan felt the concept of bloodline of ethnic groups here, which is a bond rooted in blood and soul, and has nothing to do with time and space.

This smoky worship gave Chen Chuan a new understanding of this place, and a sense of belonging and clan filled his heart.

In a trance, it seems that he is a native of this world, and his blood and soul are full of blood marks.

The sky in early September is infinitely blue, with birds flying by, green trees and long white clouds.

The pungent smell of burning paper and incense in the air now makes people feel at ease.

After the worship activity, everyone was on their way back, and the atmosphere was not so solemn and depressing.

Some people have started talking in low voices, sharing cigarettes with each other, talking about stocks, houses, cars, business and other topics.

This also reminded Chen Chuan to bring back the Maserati he ordered before school starts.

The women do not go to the grave, but cook in the Chen family courtyard, and when you look around, they are all Yingying and Yanyan.

Chen Chuan's peers, married, naturally have wives and children, and those who haven't married, girlfriends are also here.

There are more than a dozen cars parked in front of the compound, all brands, including BBA.

The people who came back from worship came back one after another and entered the Chen family compound.

Chen Chuan's uncle took Chen's father aside, handed him a cigarette, and said, "Fourth, Chen Shan is about to get married. He is looking at the car recently. Would you recommend it?"

"Look at the car? How much is missing?" Father Chen asked directly.

"My family originally had some money, but I recently saw a project and wanted to invest. Therefore, when Chen Shan bought a car here, there was a shortfall of 150,000 yuan," said the uncle.

"My hot pot restaurant has been out of business recently... A new home opened on the opposite street, attracting all my customers. Now I have two options. One is to rebuild the store, work with him, and compete with him.

The second is to close down and change careers. Right now, when I'm spending money, I can't help you with the purchase of a car. "Father Chen was embarrassed to say.

"No hurry, no hurry, let's talk about it later when we drink." Uncle said.

Not far away, a young man with a flat head slapped Chen Chuan on the shoulder.

"Chen Chuan, school is about to start, at Haiqin University?" The young man took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Soft flying.

"Well." Chen Chuan looked at the young man in front of him.

Chen Shan, 24 years old, graduated from Yanshan University.

Chen Shan said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet my girlfriend, she's pretty."

Chen Shan took Chen Chuan, walked into the compound, and shouted at a girl in a pink dress, "Jiaojiao."

The girl looked back and smiled, jumping over, her long legs attracting attention.

It's this girl in a pink skirt. Chen Chuan had noticed her in the crowd before, and he thought to himself, how can anyone wear pink on this anniversary today? Ganqing is the girlfriend of cousin Chen Shan.

"Let me introduce, this is Ling Jiao, my girlfriend. Jiaojiao, this is my cousin, Chen Chuan, who is the pavilion of our family." Chen Shan said with smoke from under his nose.

Ling Jiao smiled charmingly: "Then can you learn from your brother and smoke less, you can see that others don't smoke."

"Men, what's the point of drinking and smoking. It's not that he doesn't smoke, he doesn't smoke in front of people. If you don't believe me, you touch his pocket." Chen Shan also smiled and touched Chen Chuan's pants pocket.

"Look at your brother's elegant appearance, you'll be damned if you can touch it..." Ling Jiao was smiling when she saw a box of Yellow Crane Tower 1916 pulled out of Chen Chuan's pocket.

"Yeah, 1916! Chen Chuan, you can do it too, you've smoked more than a hundred cigarettes." Chen Shan said.

Chen Chuan smiled helplessly, this was his mother's gift in the morning, and said, "If you see someone, give one, it's not to blame for many people."

Just when Chen Chuan was embarrassed, several young people came over.

The second brother Chen He, the third brother Chen Hu, the fourth brother Chen Hai, the sixth brother Chen Xing, and the seventh sister Chen Ziyue.

These young people are all the same grandfather, and they are Chen Chuan's family.

"Brother, congratulations, congratulations, ready to get married."

"Is this my sister-in-law? What's it called?"

"Brother, sister-in-law is so beautiful, how could you be deceived?"

Several young people chatted.

As the boss, Chen Shan divided the Yellow Crane Tower 1916 into points and began to tell the love history between him and his girlfriend.

Chen Chuan stepped aside, took a cucumber from the vegetable basket beside the well, and took a bite. It was crisp and sweet.

Looking at the nearly 100 men and women in the compound, I sighed that the Chen clan was really prosperous, and this rural compound was big enough. Presumably the grandfather of the Chen family was also a rich owner back then.

Zhang Xiangyun came over, stuffed Chen Chuan with a thick pancake, and said, "Eat it while it's hot... By the way, Chen Chuan, you can see that everyone has a girlfriend, and you are not too young. I will give it to Xiao Pei's family. Hurry up, if you want the contact information, you can take the initiative. If Xiao Pei likes you, it will be easier to talk about the bride price."

Before Chen Chuan could speak, Zhang Xiangyun said again, "Look at your sister-in-law, Ling Jiao, right? She is so pretty. But Xiao Pei is prettier than her. If you can bring Xiao Pei, you are the Chen family. The most promising cub."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Chen Chuan smiled.

"Why not? If you can bring Xiao Pei, you will be the star of the Chen family. If you can bring Nazha, then you will be the star of the whole village. By then, not only you, but our family's prestige will have to rise like a rocket. ." Zhang Xiangyun said, and went to cook again.

During this time, villagers from the same village came to send incense paper one after another, which shows the reputation of the old man of the Chen family in Shili Ba Village.

While waiting for the noon feast to start.

Chen Chuan stood on the open space outside the courtyard to bask in the sun.

At this time, Chen Chuan saw Ling Jiao carrying a garbage bag and walking outside the hospital, looking like she was going to throw garbage.

When Ling Jiao saw Chen Chuan, she said, "It's you. What are you doing out here? You don't come out to smoke, right? I can tell you that you should smoke less."

"Don't smoke, come out and breathe, there are too many people in the courtyard." Chen Chuan said.

"Your village is well planned. It's all paved with asphalt roads. Unlike our village, it's still cement roads." Ling Jiao chatted casually.

As she spoke, she moved her long and strong legs, walked to the trash can, threw the trash into the trash can, and said, "Your brother said, let you be the best man, and then you will have to come."

"I'll go if I have time."

"You must be free." Ling Jiao said, walking back to the courtyard.

Soon, it was noon.

at the banquet.

Chen Shan opened a bottle of Great Wall dry red and poured it on the table for several younger siblings, as well as his girlfriend's girlfriends: "Brothers, you have never been drinking since you were young. Now that you are in college, you can learn to drink a little bit. Entering the society, you can’t drink, so today my brothers will accompany you to drink some.”

Because Chen Chuan has the permanent effect of [Suspension Pill], there is no pressure to drink it, but he has never drank red wine very much, and he can't taste it right now.

After a few sips, I have the opportunity to buy a few bottles of good wine, such as the 1982 Lafite or something. After all, there is now a permanent [Double Consumption Rebate], and he is qualified to taste these high-end wines that he never dared to think about before.

After a few drinks, the faces of several young people on the table were all red.

Chen Chuan accidentally discovered that Ling Jiao seemed to drink well, and she had the clearest eyes in the whole table.

"By the way, Chen Chuan, I'm going to the auto show to buy a car in two days. Will you come with me?" Chen Shan embraced Chen Chuan's shoulder and said, "Brother, I didn't realize that you drink well before. , you have to help me block the wine, and your sister-in-law and I will treat you well afterwards."

This wine has been drank until evening.

When Chen Chuan returned home, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Bang!

The door of the main hall was pushed open roughly, and Zhang Xiangyun came out in a hurry, carrying a bag in his hand.

"Your son's house has not even landed, and you still lend money to others for others to start a business. You can really do it! The hot pot restaurant has no business, and the money is not kept for decoration, and it is lent to others for others to buy a car? Why are you so heartless? Good." Zhang Xiangyun said, strode out of the yard, opened her red jeep car, and went up to start the car.

Father Chen chased after him and patted the car door: "Hey, where are you going? Listen to me explaining to you that Chen Shan is about to get married, but the wife's family still needs a car of at least 200,000 yuan..."

Boom!

Zhang Xiangyun started the car and drove away.

Chen Chuan was confused, didn't know what was going on, and didn't dare to ask.

Father Chen watched the car go away, turned around to look at Chen Chuan, and continued to explain, "You are also there today, do you have a table with Chen Shan? Did Chen Shan tell you what the wife's family wanted?"

"Nothing to say." Chen Chuan said.

"The wife's family is dissatisfied with this marriage. The two children have made up their own minds, so they have to get the certificate. The wife asked Chen Shan's family to get out of the house, get out of the car and pay three gold. Your uncle bought the house for Chen Shan, and it is in the city. In the East District, although it is a small apartment, it is also a new house, and it is enough for two people. I just bought a house and had no money to buy a car, so I borrowed 100,000 to them. Father Chen said.

"Then what happened to the hot pot restaurant my mother said?" Chen Chuan asked.

"Recently, a new hot pot restaurant has opened across the street. The decoration is very good, and the food is not expensive. The business of our family has gone there. We originally prepared 100,000 yuan, and we will re-install it after thinking about it to improve our competitiveness... ..." Father Chen hesitated, "It was your mother who said she wanted to reload. What I meant was that reloading is a lot of work, effort and money, and the effect is not necessarily good."

Chen Chuan understood it, co-authoring was about lending 100,000 yuan to the uncle's family.

The two father and son stood in the courtyard staring with wide eyes.

Father Chen is 43 years old this year, but he already has gray hair on his temples and looks older.

"What should I do now?" Chen Chuan asked.

"Your mother asked me to get the 100,000 yuan back. She wants to renovate the hot pot restaurant. If she doesn't come back, she won't come back. She will go back to your grandma's house." Father Chen rubbed his face with his hands, squatted down and scratched his head, "Just now If you transfer it to someone else, how can you go back and ask for it, Xiangyun is too willful."

"How much cash do you have on hand?" Chen Chuan asked.

Father Chen looked up at Chen Chuan, thought about it, and said, "It's less than 50,000 yuan, and there is another 400,000 yuan that I have saved on a regular basis, and I can't get it out. That's what we saved for you to buy a house over the years."
