rebirth of cataclysm

Hu Mingchen got up in the morning, did some exercise, and was planning to tidy up, buy some things, and then go back to his hometown.

As a result, Zhang Meng called Hu Mingchen before he even left the house.

"Are you still in Liangcheng?"

"Yes, but I am planning to go back to my hometown."

"In this case, you don't want to go back for the time being. Yu Sisi is back, let's get together."

"This, I..."

"Why, do you want you to walk on the front foot and we take the car on the back foot to find you in Duge?"

"No, that's not what you mean. Okay, then I'll go back slowly. Where should I wait for you? At what time and where will we meet?" Hu Mingchen quickly stopped.

Instead of asking them to follow him back to Duge, it would be better to meet him in the city.

If the two of them pursue Doug, there's no telling what news will come out.

When it comes to gossip about rural women, especially those like Grandma Zhong Ying, they dare to speculate on anything and spread anything.

Don't say that Hu Mingchen brought two beautiful girlfriends home, or that Hu Mingchen is rich and wants to marry two girls at once. That would be embarrassing.

"I heard that Hongmei Mountain has been developed into a scenic spot. How about we go to Hongmei Mountain?"

"That place is still under construction and installation and debugging everywhere. It's not much to see if you go there. Let's wait until everything is repaired and looks beautiful before going there." Hu Mingchen just came back from a trip, so he didn't want to go there again.

Now there are some people there who know Hu Mingchen. If he goes there again, maybe Jacques will think that Hu Mingchen doesn't trust him and wants to make a secret visit.

There is no need to create some misunderstandings.

"Then let's go to the square. I heard that a new coast coffee has opened there. How about we go and sit there?"

"You've just come back and you already know what new store has opened where. It's quite impressive. Okay, let's go to Coastal Coffee."

"What? I heard it from my classmate yesterday, so it's settled, let's meet for coffee at the coast at eleven o'clock."

Hu Mingchen looked at his watch and saw that there was still some time before eleven o'clock, so he simply asked Shang Guoping to go shopping.

It’s the New Year, so you have to bring something home. If you don’t need it at home, you can give some to relatives and friends nearby. When Fang Guoping returns to his hometown, he also needs to bring some to the elderly.

In line with the idea that the wealth should not go to outsiders, Hu Mingchen and the others first drove to Xingsheng Supermarket and picked up a lot of things from the supermarket. Then they went to Hongyuan Shopping Center not far away and bought some shoes, clothes and other things.

Don't think that Hu Mingchen is rich now, so now everything in his home is imported.

In fact, this is not the case. Due to the deep-rooted lifestyle and geographical restrictions, his family's life is actually not exaggerated and luxurious. The clothes he wears and used at home are better than others, and the price has changed from dozens of yuan to hundreds or even thousands.

Just blocks.

Take shoes as an example. Including Hu Mingchen himself, the shoes worn by his family rarely cost more than 1,000 yuan.

You can say that they are rustic, or you can say that they have not forgotten their roots. Anyway, they are not as famous as gold bowls, silver chopsticks and Renren international brands as the outside world imagines.

If there are any valuable items at home, they were brought back by Hu Mingchen from overseas or from big cities.

For example, Hu Jianjun has a watch worth 250,000 yuan. Hu Mingchen bought it from outside and gave it to him.

Mother Jiang Yucai owns a set of jewelry that is very valuable. A pendant necklace alone is worth more than 600,000 yuan. It was also made by Hu Mingchen. Otherwise, if they had to buy it themselves, 60,000 yuan would probably be too much.

In normal life in his hometown, Hu Jianjun might even put on rain boots and go to the fields.

After filling the trunk with all the purchased goods, Hu Mingchen asked Fang Guoping to take him to Coast Coffee and then drive back. After he got together, he took a taxi.

Knowing that Hu Mingchen was meeting Zhang Meng and Yu Sisi, Fang Guoping also knew that it would not be a good idea for him to stay, so he left Hu Mingchen on the roadside and left.

Not seeing Zhang Meng and Yu Sisi at the door, Hu Mingchen simply walked into Coastal Coffee to find a seat to wait for them.

Coffee is actually not popular in small and medium-sized cities in the mainland. The main purpose of coming here is not for coffee, but just because they need a better environment for gathering.

Like this Coastal Coffee, it is better to say that it is a coffee shop than a leisure bar.

There are chairs, booths, and private rooms on the upper and lower floors. The decoration is quite good, at least it looks like that. It is very clean and tidy, and quiet Western music is played softly.

In addition to lemonade and coffee, the drinks provided also include milk tea, red wine, and other drinks and snacks.

There were not many people inside at this time. Hu Mingchen followed the waiter in a black jacket and tie up the wooden stairs to the second floor, and found a booth by the window to sit down.

The windows are huge floor-to-ceiling windows with blinds, giving a good view.

Sitting here, you can see the wide square and the busy traffic of Biaoshan Avenue.

A hotel building is under construction next to the square. It is the Xingsheng Hotel, which is built according to five-star hotel standards. When it is completed, it will become one of Liangcheng's landmark buildings and the highest-level hospitality hotel in the area.

"Sir, what would you like to order?" the waiter asked politely after Hu Mingchen sat down.

"Bring me a cup of mocha, and some plates of raisins, pistachios, dried apricots and other snacks. I see you also have sandwiches, so please have some too."

Hu Mingchen didn't know what Zhang Meng and Yu Sisi liked to drink, so he just ordered his own coffee, and when they arrived, they would order their own.

The waiter had just brought Hu Mingchen's order, and he had just had time to take a sip of the coffee when Zhang Meng and Yu Sisi came hand in hand.

Through the window, Hu Mingchen saw the two of them getting out of a taxi. They had obviously dressed up.

As soon as she stood firm, Zhang Meng looked up and saw Hu Mingchen waving. She took Yu Sisi's arm and walked inside.

Yu Sisi wore a beige windbreaker with a cashmere sweater and skirt, and a pair of half-high brown leather boots.

Zhang Meng wore a white thin down jacket, a hat on his head, jeans and black boots underneath.

The way they dress and walk is full of youthful beauty.

Just a short distance from the roadside to Coastal Coffee, Hu Mingchen noticed that no less than four or five men on the road were looking at them, which is the so-called return rate.

"Sit down, please sit down. I don't know what you like to drink, so I didn't order your drink. Waiter, give them the order. Please order whatever you want."

Before Zhang Meng and the others came forward, Hu Mingchen had already stood up. This is the basic courtesy and quality that a man should have.

"Don't worry, we will never be polite to you, Sisi, you go first. Order and kill him." Zhang Meng took the order and handed it to Yu Sisi.

Haha, is Hu Mingchen afraid of being slaughtered now?

Not to mention just ordering some drinks and food, even ordering from this cafe, for Hu Mingchen, it was just a drop in the bucket, just a few seconds of his income.

So Hu Mingchen just smiled and didn't take Zhang Meng's words seriously.

Yu Sisi ordered a cup of cappuccino and a cup of hot juice, while Zhang Meng directly ordered a pot of coffee, melon seeds and peanuts, and three more plates.

"Did Sisi just arrive this morning?" Hu Mingchen asked, raising his cup of coffee.

Yu Sisi quickly put down the stirring spoon and picked up the coffee: "To be precise, I got home early in the morning."

"I'd better tell him that you are in Liangcheng, otherwise she won't know." Zhang Meng added.

"I told you I would stay for two days. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a year or two." Hu Mingchen pursed his lips and put down his coffee cup.

"Yes, yes, we haven't sat together much since you went to college." Yu Sisi said.

Yu Sisi has a delicate oval-shaped face with fair and tender skin. She seems a little afraid to look directly at Hu Mingchen, and looks away every time.

"That's right, that's why I suggested that we get together today to catch up on old times. Sisi, you are in school, is there anyone chasing you? Haha."

Next, the three of them drank and ate, chatting about their college lives and some interesting things in middle school, such as when they often went to the library together.

In contrast, Hu Mingchen didn't say much about his life in school, leaving more opportunities for the two beauties to narrate.

"...What, someone gave you flowers, but you stuffed them into the trash can in front of that person. Zhang Meng, are you going a little too far? That person must be very sad.

"Hu Mingchen was shocked when he heard that Zhang Meng had such an experience.

The reason why Yu Sisi was not too surprised was that Zhang Meng had mentioned this matter to her before, but it was not as detailed as the face-to-face description now.

"I don't care, whoever calls him a toad wants to eat swan meat. That kind of person should teach him a lesson. Don't think that you can chase a girl with a bouquet of flowers." Zhang Meng said contemptuously.

"Haha, yes, yes, you two are like swans. Others can really only be toads." Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

"Not everyone else, you don't count..." At this point, Zhang Meng realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, and hurriedly corrected herself in embarrassment, "I didn't mean anything else, don't get me wrong.

, I say this because you are our friend, so of course you are not a toad, Yu Sisi, don’t you think so? "

In order to resolve the embarrassment, Zhang Meng also brought Yu Sisi in.

"Yes, yes, it doesn't count." What can Yu Sisi say? Could it be that Hu Mingchen is also a toad? Of course it is impossible.

Hu Mingchen felt a little sad for the boys chasing them.

Because they are friends, the other people chasing them are not strangers. They are just friends, but with them, they have become toads.

"Thank you. I'm honored. We have been friends for many years, and we are still alumni..."

Before Hu Mingchen finished speaking, a discordant sound came from behind, which made Hu Mingchen and the others feel disgusted.

"Oh, you are really carefree. You thought you were a good bird, but as soon as you turned around, you immediately started messing around with others. It's really despicable and shameless."

Hu Mingchen turned around with a frown and a sullen face, and saw Huang Tao's pitted face, which looked ugly as if someone owed him millions.
