Reborn since 2005

Chapter 287 Old Classmate

The next day, Yan Xin got up early.

This was the first time he slept in this new house, and he felt pretty good. There was no such thing as being unable to sleep because of bed selection.

Probably because this is the house he spent money to build, it is his real home, and he has an innate sense of identity, so he will not reject this new environment.

I had a pretty good sleep.

After getting up in the morning, I went to the balcony and looked outside. I saw the sun rising in the east and there was no cloud in the sky. It was a good weather.

When I went home last year, it was snowing and the weather was so cold.

It's not that cold this time. Maybe it's because there's a leap month in July this year. The beginning of spring on the 4th is already the 12th, so it's not that cold anymore.

Standing on the balcony wearing only pajamas, the morning wind blew over, still feeling a little cold on my face.

But the cold was acceptable at that time.

After the wind blew for half a minute, the man woke up completely. He looked over at the kitchen and saw smoke rising from the kitchen. It was his father who had gotten up to make breakfast for him.

Wearing cotton slippers, I went downstairs and washed my face and brushed my teeth in the kitchen.

Breakfast is relatively simple, just add some slices of meat, an egg, and some chopped green onion to a bowl of rice noodles, and that's it.

After Yan Xin washed up, he waited for a few minutes. Breakfast was already ready and he started eating.

Before eating, he also sent a message to Feng Xi: "I have already started eating, when will you come out?"

I quickly received a reply from Feng Xi: "I'm ready to leave now."

After seeing this reply, Yan Xin became a bit faster when eating fans.

A big bowl of rice noodles was finished in only two or three minutes.

Dad Yan looked at him and couldn't help but say to him: "Slow down, don't rush for a minute or two, and don't choke."

"It's okay," Yan Xin said after finishing the rice noodles and drinking up all the soup, "this rice noodles won't choke people."

After eating a bowl of rice noodles, your body becomes warm.

Then he went upstairs to change clothes, took his wallet and mobile phone, went to his father's bedroom, picked out two bottles of wine from the gifts he brought, then walked out of the house, entered the garage and put the Mercedes-Benz

We drove out and took a detour onto the road in the village.

After getting on the bumpy dirt road, he didn't drive very far when he saw Feng Xi standing on the side road where he got off yesterday, waiting for him.

After the car stopped, Feng Xi opened the door and got into the passenger seat and said, "It's winter, why did you get up so early? I wasn't even up when you sent the message."

Yan Xin was stunned: "You didn't have breakfast?"

"Yeah, I was afraid of wasting your time, so I didn't have breakfast," Feng Xi said, "But it doesn't matter. It's good to have breakfast when you get to the county, and you can eat better. I've already told the people in the store

Come on, prepare breakfast for me."

Then he asked Yan Xin: "Have you had breakfast so early?"

Yan Xin said: "I ate a bowl of noodles."

"Would you like to eat some more when we get to the county seat?" Feng Xi said with a smile, "I'll treat you."

"Forget it," Yan Xin shook his head and said, "I ate a big bowl of noodles and my stomach is already full."

Forget it on normal days. Although I ate a big bowl of rice noodles, I didn’t feel hungry very much. When driving to the county town, I had to digest some food along the way. When I arrived at the county town, my stomach was empty, and I could eat something more.

Can eat it.

However, I have to meet Xiao Shiyu today, so it is not easy to have breakfast with Feng Xi.

After spending a long time with his wife from his previous life, he was really worried that something else would happen.

If you can reduce the time you spend together, then do so.

Feng Xi stopped talking about this and talked about other things with him.

This time it had nothing to do with the online store business, but to talk about her brother's affairs.

She wanted to know how Feng Chen and Ruan Mengyao got along, and who was the one who gave more and who was wronged in this relationship.

She was still a little worried that her future sister-in-law would be too strong.

Although every time she talked to her brother on the phone about these things, her brother said that Ruan Mengyao was a very good woman, but she could not fully believe her brother's words and still wanted to hear the objective evaluation of bystanders.

Yan Xin also told Feng Xi some details of his observations. In this narrative, he had many praises for Ruan Mengyao. He felt that she was a virtuous woman and that Feng Chen was able to marry such a wife.

A very lucky thing.

"Is it really that good?" Feng Xi had some doubts.

"According to what I have observed, she is indeed a pretty good person. She has a good temper, is not materialistic, is also very good to your brother, is willing to be a green leaf, and is a good wife." Yan Xin said.

Feng Xi said oh, and then asked: "What about her sister? How is she?"

When he said this, he looked at Yan Xin's expression seriously.

"Her sister, Ruan Siyao?" Yan Xin thought for a moment, "I have only met her a few times, and I don't know her well. I only know that she is a senior in high school like you, her grades are not as good as yours, and she has a more cheerful personality."

Feng Xi didn't see any clues from his face, so he asked again: "Are you beautiful?"

"It's not bad," Yan Xin said, "A girl of seventeen or eighteen is quite youthful."

"Do you like her?" Feng Xi finally couldn't hold back and asked.

Yan Xin was stunned, glanced at Feng Xi, and laughed out loud: "How is that possible? I don't have that feeling for her at all, okay?"

Seeing that his expression didn't look like he was lying, Feng Xi felt more at ease and said, "My brother always told me that he wanted to match you up with his future sister-in-law. I thought you two had a relationship."

Yan Xin smiled and shook his head: "Where did this come from? I have only met her a few times. Your brother and her sister are always there every time. They have never met alone. What is the basis of our relationship?"

As he spoke, he deliberately pointed out: "And I am now a person who has stepped out of society. How can I have a relationship with a student who is still in middle school? Isn't this delaying his future?"

Feng Xi understood what he meant and rolled her eyes at him.

But soon a smile appeared on his face again, and he said: "You should think so. It's okay to talk to a college student about a date, but talking to a high school student will really delay his studies."

"Isn't that right?" Yan Xin said.

Seeing that Feng Xi understood his intention, he felt very relieved and said earnestly: "Middle school students should focus on their studies. No one with conscience should attack those students."

Feng Xi nodded: "You are absolutely right."

I thought to myself: "In a few months, I will no longer be a middle school student."

Such a conversation could be regarded as untying a knot in her heart, and she became much happier.

In the ensuing chat, we were talking and laughing.

He also mentioned that Feng Chen would not be able to go home until the 29th, and all the delicious food at home was reserved for her brother and future sister-in-law, and she was not allowed to eat it.

But she didn't care that much, she just lamented her parents' partiality, and then said with a smile:

"They are so partial. I eat and drink outside, so I don't have any psychological pressure."

Yan Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just feel free to spend. It's all your own money. It doesn't matter."

Feng Xi now has several million in savings. She can live any kind of life in this small county. The so-called delicious food in her family is nothing more than chicken, duck and fish. To her now, it really doesn't matter.

Nothing.

Of course she wouldn't fight for a bite to eat, but she just felt that her parents were a little too partial when all the good things were reserved for her brother.

If you want to eat well, you can do it anytime.

Yan Xin also ate outside with her, and also went to that dormitory to eat. The food was better than ordinary festivals in the countryside, but not as good as the New Year's Eve dinner.

Feng Xi did not tell her family that she had so much wealth. On the one hand, she also wanted to keep her wealth private and felt that it was too unsafe in the countryside.

On the other hand, she is also a little worried that her parents will force her to hand over the money she finally earned.

When parents use the grace of upbringing as an issue, children are at a moral disadvantage.

There is no way to quantify the grace of upbringing.

You can ask for one hundred thousand yuan, or you can ask for one billion.

She has millions in savings, but her parents are doing farm work in the village. It is impossible to say that there is no moral pressure.

To live a better life outside would be even more stressful.

But parents who are partial and favor boys over girls can indeed alleviate the guilt in their hearts, so that they can eat delicious food and play fun games, and they can also feel at ease.

Of course Yan Xin hopes that Feng Xi can live a happier life, and he also supports her idea.

Driving and chatting, time flies by.

The car drove into the town and entered the cement road.

Not long after, we entered the county seat again.

Yan Xin did not send Feng Xi directly to the online store, but drove to a restaurant under Feng Xi's guidance.

That restaurant also serves breakfast. When the car arrived, the restaurant was full.

Several employees of the online store had breakfast there and reserved a seat for Feng Xiba.

After Feng Xi got out of the car, he asked Yan Xin: "Aren't you going to leave without eating something?"

Yan Xin shook his head: "No, I'm still full now."

In fact, when I smelled the aroma wafting from the store, I still wanted to eat some.

I just didn't want to cause trouble, so I rejected such a suggestion.

The per capita income in this county is very low, but the consumption on breakfast is not low. A breakfast often costs dozens of dollars.

I don’t know when the breakfast culture became popular. They call it “premature breakfast”, and they eat quite sumptuously, even more sumptuously than the other two meals.

Some people also like to drink wine early in the morning, making their faces turn red early in the morning.

Some breakfasts take more than an hour.

Now this restaurant is full of people, and there are several tables outside, and they are all full.

Many of them had their faces turned red from drinking and were talking loudly.

There was a time in Yan Xin's life when he envied such people and felt that they lived a very carefree life.

Just like he envied those who danced in the square, only those who have no pressure in life can have such a lifestyle.

You can't be cool when you're a worker.

Many migrant workers eat breakfast on the road, eating while walking.

Even if you go to a breakfast restaurant to eat, you will only eat the simplest one, and you will finish it in a few minutes. There is no leisure and elegance at all. In such a breakfast restaurant, you can meet some people, order a table of dishes, and eat and drink at the same time.

.

But there was nothing to envy in this life. He thought that he could live such a life at any time.

But after having such conditions, I realized that such a lifestyle was not a big deal, and suddenly I no longer had that interest.

Feng Xi got out of the car. He did not drive away immediately. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xiao Shiyu:

"I've arrived at the county seat, where should we meet?"

Soon, Xiao Shiyu replied: "So early? I just finished breakfast. Have you had breakfast?"

Yan Xin: "I've already eaten."

Xiao Shiyu: "Then I'll pick you up at the Workers' and Peasants' Bridge."

Gongnongqiao is the terminus of the minibus that Yan Xin and his friends take to the county town. Everyone knows this place, so it is unlikely that they will be unable to find it.

In Xiao Shiyu's imagination, Yan Xin could only come here in a minibus, and he should be at Gongnongqiao now.

Yan Xin: "I drove here..."

Xiao Shiyu: "Then do you know BBK Supermarket? I'll wait for you at the supermarket gate."

Bubugao Supermarket can be regarded as a landmark building in this county. It was only built a few years ago and many people know the place.

Yan Xin had actually never been to the Bubugao Supermarket in the county town in his life, but he had been there more than once in his previous life, so he was no stranger to it, so he replied with one word: "Okay."

Then he started the car and headed towards the Bubugao Supermarket.

After going around a few streets, we finally got there.

From a distance, I saw a girl wearing a white down jacket standing there in the parking lot next to the supermarket gate. The figure looked familiar, and I felt she was Xiao Shiyu.

Going a little further, I am sure that it is Xiao Shiyu.

Then he honked the horn a few times.

Xiao Shiyu was looking at the cars on both sides at this time. When he heard the horn, he looked over and saw a very new Mercedes-Benz driving towards him.

I have some suspicions in my heart, but I'm not sure.

The car approached and stopped in front of her. The window rolled down and Yan Xin's face was revealed. He smiled and said to her: "Old classmate, get in the car."

Xiao Shiyu opened the car door and got into the car, and asked curiously: "Did you buy this car?"

Yan Xin nodded: "Yes, I bought it a few days ago. I thought it would be inconvenient to take the train back, so I bought a car."

Xiao Shiyu smiled and said: "Okay, now you are rich, you have built a house and bought a car."

Yan Xin said: "Just so-so."

She didn't see the shocked expression in Xiao Shiyu's eyes, and felt a little disappointed in her heart, feeling that this pretense was not successful at all.

——I have only been working for more than a year, and I am already driving a Mercedes-Benz. Shouldn't you be surprised?

He thought so in his heart.

Of course, he couldn't say such childish words, he could only think about it.

Xiao Shiyu was really not too surprised, because she knew that Yan Xin was the creator of some popular online songs. When she watched the Spring Festival Gala on Provincial TV yesterday, she saw Yan Xin in the column of the songwriter of "Fireworks Easily Cold" sung by Gu Ru.

Xin's name.

She didn't know that Yan Xin had opened a company, but she felt that since she had written so many popular songs, she would not be short of money.

Buying a Mercedes-Benz is not a particularly strange thing.

After getting in the car, she fastened her seat belt and then guided Yan Xin to drive to the community where her family lived.

The community where she lives is not far from here, only half a mile away, and it doesn't take long to walk there.

Yan Xin drove slowly, and under her guidance, he drove the car into the community and parked it in the parking space.

The economy of the small county town is not very good, and there are not many people with cars now. Some people who were originally in the county town have returned to the countryside to celebrate the New Year at this time, so the parking spaces are quite sufficient and you can park in them.

This is a newly built community, and Xiao Shiyu’s parents just bought a house here last year.

After getting out of the car, Yan Xin took out two bottles of wine from the trunk.

Xiao Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "When we old classmates meet, why do you bring wine? This is too polite."

Yan Xin said with a smile: "This is the courtesy you should have. My dad also specifically told me that we are poor and we must not lose our etiquette."

Xiao Shiyu glanced at his Mercedes-Benz and said, "It's a bit too ironic for someone who drives a Mercedes-Benz to say this. You are called poor. I'm afraid there aren't many rich people in our county."

Yan Xin said: "At least compared to your family, our family is just poor."

In fact, his total assets now total tens of millions, and he is not poorer than Xiao Shiyu's family.

However, Xiao Shiyu didn't know how much wealth he had and couldn't judge. He just said: "With this Mercedes-Benz, you have nothing to do with poverty."

He didn't stop Yan Xin from coming to the door with two bottles of wine.

For people who can afford a Mercedes-Benz, giving these two bottles of wine is nothing.

They have already brought it, so there is no need to be polite.

She was already thinking about what kind of gift she would give Yan Xin in return when he returned.

She took him upstairs and asked as he walked: "Does your dad drink?"

Yan Xin shook his head: "I don't drink. I used to drink a little, but I haven't drank in the past few years and I have stopped drinking."

"That's good. Drinking is not a healthy thing in the first place." Xiao Shiyu said.

I originally planned to give him two bottles of Maotai as a return gift, but he didn't drink, so there was no need to return the gift.

The wine Yan Xin brought over was also famous, but not as expensive as Maotai.

However, she doesn't have much idea about whether it's expensive or not, because the Maotai at home was given as a gift by others, and she didn't buy it with her own money.

Then he asked: "Does your dad smoke?"

If you smoke, you can give a flower as a gift.

There are also some cigarettes given by others at home. Her father can't smoke that many, so it's okay to take one as a gift in return.

Yan Xin shook his head again: "My dad doesn't smoke either, he has quit smoking."

After saying this, I suddenly remembered that his father didn't smoke or drink. He still had that habit a few years ago.

But later on, my family was in trouble and I stopped smoking and drinking.

It was not that easy to quit smoking at the beginning. I grew my own tobacco and rolled it into a small trumpet for smoking.

I simply stopped smoking later.

Making that kind of choice has nothing to do with health, it's just a matter of not having money and having to save money.

Maybe, his dad still likes to drink, but he just can't bear to do it.

I made a decision in my heart to open a bottle of good wine during the Chinese New Year.

Even though he doesn't like drinking, he still has to have a drink with his father.

Xiao Shiyu didn't know what he was thinking, so she asked again: "Then does your dad like to drink tea?"

If you like drinking tea, there are also some tea leaves sent to your home by others. I heard that some of them are quite expensive. It would be nice to send a box of tea leaves to you.

Yan Xin smiled awkwardly and said: "My dad is a farmer. He usually drinks boiled water and has not developed the habit of drinking tea."

Xiao Shiyu said oh, feeling troubled and didn't know how to return the gift.

This community was built last year and is also equipped with an elevator. The Xiao family lives on the eleventh floor, so it is quite convenient to take the elevator up.

When they arrived on the eleventh floor, Xiao Shiyu took out the key and opened the door, and said to him with a smile: "My father and mother have gone to work, and now I am the only one at home."

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, looking at the two bottles of wine in his hand, thinking: "I gave your dad a gift, but your dad is not here, what's going on?"

The main reason why he came here was because Xiao Shiyu said that her father wanted to see her, so it was hard to push back.

Unexpectedly, when someone arrived at the door, he was told that his father was not here and had gone to work.

If he had known that Xiao Shiyu was the only one at home, he would not have followed him, or at least he would have waited until his father got off work.

When a man and a woman are alone in a room, many things cannot be explained clearly.

He already has Ai Lili as his girlfriend, and he doesn't want to provoke other women.

Asked: "Then when does your dad get off work?"

Xiao Shiyu said: "He will be back at noon. I still have to prepare lunch. I will have something to eat when he comes back."

It's not yet nine o'clock, which means Yan Xin has to wait here until twelve o'clock noon to see Xiao Shiyu's father.

For more than three hours before that, he had to be alone with Xiao Shiyu.

Thinking of this, I feel a little panicked.

It's not that he's afraid of something happening, he's confident that he can control himself and not act recklessly.

If he really couldn't control himself, something had happened to Feng Xi a long time ago, so he wouldn't be able to control himself again when he got to Xiao Shiyu's place. Although Xiao Shiyu was much more beautiful than Feng Xi, the weight in his heart was...

Obviously she can't compare to Feng Xi, her ex-wife from a previous life.

The main reason is that she is afraid that being alone like this will cause some misunderstandings for Xiao Shiyu and her parents, which is not appropriate.

It's just that I've already arrived here and entered the door. At this time, I can't even say I want to leave.

After entering, Xiao Shiyu closed the door smoothly, handed him a pair of slippers, then took away the two bottles of wine in his hand and placed them next to the TV in the living room.

While asking him to sit down, he asked him: "Would you like something to drink?"

Yan Xin shook his head: "Thank you, I'm not thirsty yet."

Xiao Shiyu said: "My dad has gone to work, so just sit down for a while and help me cook later. When my dad gets off work at noon, let's have a meal together and satisfy him that he wants to see you."

The wish of a great genius."

Yan Xin said awkwardly: "You are my classmate, you know me, I am just a scumbag, how can I be a great talent?"

"Talent is not measured by test scores," Xiao Shiyu said. "As for the songs you composed, no one would be dissatisfied if you say you are a great talent. I like your songs very much, and so does my dad.

Like, he wanted to know how a teenager could write such good lyrics."

"It's just nonsense." Yan Xin could only say this.

He couldn't tell Xiao Shiyu that he had copied all the songs, and that he had already copied the songs whose lyrics and melodies he remembered, and there would be no new works in the future.

Xiao Shiyu glanced at him: "If you are so perfunctory, there is no problem if you tell me, but don't tell my dad like that, otherwise he will think that you look down on him."

Yan Xin suddenly became depressed: "But this is all made up. As a teenager, what experience can I have to write about those emotions?"

"Then you have to find an excuse." Xiao Shiyu said with a smile.

Then, he turned around and walked into a room.

Yan Xin was quite depressed and didn't know what kind of excuses he should find to reasonably explain how he wrote those works.

He has sung dozens of songs, but the total number of songs signed by his name is only about ten or twenty.

I reviewed the content of each of those ten or twenty songs to see if I could find a reasonable explanation.

After Xiao Shiyu entered the room, he came out after a while with a fruit plate containing fruits, melon seeds and peanuts, and placed it on the coffee table next to the sofa where Yan Xin was sitting. He sat on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, smiling.

said:

"Eat whatever you like, but don't be polite to me."

Yan Xin was not polite, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them.

The two of them started chatting while eating.

They were chatting in the living room instead of Xiao Shiyu's room, which also made Yan Xin relax a lot.

They occasionally chat on QQ, but not much.

I don’t know much about how life went after the college entrance examination.

This time, I have an opportunity to deepen our understanding.

Xiao Shiyu mentioned his school and university life, which made Yan Xin a little envious.

During his two lifetimes, he never went to college.

When I was first reborn, I thought about whether I should repeat my studies and get into a good university so that my life could reach a higher level.

But then I thought about it carefully and realized that his academic foundation was already broken in the second year of junior high school. If he wanted to repeat his studies, he would have no chance of getting into college unless he started from the second year of junior high school.

But starting to repeat the course from the second grade of junior high school is obviously impossible.

So I gave up the idea.

But it is a pity that I never went to college.

He can only think that when he has children in the future, he must let his children study hard and strive to be admitted to a prestigious university. Only in this way can he realize his dream.

Xiao Shiyu did well in college. She participated in various clubs and held positions in the student union. She had many friends there and often hung out with those friends.

This is also something that makes Yan Xin envious.

After he left campus in his previous life, he basically had only colleagues and no friends.

Even if you have friends, they are just ordinary friends, or another term for colleagues.

They say youth is beautiful, but in his previous life, he did not have that kind of beautiful youth.

This life is better, I have a few friends, such as Chen Li, Gu Ru, etc., but there are only a few.

Moreover, they have more or less professional relationships, so they cannot be said to be pure friends.

Xiao Shiyu also told Yan Xin that many of her friends liked the songs he wrote, and some of them even bought the compilation record discovered by Starlight Entertainment. After knowing that Yan Xin was her classmate, they were all very envious.

Yes, some people even wanted her to help get an autograph from Yan Xin.

Yan Xin said generously: "No problem, give me the address of your school, and when I return to Yangcheng, I will send you dozens of records signed by me and those singers."

"It's a deal!" Xiao Shiyu said.

Then he smiled and said: "You can also send one to my dad, because my dad also likes the songs you composed."

"No problem!" Yan Xin agreed readily.

Xiao Shiyu also asked Yan Xin what kind of job he was doing now and how much his income was.

In front of her, Yan Xin didn't hide much, but he didn't tell the complete truth either. He only said that Starlight Entertainment Company owned his shares and he had obtained them in exchange for the copyright of those songs.

He did not say how many shares he owned. He only said that it was bound by the contract. This was a commercial secret and was not convenient to disclose, so Xiao Shiyu did not ask.

As for his current specific work, he also said that he is now managing Starlight Network.

I also told Xiao Shiyu about opening an online store and a home decoration company.

Only the matter of stock trading was not mentioned.

Although he made money from stock trading, he still believed that investing so much money into the A-share market was not a very smart choice. He was afraid that Xiao Shiyu would laugh at him if he told the story.

Saying things that you dare not say in front of others in front of Xiao Shiyu can be regarded as vanity, wanting to show that you are powerful in front of a beautiful girl.

Another very important reason is that Xiao Shiyu has no contact with the people in his hometown. Although they are in the same county, they are not in the same town.

He boasts so much that no one back home knows about it, so it naturally won't affect his father's life.

This kind of homecoming-style display of wealth is actually pretty cool.

Xiao Shiyu listened to him talking about his deeds one after another, his eyes became brighter and brighter, with some admiration in his eyes, and he couldn't help but admire:

"Yan Xin, you are really amazing! You are the most amazing person of your age I have ever seen!"

——This is the effect Yan Xin wants to achieve by saying these words.

Yan Xin also felt a little arrogant, but still said very modestly: "I just have better luck."

Xiao Shiyu asked again: "In the future, your career center is going to be located in Yangcheng, right?"

Yan Xin nodded: "Yes, if nothing else happens, it should be there. Now I have bought a house there."

Xiao Shiyu opened his eyes wide again.

Yangcheng is a first-tier city. Being able to buy a house in such a big city is a symbol of success for many people.

He smiled and said: "If one day I go to Yangcheng to play, you can host me."

"No problem," Yan Xin agreed, "I will definitely make you feel like you are back home."
