Everyone in the Erbao unit needs detailed political review. Thinking of this, Ye Fan asked: "Then the teacher also knows what is going on in our family?"
Erbao: "The teacher doesn't seem to know. Years ago, the Ministry went to our school to recruit people. The leader of the team chatted with me a few words, and the meaning behind his words was that a tiger father has a dog daughter. He must know who my father is. They After leaving, the teacher said that they had also come to the New Year’s Day party, and the most satisfying show was the performance of our debating club.”
Geng Sensen: "The prelude to Journey to the West?"
Erbao nodded: "Among a bunch of Western dance music songs, there was only one folk music performance. Not only did it not hurt the hips, it also heated up the place. It was in line with the festival atmosphere. They spoke highly of us. The teacher said that everyone in our debate club was The leaders of the ministry noticed, but some people didn’t like it, thinking that the future diplomat was acting unsteadily, and performing the prelude to Journey to the West in such a solemn and solemn occasion was just nonsense.”
Geng Sensen clicked his tongue: "Old feudalism!" Then he thought of his former leader, "How come there are these self-righteous old antiques everywhere. What era are they in?"
Erbao: "There are also people who dislike Min Le Tu."
"Adoring foreigners and favoring foreigners!" Geng Sensen said rudely, "By the way, Erbao, you can't do this."
Erbao: "We must not! We who do diplomacy also worship foreign things. Then when we get to the negotiation table, we will kneel down before even talking."
Geng Sensen was very satisfied: "Classmate Geng Jingjing will definitely become an excellent diplomat in the future."
Erbao raised his chin, of course!
Geng Sensen suddenly understood why Dabao liked to slap her on the head: "Just be proud of it." He slapped her head down, went to the back to find Dabao and Chu Guangming, and asked them what they were plotting.
When he learned that Chu Guangming wanted to buy a motorcycle, he asked Dabao to help him. Geng Sensen clicked his tongue: "No wonder I dare not let my aunt hear it. You might as well buy an Alto if you want to buy a motorcycle."
"It's too small." Chu Guangming had seen it. "It's very uncomfortable to sit in it. Aunt Ye's car is more comfortable to drive."
Geng Sensen: “If it’s not cold in winter and not exposed to the sun in summer, you don’t have to worry about falling or being disabled.”
Chu Guangming looked at Dabao and asked him to make up his mind.
Dabao: "There have been a lot of motorcycle gangs on the streets in the past two years. If they dare to rob passers-by, they dare to rob your motorcycle. I suggest you buy a bicycle. I will renovate the unit's house later, so you don't need to ride a bike to work. You can ride mine too.”
"You have to stay in school for another year. I'll ride your bike. What are you going to ride this year?" Chu Guangming paused and confessed honestly, "Actually, I also thought about buying a bicycle, but my workplace is far from home. It's hard to ride a bike." It takes half an hour, it’s too time consuming.”
Geng Sensen: “Don’t plan to live in a work unit?”
Chu Guangming has a computer at home. He wants to do some private work, but it is inconvenient to live in an apartment: "My home is comfortable."
Dabao: "Let's go with Alto. I'll sell it in two years and exchange it for Alto's brother. By then it's time for you to find a partner. It'll be just in time to take your partner to and from get off work."
Chu Guangming shook his head: "We'll talk about this later." He asked reluctantly: "You really can't buy a motorcycle?"
Dabao nodded: "Okay. Don't say I asked you to buy it."
When others nag Chu Guangming, he will find it annoying. Except for Ye Fan, he still thinks that Ye Fan is good for him. The reason was probably because Ye Fan always helped him just right, which made him feel grateful and embarrassed to disappoint her.
Chu Guangming was silent for a long time, and then said: "Let's go with Alto. Alto is also cheap. It's just that I am driving Alto so high, it's a bit inappropriate."
Dabao snorted: "How tall are you? You're not as tall as me." The implication was that he had the nerve to think Alto was too small.
Chu Guangming: "Not as tall as you, nor short. Besides, Grandma Yu said, twenty-three jumps up. I am exactly twenty-three this year, and I can definitely grow a little longer."
Dabao asked smoothly: "Pull the seedlings to help them grow?"
"You—" Chu Guangming couldn't tell him, "Why do you have a mouth?"
Dabao laughed.
Geng Sensen was never hungry as a child, and his family life was good during his puberty years, but he was still not as tall as Dabao. Geng Sensen guessed it had something to do with genetics. His father and mother were not as tall as his third uncle and third aunt. Geng Sensen wanted to grow taller. Seeing that Chu Guangming's words seemed true, he asked him how to grow taller.
Chu Guangming: "Eat eggs, drink milk, play basketball and stretch your muscles."
Dabao didn't expect that his letter "Still jumping up and down at the age of twenty-three", he was very surprised: "Co-authoring is really counterproductive."
"Shut up." Chu Guangming said angrily.
Geng Sensen said: "But sometimes I have diarrhea after drinking milk. My aunt said I am allergic to milk."
Chu Guangming: "I sometimes have diarrhea. I found that boiling milk in a pot is better. I will try to get a bottle of pure milk later. Milk-flavored drinks are useless. It is better to drink pure water."
Geng Sensen nodded: "Let's go out. It's unreasonable to stay here on the first day of the new year."
Chu Guangming asked: "Don't you two go out to pay New Year greetings to others?"
Geng Sensen: "My aunt called me to say hello. We don't need to go, right? It's okay if we didn't contact our colleagues and leaders in the past. My mentor doesn't have the custom of paying New Year greetings. Besides, everyone is busy during the New Year."
Dabao suddenly remembered that his tutor had a pager, and immediately went to the front to call the tutor from his home phone, leaving a message saying Happy New Year.
When Geng Sensen and Chu Guangming saw this, they imitated each other. Yu Wentao muttered to Huihui, "The phone bill this month is twice as much as last month."
Geng Huihui smiled and said: "Only once a year."
"I mean." Yu Wentao paused, "Everyone uses pagers now, so no one will come today, right?"
Geng Huihui wanted to nod when she heard the sound of messy footsteps. Geng Huihui opened the window, and the one running in front was the former neighbor's child, Xiaohu, who loved to follow Dabao's butt.
Behind Xiaohu are his sister, his parents, and a few former neighbors. Geng Huihui suspected that they bought a house nearby so they could meet each other today.
Yu Wentao asked: "Who is it?"
Geng Huihui let her see by herself.
Yu Wentao saw it clearly and hurried to the main hall and said, "Why are you here? Come in quickly."
Xiaohu, a young boy who had just entered junior high school, jumped over the threshold in one step. His mother said, "Don't be naughty." He happened to look up and saw Ye Fan. Xiaohu was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
Yu Wentao smiled and pulled him inside: "It's okay. Do you want some candy?"
Erbao picked up the fruit plate with melon seeds and peanut candies and let Xiaohu grab it by himself. He subconsciously looked behind him. Yu Wentao saw that he was afraid of his mother, so she grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his pocket.
Ye Fan stood up and asked a few people to sit down.
Naturally, I came here to pay New Year greetings. Maybe because they were the same age as Ye Fan and there was no reason for people of the same age to pay New Year greetings to people of the same age, so they said they wanted to see their aunt, who was Yu Wentao.
Xiaohu saw Dabao, Chu Guangming and others chatting in the courtyard, and he quietly touched them. Dabao saw him from the corner of his eye and asked, "Is something wrong?"
The boy might be embarrassed, or he might not be used to it, so he hesitated for a while and said, "Happy New Year, Brother Dabao."
Dabao touched his head and said, "You've learned to be shy since you were in junior high school. How come you didn't know how to be shy when you asked for my clothes before? You're so cute!"
Xiaohu is not shy, his new home is not far from Dabao's house, but Dabao is busy and has not met Dabao for a year after moving here, which makes him afraid that Dabao will forget him or be too lazy to pay attention to him.
Seeing that Dabao was still the same as before, Xiaohu couldn't help but tug on his sleeve and asked: "What are we talking about?"
During the Chinese New Year, no one is in the mood to talk about work or school, but of course it’s about cars. Chu Guangming didn't want everyone to know about the car before he bought it, so he said nonsense: "Let's talk about which unit your Dabao brother will go to work in later."
Xiaohu asked: "Which unit should I go to?"
Dabao: "Aviation Research Institute."
Xiaohu exclaimed and said: "Brother Dabao is so awesome!"
Dabao was surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You know?"
"It's amazing when you hear it." Xiaohu blurted out.
Dabao choked for a moment and had to admit that he was right, "It's okay."
"You're about to go to heaven, are you okay?" Xiaohu couldn't believe it.
Dabao: "There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world. By the way, how are your grades?"
The admiration on Xiaohu's face disappeared instantly and he became ashamed. Dabao said: "A partial subject or you don't want to learn?"
The young man raised his head suddenly. Unexpectedly, Dabao did not scold him directly, but was curious about what the problem was. The young man also dared to speak boldly: "Why do you want to learn a foreign language? I don't want to go abroad!"
Dabaoxin said, why is it the same as when I was a child?
"Learning foreign languages is not to communicate with foreigners, nor to go abroad, but to look up information. When you get to university, you will find that a lot of information is in foreign languages."
The young man frowned: "Is there no one to translate?"
Dabao thought about how to deceive him: "Yes, but it's not accurate enough. It's like the poem 'The guest travels outside the green mountains, and the boat sails in front of the green water.' How about this sentence? And 'I send my sorrowful heart to the bright moon, and follow you until the night is west. . 'If translated into vernacular, is this the same as for foreign language materials? ”
Xiaohu's eyes widened and he couldn't help asking: "So you must learn foreign languages well?"
Dabao: "You may not be able to say it, but you have to recognize it. Only if you do well in the exam and go to a good university can you learn more knowledge. Don't think that the exam is for your parents. The exam is actually just to test your learning results."
Chu Guangming followed his words and said: "You said you studied well but failed the exam. What's the good thing about it?"
"I-I'm good at math!" Xiaohu thought he was right and felt confident, "My math in this final exam was the first in the whole grade."
Dabao: “Have you ever participated in a math competition?”
The teenager who has just entered the first grade of junior high school has not had the opportunity to participate in the mathematics competition.
Seeing him shaking his head, Dabao said: "If you can get the first place, even if you fail in English, a good university will admit you with exception. If you are better than your classmates and cannot be recommended by the school to go to university, then you have to work hard Learn English.”
"Do you want to be first in the city?"
Dabao nodded: "It is best to be among the top three in the country."
Xiaohu opened his mouth wide in shock and gasped.
Dabao: "You think I'm awesome, don't you? I'm very average in our school. In my major, there are not even a thousand but eight hundred people who are as awesome as me, and they're still the same age."
Chu Guangming and Geng Sensen looked at each other——
Geng Dabao is really capable of talking nonsense. How many talents are there in aviation? There are 800 people of the same age. However, Xiao Hu believed it and said in a low voice: "I am like a frog at the bottom of a well."
Dabao touched his head: "The frog at the bottom of the well is not scary. The scary thing is that he dare not jump out from the bottom of the well and look at the world outside."
The young man nodded vigorously.
Dabao: "Your parents are out."
When the young man turned around, his parents were chatting with Ye Fan and Yu Wentao.
Dabao said: "Your family also has some money now. Please ask a student from the Foreign Language School to help you with tutoring and one-on-one practice. You can improve your grades in one or two semesters. You are good at math and have passed English. You don't need to be the best in other subjects." , top ten in the class, stay in the senior year, and may get a recommendation place.”
"Should I go to Beijing University or your school?"
Dabao: "You have to work harder at Peking University and my school, and your English scores should be better. You should score 70 or 80 on the 100-point paper."
Not ninety percent, not one hundred percent, Xiaohu felt he could do it. When he heard his mother calling him, he jumped up and followed her.
Chu Guangming muttered: "First in the whole grade in mathematics, top ten in the class in other subjects, and barely passing English is enough to get into our school."
Dabao: "It is easy to go from failing to passing, but it is not easy to go from passing to 80%. His ability to get 80% in English test at least shows that he no longer hates English. With his IQ, he can learn well without hating it." He is in the top ten in the class in all subjects, and there is one outstanding subject in mathematics. He may be in the top ten in the whole grade. "
Chu Guangming was surprised: "So you want him to overcome English? What if he is really not good at it?"
Dabao: "There is no problem with his IQ. The college entrance examination does not test oral English. He can pass by memorizing by rote. If he is good at English but not good at mathematics, I will definitely not ask him to pass 70 or 80 points."
Geng Sensen nodded: "If you know math, you know it, if you don't know it, you don't know it."
Dabao said: "You can also answer more questions, but you can only cope with the exam. You need to study literature in college. I will suggest him to go to sister Huihui's school."
Chu Guangming couldn't help but said: "No wonder you asked him if he doesn't want to study or if he prefers subjects. Isn't it the same thing that I still want to study subjects and don't want to study?"
Dabao: "Now I know, no!"
Chu Guangming nodded: "If you don't want to learn, you may hate it, or you may not be able to learn. Hey, your brain is indeed Aunt Ye's own."
Dabao wanted to say something else, but heard another set of footsteps. Looking south, Dabao was surprised. Wei Jianshe came over with his wife and children.
Dabao went up to pick up the child: "Why did you bring him here?"
Wei Jianshe: "There is nothing to do at home."
Dabao: "How did you come here?"
"Drive." Wei Jianshe didn't wait for Dabao to ask, "I bought an Alto a year ago, and I treat it as a three-wheeler with no air leakage from all sides."
Dabao glanced at Chu Guangming.
Chu Guangming scratched his nose: "Uncle Wei, can you let me try?"
Chu Guangming's biological father, biological mother and aunt could guess that he was rich through his advertisements, so how could Wei Jianshe not know about it. I guess he wanted to buy a car, so I gave him the car keys.
Wei Jianshe winked at Dabao, who put the child in Geng Sensen's arms and followed him.
Two long-handed people got into the Alto, and Dabao said: "No wonder you said my mother's car is comfortable. If I want to buy a car, I will get one like that."
Chu Guangming: "You still want me to buy it?"
Dabao: "If you drive a good car to the company and the leader of your unit borrows it, or you need to pick up a client, and the leader asks you to go, will you go or not?"
If it's a private company, if you don't want to work here, you can go there. Chu Guangming can say no. But if he wants to survive in a state-owned enterprise, he has to be obedient.
Chu Guangming: "Then let's go with Alto. Alto is good, but everyone feels petty when he looks at him. It's also in line with my status as having no father and no mother."
Dabao: "Go around the street and see if it's stable."
"Sure, sure." Chu Guangming drove out of the alley and was surprised to find that the small car also had the advantages of a small car. It could walk through the streets and alleys.
On the sixth day of the new year, Dabao accompanied Chu Guangming to get a car. After the formalities were completed, Chu Guangming drove to Ye Fan's house and asked Erbao if he knew how to drive.
Dabao taught Erbao, but she did not dare to go on the road. Dabao said: "Er Bao, I'll pick you up in Guangming's car when you get back to get off work."
Erbao: “Can’t I use mom’s?”
Ye Fan shook his head: "Your mother's company is also open."
Erbao remembered: "Brother, how many days can it be used?"
Chu Guangming: "I can give you a ride in the future, and you can take the bus to your work."
"Forget it. I live over there."
Ye Fan: "That's okay. I'll pick you up on Saturday afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Geng Sensen said: "I'll go. It's a good opportunity to practice driving."
As soon as Yu Wentao heard that Erbao wanted to live near her work unit, she asked Ye Fan to send her, Erbao and Huihui there the next day. Erbao reported to the work unit, and she and Huihui went to Erbao's new house to see what was missing.
Rice, noodles, oil and salt were all lacking. Yu Wentao took Geng Huihui to a nearby vegetable market to buy a bunch of things. Chop all the meat into fillings, make dumplings and stuffings, and throw them in the refrigerator. Pack the wet noodles separately and put them in the freezer. Eggs, green peppers, tomatoes and other items are placed on the stove.
The two of them didn't go back at noon, and had lunch with Erbao in the new house. Erbao told them that they could eat in the workplace, but Yu Wentao disliked it: "What's so delicious about the big pot of rice in the workplace."
Erbaoxin said that fortunately she was at home and the leader could not hear her: "Grandma, the food in our unit is okay."
"Then you can't eat three meals a day at work." Yu Wentao said.
Erbao: "You see, my mother is not worried at all."
"Your mother has a big heart. Who can compare with her." Yu Wentao muttered, "Listen to grandma and make it yourself when you have time. You see, tomatoes and green peppers are easy to make, just cut them into pieces and beat an egg in the pot. You eat.”
Geng Huihui nodded: "Yes. If you don't want to eat rice, just cook noodles, have green pepper scrambled eggs topped with noodles, or tomatoes and eggs topped with noodles."
Yu Wentao added: "When you finish eating the dumplings and steamed buns, call grandma. I'll wrap them up at home and ask your mother to deliver them."
"Don't be busy." Erbao had no nerve to ask the old lady to wait on her.
Geng Huihui: "You forgot, our family also has a nanny. We are not at home, so Xiao Wang will ask her to make buns and dumplings for you when he has nothing to do."
Xiao Wang went to work on the tenth day of the lunar month and was still in her hometown at this moment, so that Er Bao completely forgot about her.
Erbao: "Okay."
Geng Huihui reminded her to take the clothes home for washing on weekends.
Erbao has two washing machines. The larger one washes thick clothes and bed sheets and quilt covers, and the smaller one washes intimate clothes without her having to do anything. Erbao nodded when he saw her breasts, as if he had forgotten, and could only say: "Okay."
Erbao took a break after dinner and then went to work. Yu Wentao checked the water and electricity on the doors, windows, and opened the curtains of Erbao's bedroom to let the sun in. Then she went back with Geng Huihui.
After taking the bus to get home, Yu Wentao sighed: "Why is it so far away? Erbao's return trip is like a countryman going to the city. If he goes to the diplomatic service, he might as well stay in school and become a teacher."
Geng Huihui couldn't laugh or cry: "Won't you be even more worried when Erbao goes abroad with the leader?"
"Erbao hasn't graduated yet and is not qualified to go abroad with the leader." Yu Wentao said, "When she can go abroad, it will be time for me to reunite with your grandfather. Out of sight, out of mind!"
Geng Huihui: "Be careful whether good things work or bad things happen."
"What did you say?"
Geng Huihui was startled and looked back: "Dad? Mom?"
Chu Fenghe entered the room carrying his bag: "Why just you two? Where are Dabao and Erbao?"
Huihui: "Dabao is at Guangming's house, and Erbao has gone to work."
The couple was stunned.
Geng Huihui explained: "Internship."
Geng Zhihui couldn't accept it: "How old is Erbao?"
Geng Huihui: "Twenty years old."
Chu Fenghe: "I remember that Erbao was born in the summer and is not yet twenty years old. How can he be an intern at such a young age."
Geng Huihuixin said that you can get married at the age of twenty. But they were really worried about their second baby. Geng Huihui said: "It's very safe in the diplomatic department."
Chu Fenghe thought about where the diplomatic department was: "How can we come back so far?"
Geng Huihui: "If she stays in the internship unit after graduation, my aunt will buy her a car. In the past six months, she has been homesick and my aunt has picked her up. Usually my grandma and I go to see her."
Geng Zhihua nodded: "That's not bad." Then he couldn't help but sigh, "Little Erbao has already joined the work."
Yu Wentao couldn't help but said: "Your daughter can get married."
The couple turned to their daughter and said in unison: "Are you married?"
Geng Huihui was speechless, what kind of ears.
"Grandma said I can get married." Geng Huihui didn't want to hear the two of them questioning her again, so she took the initiative to confess that she had a partner and he was a good person. If they could stay at home for a few days, they would call her over on the weekends and let them meet her.
Chu Fenghe hurriedly asked: "Where is your home? What do you do? Did you talk about it yourself or was it introduced by others?"
