Chapter 19 Brother Chen
Xie Bingran: "What's wrong?"
Xu Chen: "On Sunday, I will take you to practice first!"
Xie Bingran: "No, I have to go back to see grandma on the weekend."
Xu Chen: "That's just right. I'm going back to town this weekend. Let's go to the junior high school playground!"
Xie Bingran was silent for a moment.
Some past experiences in junior high school suddenly came back to mind.
Those good and bad pasts...
"Okay... then after practice, you want to treat me to dinner."
Xu Chen laughed happily.
……
……
The next day, there were still some rumors spreading on campus.
It's just that there are many opinions, whether true or false.
But a few key pieces of information are still pretty much the same.
Brother Bing was in danger, and Xu Chen from Class 5 led people to rescue him...
The matter became so big that we even went to the police station and the director of the Political and Educational Department went to arrest people...
It involves people "on the road", even fugitives...
And so on.
The gossip continues.
The parties involved in the matter, Xu Chen, Xie Bingran, Li Rui, etc., all remained silent.
But what is certain is that Xu Chen's popularity and discussion have once again increased.
Xu Chen also felt helpless about this.
It's just that "Brother Bing" is so famous that he stands under various spotlights.
But Xu Chen didn't take it seriously and focused on reviewing for the college entrance examination.
Familiar Chen Dahai and others also came over to inquire.
But after all, some of Xie Bingran’s privacy was involved, so Xu Chen did not disclose too much on the grounds that it was “involved in a case.”
But it triggered more associations and heated discussions.
……
During recess, Xu Chen followed the class team and walked towards the playground.
Along the way, I was laughing and joking with Chen Dahai and others, but I found that there were always people staring at me and whispering to me.
Okay...it really feels like the cusp of the storm.
Some people who were not familiar with them but knew them came over to Xu Chen for confirmation. Xu Chen was too lazy to answer. Chen Dahai beside him was very proactive and blocked them all.
……
At noon, Xu Chen, Chen Dahai and a few roommates came to the cafeteria to get food.
The college entrance examination is approaching, and it takes too long to eat outside the school, so everyone still defaults to the cafeteria.
I hurriedly finished my meal and went back so that I could read for a while.
The college entrance examination has entered the stage of "sharpening one's skills before battle".
Now hurry up and review, it is actually the most cost-effective. Every memorized question and knowledge point may appear during the college entrance examination.
At the table in the corner, Xu Chen sat down to eat quietly.
Several people suddenly walked up behind him. When they passed by Xu Chen, they called "Brother Chen" in a low voice.
Xu Chen looked back and found that he didn't recognize him. He could only guess that it was someone from Xie Bingran's side.
They didn't say much, they just called "Brother Chen", turned around and left.
After a while, a few more boys passed by, and they also bowed and called "Brother Chen"...
He only came to the cafeteria for a meal, but several groups of people came to Xu Chen and called him "Brother Chen", which also made him speechless.
It seems that after what happened yesterday, he has become famous as "Brother Chen" in the circles where Xie Bingran and Li Rui are.
Chen Dahai and other roommates looked a little excited.
"Master Xu, you are Brother Chen now, you have to protect us!"
"Do we have to change our name to Brother Chen?"
Xu Chen was too lazy to pay attention and looked around, but did not see Xie Bingran.
Suddenly I remembered that when leaving the police station last night, the young female police officer said that Xie Bingran would go there at noon today.
Xu Chen was about to look away when he happened to see the non-mainstream girl Zhao Linlin. Zhao Linlin also saw Xu Chen, but she didn't come over to make trouble and entanglement like before. Instead, she avoided Xu Chen's eyes and turned away.
Xu Chen frowned, not sure whether it was Zhao Linlin's own active avoidance or Xie Bingran's doing something in private.
Of course it may not be Xie Bingran, it could also be the Ma Xiang he met yesterday evening.
This gangster from the vocational school next door is also one of Zhao Linlin's "godbrothers".
After learning about his identity as the "big wronged", I don't know if he broke up with Zhao Linlin and what happened next.
As for Ma Xiang blocking him in the alley yesterday, I don't know whether it was Zhao Linlin's deliberate instigation or Ma Xiang's own initiative.
But these are no longer important.
Regarding Zhao Linlin, Xu Chen really didn't want to care about anything.
A lot of time, energy, and money were wasted on her in her previous life.
Now I just want to stay away and don't want any entanglement or intersection.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The meal was finished quickly, but the food in the cafeteria was still so bland.
Xu Chen stood up and was about to clear away the plates and dishes when two short-haired teenagers suddenly appeared behind him.
"Brother Chen, we will collect it for you."
With that said, regardless of whether Xu Chentong agreed or not, they reached out and snatched his plates, bowls and chopsticks, then turned around and took them to the recycling area.
Xu Chen: "..."
Really confused.
Looking at the backs of the two short-haired boys, they didn't look like they were seniors in high school, but maybe sophomores in high school.
He was probably also from Xie Bingran's side.
Or maybe he was just a poor kid who received help from Xie Bingran.
Chen Dahai on the side was holding a dinner plate and couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother Chen is so proud!"
Xu Chen smiled helplessly, turned around and walked out of the cafeteria.
"Brother Chen, slow down, wait for us!"
……
……
The week passed quickly.
After school on Friday afternoon, Xu Chen went back to the dormitory to collect his dirty clothes and then left the school gate.
In the public parking lot opposite the school, I saw my father Xu Zhiquan from a distance.
Xu Zhiquan stood next to the Jinbei van with a cigarette in his mouth.
He didn't wear that baggy suit today, but instead wore a set of dirty work clothes. His originally meticulous, oily back was just casually smoothed back.
Seeing his son Xu Chen from a distance, a warm smile immediately bloomed on Xu Zhiquan's face.
But he didn't go up to her. Instead, he turned around and opened the door and got in first.
Xu Chen had a doubt in his heart, so he walked to the van with his schoolbag and got into the passenger seat.
"Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat noodles first!"
"Dad, why did you hide in the car immediately when you saw me?"
Xu Zhiquan smiled honestly:
"Dad is wearing dirty clothes today. If your classmates see it, I'm afraid I'll embarrass you."
Xu Chen was speechless:
"Dad, what are you talking about... No matter how you dress, I will not find you embarrassed."
Xu Zhiquan said with a smile:
"Boys of your age should respect your dignity. Dad is a veteran and knows everything!
I just came back from going to Beishan to see seedlings today, and I didn’t have time to change clothes.
Besides, the shabby van I drove was not enough to support my son. ”
Xu Chen turned to look at his father and found that there was still some dirt on his forehead, so he wiped it with his sleeve.
Xu Zhiquan was stunned for a moment, but did not dodge, and smiled happily.
"Son, when dad gets a better car, I'll pick you up at the school gate!"
Xu Chen: "What are these words?"
Xu Zhiquan smiled:
"I was just waiting for you in the car when I saw several A6s coming to pick up their children at the school gate. They must all be cadre families.
You wait for dad to make some more money and buy an A8 to pick you up. ”
