The Dragon Boat Festival party was a great success. Teacher Wen ate five small mandarin oranges and smiled sweetly. Mr. Dai, who was standing by, was very considerate. When the students were singing and dancing, he also danced happily and told Teacher Wen that he was happy to say anything.
After the party was over, Class One's monitor Bai was sent back by Old Dai, who gave him a day off early. It wasn't good to keep this guy in the class to irritate his classmates all the time, especially since he didn't know how to be polite. Class Two's League Secretary Mi Yang at least attended every class and was distracted occasionally. But Bai Luochuan was different. He came to attend a party and even "bullied" his classmates to grab questions to do. He was almost becoming the public enemy of the class!
Bai Luochuan happened to have something to do at home, so he went back first.
Mi Yang had nothing to do living in the dormitory alone. Cheng Qing also felt that he had worked hard in the past two years, so he said to him, "Luo Chuan is back. Why don't you ask your teacher if we still need to go to school? If not, you can stay at home and rest for a few days. Don't be so tired. It's time to relax."
Mi Yang called the school to inquire about it. As soon as the school heard his and Bai Luochuan's names, they were extremely enthusiastic and immediately approved him to take a vacation. Bai Luochuan might have to choose a major, but he had already booked his major and tutor, so he just had to wait for the university notification letter at home.
Bai Luochuan also filled out his application quickly. He and Mi Yang were in the same university. Mi Yang chose the Institute of Archaeology and Museums, while Bai Luochuan chose Finance.
Both families were very happy and got together for a meal.
Cheng Qing gave each of them a most popular laptop computer, and bought them sports shoes. He smiled and said, "Keep them. They are the same except that Luochuan's size is a little bigger. When you go to college and join a basketball team, you can play together!"
Bai Luochuan took it naturally and said, "Thank you, Aunt Cheng."
His cell phone rang. After picking up the phone, he lowered his voice and went out to answer the call. Luo Jiangjing looked at him and sighed, "Now that they are old, they all have their own secrets. I don't know what he and his cousin are doing every day, and they don't tell me a word."
Cheng Qing smiled and said, "Have the children grown up? That's normal. I just saw Luochuan grow up like a big boy from behind. That's great. Luochuan is tall enough now. Yangyang should also work harder. Eat more tonight and try to grow taller!"
Luo Jiangjing also watched Mi Yang grow up in front of her, and subconsciously protected him when she heard it, saying, "Xiaoguai, it's good like this. They are still young, and there is still room for growth in their teens." She reached out and touched Mi Yang's head, and smiled, "I don't know what to give you, so I'll give you a red envelope. If you want to buy anything later, go buy it yourself."
The red envelope given by Luo Jiangjing was very thin, with only a card inside.
Mi Yang knew how much money was involved without thinking. He refused a few times. Bai Luochuan just came back from outside. He put away his phone and sat down and said to him, "Take it. My mother gave it to us. Just take it."
Mi Yang thought about it and accepted it.
Bai Luochuan reached out to Luo Jiangjing again and asked: "Mom, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other, where is mine?"
Luo Jiangjing also gave him a similar red envelope, tapped his forehead twice and said, "You're just naughty. When have I ever been less than you?" Although he said this, there was still a happy smile in his eyes, and he suggested, "Luochuan, you've performed well in the company during this period. Mom will give you a holiday and buy you plane tickets. Why don't you pick a place to go out and play for a few days?"
Bai Luochuan shook his head and said, "Xiaoguai and I have agreed that we will go back to grandpa's place this summer."
Luo Jiangjing also knew that Mr. Bai's health had not been very good in the past two years, so she specially sent a doctor and a nurse to take good care of him. She comforted him, "Mom knows that you have a good relationship with Grandpa, but there is no need to rush. It is my and your dad's duty to take care of the elders at home. As for you, just relax, finish the exams you should take, and then go and have fun without worry, okay?"
Bai Luochuan still insisted: "Next time, I heard him coughing when I called him a few days ago, and I was worried."
Luo Jiangjing nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll have someone take you back."
She looked up at Mi Yang, who was taking care of his sister while she ate. The family sat there in harmony. Mi Yang peeled the shrimp with a fork and fed it to his sister. The little girl waited with her mouth open. She took a mouthful of shrimp meat and smiled while chewing. You didn't need to listen to know how good the relationship between the brother and sister was, and how gentle and thoughtful the brother was. Mi Zehai, who was standing by, also took care of Cheng Qing in the same way. As an old couple, they were very used to doing this. It was obvious that he taught Mi Yang how to peel the shrimp. Mi Zehai peeled it skillfully. While talking, he peeled a small plate of shrimp and gave it to his wife to eat, with a proud smile on his face.
Luo Jiangjing looked down at the empty seat beside her, smiled and shook her head. She had chosen Bai Jingrong in the first place, and the moment she married into the Bai family, she knew what kind of life she would face in the future. She envied others, but she did not regret it.
Bai Jingrong's love for her is hidden and deep, no less than anyone else's. She and her husband give to each other and are happy to do so.
After drinking half a glass of red wine, when Luo Jiangjing looked up again, he saw that the spoiled young master of the family had pushed his small plate to Mi Yang's hand and stared at him peeling shrimps for him until the small plate was almost full. Young Master Bai then took it and ate it all in a few bites. He looked unsatisfied and pushed the plate over again.
Luo Jiangjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wanted to remind his son, but everyone sitting there didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, Mi Zehai helped Mi Yang pick two shrimps and said to him, "Peel these for Luochuan to eat. They taste better. You need to remove the shrimp thread more neatly later. You just broke it. Come, let me show you..."
Mi Yang studied hard and learned how to do it. After peeling a shrimp, he handed it to Bai Luochuan.
Young Master Bai ate with a frank look on his face, as if he was used to it.
Luo Jiangjing thought about it and realized that this was indeed a bad habit he had developed since childhood. When he was a child, he asked Mi Yang to peel oranges for him, and he would not eat them unless the orange peels were completely peeled. When he grew up, he still ordered Mi Yang around a lot. He was two months older than Mi Yang, but apart from being taller and stronger, his growth was in vain. In the lives of the two of them, it was always Mi Yang who took care of the young master!
The two adults still had something to say. Mi Yang and Bai Luochuan were also invited by their classmates to continue celebrating. Their classmates were still struggling in the hardship of their second year of high school, so they had to let them go out to sing on a rare Sunday. They would be returning to Shanhai Town in a few days, and their time in Shanghai would be short, so they told their elders at home and left after eating.
When he got downstairs, Bai Luochuan specially checked how much was given in the red envelope. The two cards were the same, the password was their birthdays, and there was 100,000 yuan in each card.
Bai Luochuan said: "Not bad, no wonder they don't use red packaging, it would be too ugly if it was so thick."
Mi Yang directly gave his card to Bai Luochuan and said to him: "You can use it. It's of no use to me." In the past two years, Bai Luochuan has been doing his own business and made some money. He also shared it with Mi Yang several times, but his investment has gradually increased. It's always a good thing to have more liquid funds on hand.
Bai Luochuan didn't bother to be polite with him, he put the two cards into his pocket and said, "Okay, I'm really short of money these days, my cousin and a few people from his side have taken a fancy to an asset package, and said they would buy it together, I think it's good, so I'll help you invest in it, if you are short of money, just tell me." He stretched out his hand and pinched Mi Yang's face, and smiled, "You can never make enough money, don't delay my little darling's use."
Mi Yang said: "I don't need any money, you can do whatever you want."
Bai Luochuan took him out and told him about some things he and his cousin Bai Bin were going to do. They had known someone at the customs before and had done a business deal that made quite a lot of money. Bai Luochuan invested a small amount of money but got it back two or three times. This time they were going to do something bigger. Bai Bin had been eyeing that package of bad assets for a long time. The assets were relatively high-quality, with a lot of collateral, so the profit would be huge.
If the deal is done, the area of the small house that Bai Luochuan planned to buy in Beijing will be doubled. He also wants him and Mi Yang to live more comfortably while studying, especially since they will have to live there for four years, and that will be their first home.
Mi Yang didn't quite understand his business, and asked worriedly, "Is it safe?"
Bai Luochuan flicked his forehead and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? It's a normal channel."
Mi Yang also laughed.
The ones who invited Mi Yang and the others to sing were the classmates who usually played well with each other. Zhou Tong's group had quite a few classmates coming, more than a dozen from the two classes. It was obvious from the people who came that the class leader Bai from Class 1 was popular among the boys, and the league secretary Mi Yang from Class 2 was simply a friend of women. Most of the people from Class 2 were girls, even the school beauty Ning Ning came and was singing. When they saw the two of them come in, the two boys standing at the door immediately opened the small salute and "popped" twice, scattering a lot of gold powder and colored paper. Ning Ning also smiled and said with several girls, "Congratulations, congratulations!"
Bai Luochuan subconsciously put his palm on Mi Yang's head to protect him. After seeing clearly, he said with a smile: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Tong took a microphone and said cheerfully, "Let's celebrate in advance! By the way, let me interview the two top scorers. Where do you plan to go to play next? How many days of vacation have your families given you?"
Bai Luochuan said: "Not going anywhere, just staying at home."
Zhou Tong yelled, "Brother Bai is so unkind. He should at least take our league secretary to the Maldives. Why is he staying at home?"
Bai Luochuan said: "I am going back to my hometown."
Zhou Tong had been their classmate since junior high school. He knew that both of them were from Shanhai Town and had the traditional custom of going back to visit their parents during the summer and winter vacations. He immediately smiled and said, "Oh - I see, let's go back to our hometown!"
The classmate next to him immediately said: "After this exam, I will go back to my hometown to get married."
"There's nothing to be afraid of anymore. After the exam we'll go back home!"
"I don't want to go to the Maldives, we want to go back home together!"
"Yang Sang, do you want to go back to my hometown with me for our honeymoon?"
…
Bai Luochuan gave Zhou Tong a light kick, and with an uncontrollable smile on his face, he cursed: "Get lost! Are you asking for a beating?"
