Lou Xuan picked up his father at the airport. Lou Hongye flew over from Australia. He has a spodumene deposit in Western Australia, which is in summer.
He didn't have a piece of luggage, so he took a coat and got on the plane. When he came out of the airport, he was completely chilled by the heavy snow falling outside.
Stepping on the snow with one deep foot and one shallow foot, the socks were instantly wet. Lou Xuan rolled down the car window and murmured twice at him: "Dad! Here."
Before Lou Hongye got into the car, he saw that Lou Xun's hood was scratched and the bumper was crooked.
"You still drive this car when it's broken?" He closed the door, pulled out a blanket from the back seat, and wrapped it tightly around his body, "Your father will pick up a new one for you tomorrow, what car do you want? A supercar? "
Wipers sweep frozen snowflakes off the windshield.
"I don't like driving, forget it." He likes motorcycles, but there are already enough limited edition motorcycles in his garage, and he bought all the ones he likes. Lou Xuan hasn't taken a fancy to new ones yet.
"Then what do you want?" Lou Hongye lowered the seat and asked him while lying down.
Lou Xuan thought for a while and said, "The school cafeteria is too bad, and the milk tea is also bad."
"Small things." Lou Hongye started calling.
Lou Xuan knew that his father was a man of action, and seeing that he had already called the big leader, he added: "The school cafeteria is too expensive, it's time to reduce the price."
Lou Hongye gave him a puzzled look.
canteen? expensive? How expensive can it be, even Lou Xuan thinks it is expensive
Lou Xuan drove the car to his home. He usually lives alone in the community next to the school, and his mother Yue Yun lives alone. Like Lou Hongye, she often travels on business. She is too busy to run such a large company by herself.
When she got home, Yue Yun hadn't come back yet. When she called, she was still in the company.
None of the three members of their family know how to cook. Yue Yun usually hired an aunt to cook, but now that the Chinese New Year is coming, the aunt has also gone home.
Lou Xuan ordered takeaway for the New Year's Eve dinner at four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was delivered to her door at eight o'clock in the evening. Yue Yun just came back, and she put down her things. Lou Xuan saw a small big red handbag: "Where did the wedding candy come from?" ?”
"A manager in the administration department got married and sent me an invitation card and candy."
Lou Xuan let out an "oh", and casually removed the ribbon on the candy box.
When Lou Hongye saw it, he said to him: "My son has tooth decay, and he still eats sweets! Let's eat first."
"Eat one, the teeth are in good shape and won't rot." He didn't listen at all, and immediately peeled off a candy and stuffed it into his mouth—it was a strawberry sandwich milk ball. After one bite, the milk-flavored hard candy on the outside broke in half, and the soft sandwich flowed out, slowly melting in the mouth.
Lou Xuan lowered her head, put the candy wrapper under her nose and sniffed it lightly.
The rich milky aroma mixed with the strawberry aroma eroded his sense of smell, Lou Xuan suddenly raised his head as if remembering something.
"Dad," he called out suddenly, fiddling with the candy box in his hand, intending to find another candy like that, "does our family have a candy factory?"
Ding Xuerun received a picture of a small round white milk ball in Lou Xuan's palm.
Ding Xuerun: "What is this?"
"Sandwich toffee." Lou Xuan sent a text message this time, "Xiao Ding, don't you think this looks a lot like you?"
Ding Xuerun: "..."
"Where does it look like?"
Lou Xuan said, "It's very similar!!!"
Tastes alike.
He may have been at the same table with Ding Xuerun for a long time, so he just thought about it if he didn't chat for a few days.
When Lou Hongye saw him chatting non-stop, laughing while chatting, he was extremely suspicious. He glanced at Lou Xuan's mother, and Yue Yun said without raising his head, "It seems like I'm in love again." She asked, "This time at the same table?"
Lou Xun was happy: "Mom, how do you know it's my tablemate?"
"I heard you mention it a few times."
Lou Xuan smiled: "My tablemate is a boy, do you mind if I find a male daughter-in-law to go home?"
Yue Yun was eating elegantly, but when she heard this, she stopped.
Lou Hongye also put down his chopsticks, and his expression became a little tangled for a moment, as if trying to digest this fact.
After a long time, Yue Yun pinched the center of her eyebrows: "It's a man, as long as you like it."
Lou Hongye didn't express his opinion, but Lou Xuan had almost finished his performance. He suddenly sullenly said, "I still have something to say."
Yue Yun stared at him, thinking that he was about to announce another big news.
—Lou Xuan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud: "I was teasing you just now hahahaha I don't like men hahahaha."
Lou Hongye was furious, he got up and beat him up: "Why don't you pretend to be gay, Lou Xuan, come here! See if I don't beat you to death!"
Lou Xuan still laughed, he didn't know how many times he had pretended during this time, the more he pretended, the more proficient he was, and he was a little obsessed with this gay character.
Ding Xuerun's family has many elder relatives, but none of them are very close. His grandfather passed away, and his grandmother is now old and suffering from dementia, and lives with Ding Xuerun's third uncle.
Ding Zhaowen has several brothers and sisters. He is the second eldest. The elders moved to the city more than ten years ago, and the sister-in-law also married out of town.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Ding Zhaowen's brothers and sisters also came back. The son of my sister-in-law's family looks to be about the same age as Ding Xuerun, and his name is Wang Qianfan. The sister-in-law asked him to play with Ding Xuerun, and said, "Fanfan, you are the same age and play the same things."
Wang Qianfan looked at Ding Xuerun who was wearing an old cotton coat, but ignored his mother's words.
The sister-in-law said awkwardly: "This child is introverted."
Their hometown is a small county, and once something bad happens in a few days, it spreads widely.
Ding Xuerun couldn't hide the fact that Hao Duan Duan suddenly transferred schools a few months ago.
Ding Zhaowen first explained to the old family, saying: "Runrun went to a better high school. Our whole school only has one or two Tsinghua University and Peking University. Their new school can recruit dozens or hundreds of students in the whole grade. Runrun went there, It’s also for getting into a better university.”
Later, I don’t know which relative with a bad mouth, went back to my hometown and said, “Mr. Ding’s boy, he was expelled for fighting before he transferred to another school!”
As soon as the rumors spread, everyone laughed at Ding Zhaowen as a teacher, saying that he could not discipline the children, and that he married a deaf-mute as his wife, so the children must not be able to manage well: "It must be serious to be fired for fighting! That child Didn't get good grades?"
I don't know who passed it on, saying that Ding Xuerun didn't transfer to another school, but dropped out of school and went to work in a northern city.
Ding Zhaowen didn't come back often, because he married a deaf-mute as his wife, and he gave birth to a child not long after getting married. The old people think that the child is not their own, and some people outside are saying: "That deaf-mute is Teacher Ding and his wife. Oh, she is so beautiful that she looks like a fairy! She gave birth to a child within a few months of marriage. Do you think it is tricky?"
The old man felt that this was a disgrace to the Ding family, and even refused to let him come back for the New Year. It was after the death of Grandpa Ding Xuerun that he began to return to his hometown and visited his relatives a few times. The relatives knew that he was a teacher and were very enthusiastic about him. They thought that there must be something to do with their children going to high school in the future.
When the family eats New Year's Eve dinner, the juniors are always asked about their studies.
Wang Qianfan returned to his hometown less frequently than Ding Xuerun. He was completely a child in the city. Everyone was very curious about him and asked, "Did Qianfan go to high school? How long did it take for the college entrance examination? How was his grade?"
"It's the third year of high school," my aunt answered for him. "The college entrance examination is coming soon. Qianfan is still working hard. He has always been the top three in his class. He wants to be admitted to Xiamen University, but he almost got a score."
"Wow, the grades are so good? Does Qianfan like his hometown? Stay a few more days and make up lessons for your sister. She is in her second year of high school."
Wang Qianfan picked up the rice grains in the bowl and remained silent. The sister-in-law said, "We will stay for a few more days. Dandan can come and ask my brother anytime." She turned to the girl in the topic, who was the daughter of her eldest brother's family.
Dandan is studying in the city. It is an international school, and his grades are in the middle. The teacher likes to assign some tricky and novel thinking questions to them.
She smiled shyly and said: "My teacher just assigned a very difficult physics problem, and no one in the class has done it yet." Let the parents see it, and the parents don't even know it. They are confused when they see the problem.
Wang Qianfan finally spoke up: "I'll help you take a look later."
The uncle also asked about Ding Xuerun's grades, and asked him: "I heard that the grades before the transfer were not bad, right? How about after the transfer? What university do you want to go to?"
Ding Xuerun didn't like to talk on such occasions, but he wasn't bored either, so he replied, "Study whatever you got into."
The uncle took it for granted that he must be not very good, and said: "Then you have to learn more from Qianfan and play less on your mobile phone. You are short-sighted because you are playing on your mobile phone. When you were playing on your mobile phone in the afternoon, I saw Qianfan Do your homework there." He scolded, "Dandan too, learn more from your brother and play less on your phone."
After dinner, some of the adults watched TV, and some went to play cards. Dandan took out the exercise book from her schoolbag and went to Wang Qianfan. This physics problem is not in the exercise book, and there is no such difficult question in the exercise book.
Her picture is very standard, there are nine connected straight lines in an equilateral triangle, the question is three snails A crawling towards B, B crawling towards C, C crawling towards A, given the speed, asked to meet after a few minutes of movement, Ask how many times the snails turned, how many centimeters they moved, and what the trajectory was like when they finally met.
Wang Qianfan took out his pen and didn't pay attention to the problem when he saw the problem, but he couldn't figure it out after a long time of calculation. Dandan stood beside him and ran away to watch the Spring Festival Gala when he couldn't solve it. Didn't figure it out.
"Brother, is this problem difficult? Parents of the students in the class can't do it."
"I'll solve it soon, just wait." Wang Qianfan counted for more than ten minutes, but it still didn't work, and asked Dandan, "Did you copy the question wrong? Are there any conditions? Or is your drawing wrong? ?”
"There is nothing wrong with the question, I copied it as the teacher sent me."
Wang Qianfan insisted: "Impossible, there must be something wrong." He couldn't believe it, "You are only a sophomore in high school, how can I do this kind of question for you? There are no such difficult questions in the college entrance examination."
Dandan was frightened by his tone, and said in a soft voice: "I copied it according to the teacher's instructions. There is nothing wrong with the questions, but you can't do it..."
She ran off with the exercise book.
Ding Xuerun was sitting outside blowing the night breeze, saw Dandan running out wiping her tears, and asked her what was wrong.
Dandan said everything, and Ding Xuerun said, "Show me."
Ding Xuerun looked down for about half a minute under the light that was not too strong, and said, "There are six algorithms for this question."
"The three snails always maintain an equilateral triangle during the movement. At the same time, the equilateral triangle shrinks as it rotates. When it shrinks to..." Before he started to calculate, he began to explain to Dandan, and at the same time, he used a pen to quickly list out the formula.
He didn't understand Dandan at all, but he still listened in a daze, and didn't cry.
Ding Xuerun solved the problem at a frighteningly fast speed. When he got the answer, he switched to the second, third or even more ways to solve the problem.
Dandan looked at the answers to the questions all over the article, and was shocked while hearing it in a cloud.
Afterwards, she sent the answer to the teacher. The teacher was very surprised because he never thought that the sophomores could do it. He arranged it to expand the students' thinking and let them think more about the problem: "This question is not available on the Internet. How did you solve it?"
Dandan said: "I didn't do it myself, I asked someone."
She happily went in with the exercise book and said, "Dad! The problem has been solved!" Her father was watching TV, chatting with the family members who rarely saw each other except during the holidays.
There are seven or eight adults sitting in the living room.
Hearing Dandan's words, he raised his head and took the exercise book: "Did you make it?"
Dandan nodded heavily, and the uncle couldn't understand after looking at it, but it didn't stop him from praising: "Wow, the six ways to solve the problem are really well written." It’s amazing, I’m afraid I’m going to be admitted to Tsinghua University!”
The sister-in-law didn't know why, so she smiled and said, "There is still a long way to go, but he has studied very hard, and there is still half a year left, so you can work hard."
Just when Wang Qianfan appeared at the door, the aunt continued: "I believe Qianfan can do it."
"No, no." Dandan didn't see Wang Qianfan, and hurriedly explained, "This question was done by the brother of the second uncle's family! The brother of the sister-in-law's family has been doing it for a long time, so he insisted that there is something wrong with my question..."
The smile on the little aunt's face froze all of a sudden, she felt that the little girl was very ignorant.
However, Wang Qianfan was even more ignorant, and he strode in furiously: "Who solved it? Impossible, there is a problem with your problem!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, my sister-in-law hurriedly said, "Okay, Qianfan, come and sit down and watch TV, isn't it just a question?"
"Impossible!" he roared.
The little girl stomped her feet angrily, and gave him the notebook: "Look for yourself, my questions are all right! The teacher even praised me."
Wang Qianfan took the notebook and looked at it, but the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and the more he looked, the uglier it was-he really solved it
Six ways to solve problems
How many minutes
Adults like to show off children, and they like to compare their grades. When this happened, the atmosphere was not very pleasant. My sister-in-law quickly grabbed the child and sat down, and warned him in a low voice: "Stop talking."
Ding Xuerun was annoyed when he heard the noise inside, so he took out his earphones and put them on, listening to the BBC broadcast downloaded from his mobile phone. He climbed up to the roof, from the roof to the roof, and sat on the ridge of the roof tiles.
The air and weather in my hometown are very good. At night, I can see thick and dark clouds, and the moon and stars are sparse.
Ding Zhaowen was playing cards and knew that his son would not run around, so he never noticed that Ding Xuerun was not in the house.
The other adults didn't care about where such a child went, as long as he didn't get lost.
Ding Xuerun was sitting at first, and then lay down on the ridge of the roof, and didn't care if his back was bent. He put his hands behind his head and supported the back of his head, looking at the night like water, his heart was very peaceful.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, Ding Xuerun received a message from Lou Xuan: "I will pull you into the group, and you go in to grab the red envelope."
Before the others could react, they were pulled in. Including him, there were thirteen people in the group.
They should all be friends of Lou Xuan.
Lou Xuan: "I'm at the same table, first in grade."
"Sixteen points more than the second place, that's awesome."
There was an uproar in the group, and Ding Xuerun had no choice but to come out and respond, and privately poked Lou Xuan: "I don't want to grab the red envelope, I'll refund it."
"You are stupid, don't quit! They all send out hundreds of thousands of dollars. I will send out fifty or two hundred yuan later. When I want to send out, I will let you know in advance. Be quicker, or open a cheat."
Lou Xuan also said: "After you grab it, give it one last thought, and you'll be done after one or two hundred."
Ding Xuerun thought about it and agreed.
The red envelope game lasted for an hour, and Ding Xuerun snatched thousands of yuan. At the end of the twelve o'clock, he sent out half, and the remaining half was sent to Lou Xuan alone, saying, "I stole a lot from you tonight."
Lou Xuan retreated back but Ding Xuerun didn't want it, and scolded angrily: "The reason for pulling you in is to let you grab the red envelope, so what's the matter if you return it all to me... Do you have any brains?"
"He has a better brain than you."
Lou Xuan could not refute.
It was exactly twelve o'clock, and it was the New Year. Fireworks bloomed in the dark blue night sky, and half of the town was lit up into daytime.
Lou Xuan's voice seemed insignificant in the roar of the fireworks. Ding Xuerun listened to it over and over again, and heard him say, "Runrun, Happy New Year."
He also sent a happy new year in the past.
Lou Xuan asked, "When are you coming back?" The candy factory bought them for you, so I don't believe you don't call me husband.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Ding Xuerun was caught in the cold. It was too cold, so he baked in the little sun for a while. The next day his hands were itchy all the time, and within two days he developed chilblains.
Ding Zhaowen went to the pharmacy to buy chilblain ointment for him.
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he took the train back to school. The journey was bumpy, and after more than 30 hours, his spirit became worse. He slept deeply for more than ten hours in the dormitory, and when he woke up he was hungry.
Since school hadn't started yet, and the cafeteria hadn't opened yet, Ding Xuerun went outside to eat a bowl of claypot rice. He ate very slowly, and the seat he was sitting facing the school gate seemed to be looking for something.
But in the end he didn't see Lou Xuanren either.
Ding Xuerun returned to the dormitory, and within a short while received a call from Lou Xuan: "Ding Xuerun, you're in a fucking donkey cart, it's the sixth day and you haven't returned to school yet?"
"I'm back."
"When? Didn't I tell you that I called my brother as soon as I got back!" Lou Xuan said in a bad tone.
Ding Xuerun was a little tired: "I fell asleep when I was too tired. I just woke up not long ago."
Lou Xuan lowered his banners and drums, stopped being aggressive, and said worriedly: "Then have you rested well?"
"Have a good rest. Lou Xuan, I brought you something and I'll bring it to you later."
"what?"
"Osmanthus centipede candy." He made it himself.
"Candy? Hey, what a coincidence! We want to go together!" Lou Xun said on his 30th day that he wanted to buy a candy factory, and after a few days of tossing around, he finally came down. This small sugar company was originally called Xihaha, and it mainly produces wedding candies and chocolates. Lou Xuan thought it was too vulgar, so she copied Wahaha, and changed it to Xilinmen with a swipe of a pen.
Lou Hongye was particularly satisfied with the name, and praised: "My son's books are not in vain, he is more educated."
Lou Xuan was very happy because Ding Xuerun was coming, so she took a shower, opened her mouth wide in front of the mirror, and checked her decayed teeth.
He has always had mild tooth decay, and the dentist told him to eat less sugar before, and he couldn't control his mouth. Fortunately, he is not a child anymore, only his big teeth are a little bit decayed, which does not affect his eating sweets.
Ding Xuerun entered his house, Lou Xuan was wearing pajamas, with water dripping from her hair: "Where's the sweet-scented osmanthus?"
"I've made a lot," Ding Xuerun handed him the bag, "You can eat it slowly, and put this in the refrigerator when the weather gets hot."
"Did you make it yourself?" Surprised and surprised, Lou Xuan reached out to take the candy. At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ding Xuerun's fingers wearing fingerless gloves, which were extremely red with small red bumps - the originally beautiful slender fingers were no longer visible.
He didn't know it was chilblains. She was so frightened that she didn't want the candy anymore, she grabbed Ding Xuerun's hand, feeling distressed: "Runrun, did you burn your hand when you made osmanthus candy for brother?"
