It was almost eleven o'clock, the fourth class had already started, and now it was impossible to run away. Lin Xiaobin and Wu Yuan had to wait until after class. Lin Xiaobin's hands quickly exploded, and he sent more than a dozen emoticons to wish Xiao Nanzai a happy birthday, and complained why he didn't say it earlier, and the birthday gifts were not prepared.
Xiao Nanzai: You should study hard, stop playing with your mobile phone, and be discovered by the teacher later.
Brother 1: …
Shake Shake: When you get caught in the office, you won't even be able to eat.
Brother 1: …
Gu Qinan looked at his slippers and home clothes and said, "I'll go home and change my clothes first."
Zhan Ming followed him and helped him with his summer homework.
Gu Qinan rambled: "Today is my birthday, but I have to go to class. I originally wanted to invite you to come to my house to celebrate my birthday together. But my parents said that if you come to celebrate your birthday at home, you may feel bored, saying that only children can I have a birthday at home. Let me invite you to dinner when the time comes. I don’t know, I haven’t invited my friends to my house for a birthday! Oh, I did when I was in elementary school. But it wasn’t me, it was my mother. , invited a few of my classmates. It was boring, not fun at all, and I didn’t know why I asked them to come to my house to eat my birthday cake. Since then, I have only celebrated my birthday with my parents.”
Zhan Ming has been listening to him.
I haven't listened to Xiao Nanzai for more than two days. Hearing him gossip, I actually think it's cute.
No longer empty.
Gu Qinan pressed the elevator, and kept saying while waiting, "But this time I really want to invite you to come to my house for your birthday! It's just... I'm not very happy, so I don't even think about it."
Zhan Ming reached out and touched his head.
Gu Qinan lowered his head and muttered: "Don't touch it, men's heads can't be touched, and the president is not tall."
Zhan Ming coughed twice to hide his laughter, but Gu Qinan still heard it. Gu Qinan was dissatisfied: "I've really grown two centimeters taller! If I didn't wear shoes, it's actually one meter seven!"
Zhan Ming hooked his neck, pulled him into the elevator, and said perfunctorily, "Understood, I think he has grown a lot taller."
But still only to Zhan Ming's shoulders.
Gu Qinan muttered: "You are too tall..."
Gu Qinan's house is on the seventeenth floor, the elevator is very clean, and it can be seen that the property management is very good. Unlike Uncle Zhanming's property, the corridors are not clean.
Zhan Ming watched Gu Qinan enter the password to open the door, and said to him, "Come in, Brother Zhan."
Gu Qinan searched the shoe cabinet for a long time before he found a pair of slippers and said, "Can I wear this pair? Will it be too small? I don't know which compartment the guest's slippers are placed in..."
Gu Qinan was talking and was surprised to find out: "Brother Zhan, you are the first classmate to come to my house after I graduated from elementary school!"
Zhan Ming reluctantly put on slippers one size smaller and said, "I rarely go to other people's houses."
Zhan Ming rarely goes to his classmates' house. The last time he went to his classmate's house was probably in the first year of junior high school. At that time, my grandmother was still there, and she would tell him that you should be polite when you go to other people's houses, don't touch them randomly, and also asked him to invite classmates to play at home. Grandma's house is small and old, but it is clean and dust-free. Grandma will also cook delicious food for his classmates to eat, a little snack, mung bean soup, triangle cake, or vegetable cake.
After grandma left, he had no place to invite his classmates to play, and he never went to anyone else's house.
Gu Qinan forgot and asked happily, "Can I go to your house next time?"
Zhan Ming was silent for a while, until Gu Qinan finally remembered that he was staying at his uncle's house, and hurriedly said, "I forgot that you lived at your uncle's house..."
"It's alright." Zhan Ming said, "Wait later, when I have my own house, I will invite you to play."
Gu Qinan became happy again: "Okay! But how long will it take? You have to go to college, you have to work after college, the house is very expensive, how long does it take to save money..."
Zhan Ming had never said this to anyone, but he looked at Gu Qinan's expectant eyes and couldn't help but express his expectations.
"You can buy a small, second-hand one, not in the city center or in the school district, and it won't be so expensive. When you can afford it, change to a bigger one."
Gu Qinan listened with a vague understanding, and went into the kitchen to pour Zhan Ming a glass of lemon honey water made by his mother.
He was young and never thought about that.
Zhan Ming took the honey water and asked him to go into the room to change his clothes.
Gu Qinan's home is very large, the living room is spacious, and there is a large balcony outside, full of flowers. Their home is decorated beautifully and warmly, the kind that has been carefully designed by designers.
When he first met Gu Qinan, Zhan Ming knew that Gu Qinan was a different person from him, even from Lin Xiaobin and Wu Yuan.
The family is well-off, and their parents are probably highly educated elites.
He comes from a middle-class family in the city.
The area of No. 1 Middle School is different from that of No. 7 Middle School. The students of No. 1 Middle School come from different families than those of No. 7 Middle School, at least most of them are different.
The place where No. 7 Middle School is located is on the outskirts of the city. Most of the people in this area were rural villages on the outskirts of the city at that time, and some were small families who could not afford a house in the city center and retired to the suburbs.
If it wasn't for the accident in Gu Qinan's life, he and Gu Qinan would have nothing to do with each other.
As for him, he likes to fight, he has been in the police station, and he has been detained. He is a gangster from the bottom of the city. It is fundamentally different from Gu Qinan, who is well-bred and well-educated.
Gu Qinan stuck his head out of the room, put on his clothes and asked, "I suddenly remembered, what about your grandma's house? You can live there! You don't eat at your uncle's house anyway, and they are right. You're not good."
"That house has been sold by my uncle." Zhan Ming said calmly.
He didn't tell anyone this and felt embarrassed, but he said it naturally to Xiao Nanzai.
Gu Qinan jumped out, shocked: "Why!"
Zhan Ming thought it was obvious, but Gu Qinan couldn't think of it, because he was a child who grew up in a happy family and didn't worry about money.
"My uncle is the first-in-line heir. He sold the house and changed it to a bigger one." Zhan Ming said.
Zhan Ming sat on the sofa, Gu Qinan stood in front of him, looked at him, and murmured, "How can this be..."
Why not
His uncle's family of four originally lived in a 60-square-meter house with only two small rooms, one for his uncle and his cousin, and one for his aunt and cousin. Because I didn't have my own room, my cousin and my cousin had many troubles. After inheriting his grandmother's house, his uncle quickly sold the two small houses and replaced them with a small three-bedroom house of 90 square meters.
It's enough for Zhan Ming to squeeze with them. Anyway, Zhan Ming is still young and can't live alone.
Zhan Ming stood up, hooked Gu Qinan's neck, pulled him out, and said, "Open the door for seven things, you have to ask for money, such as chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. This is the reality. What are you worrying about?"
Gu Qinan closed the door and asked in surprise, "Brother Zhan, it's strange to hear the firewood, rice, oil, and salt from your mouth. You're so cool, so you're going to worry about this?"
cool
Not cool at all.
Worried about money.
Zhan Ming pulled him into the elevator and asked him, "What time is it? Did Lin Xiaobin and Wu Yuan set off?"
Gu Qinan quickly looked at the time: "Fortunately, it's almost past now."
Gu Qinan was interrupted and forgot the original topic.
When the four of them met, it was after twelve o'clock at noon, not on weekends, and the restaurant was not very crowded. Gu Qinan invited the three of them to eat barbecue, and Lin Xiaobin was the first to show his approval.
As for the barbecue restaurant, it has already been selected. In Gu Qinan's plan, he just wanted to invite the three of Zhan Ming to eat barbecue. He was disturbed by the submission of the confession wall, and he lost his mood. He didn't want to celebrate his birthday. But when Brother Zhan stood in front of him with a box of four fruit soup, he was in a better mood.
So good for a birthday.
The barbecue restaurant was well decorated. After the waiter took them to their seats, Lin Xiaobin took Wu Yuan to get the meat. After a while, the two of them came back with four plates of beef, pork belly, chicken wings, and prawns. The two of them put down the four plates and immediately turned around to get four plates full of meat.
The waiter brought two pots of green lettuce, various seasonings, and kindly asked if he needed help with the barbecue.
Lin Xiaobin waved his hand and said no, and the waiter gave them a pinch of watermelon juice and left.
Lin Xiaobin clicked his tongue: "The service of this barbecue restaurant is really good. I have never seen such a good service in a self-service barbecue restaurant. Seeing that we have taken so much meat, it is so kind."
Wu Yuan used a clip to pick up the pork belly, put it on the grill first, and commented: "These meats are very fresh and the meat quality is good. How much does this store cost per person?"
Gu Qinan watched Zhan Ming help him roast pork belly, and while urging him to roast chicken wings, he shook his head: "I don't know, the waiter has already taken away the coupon my mother bought for me."
Lin Xiaobin burst into laughter: "Little Nanzai, are you a primary school student? Your mother didn't choose this store, did you?!"
"Yes! My mother picked it, she picked several restaurants." Gu Qinan counted with his fingers, "Hotpot restaurant, sushi restaurant, Cantonese-style refreshment, American restaurant... I think you will like to eat barbecue, because last time you went to the beach Barbecue, everyone ate a lot."
Lin Xiaobin picked up a piece of pork belly, dipped it in a bunch of chili powder, cumin pepper, and wrapped it in lettuce, so hot that he stuck his tongue out.
Wu Yuan was speechless: "Bin, can you look like someone who has seen the world? Would you be more elegant?"
Lin Xiaobin chewed two mouthfuls, and said loudly: "No! This is self-help! It must be expensive, I want to help Xiao Nanzai eat back!"
Wu Yuan scolded him: "You eat slower, eat more, are people urging you? Look at Brother Zhan, you are not in a hurry to eat yourself, selfless dedication, roll one for the birthday star first, so touching!"
Zhan Ming was taking his time, rolled a lettuce bun for Gu Qinan, and handed it to Gu Qinan.
Gu Qinan took it and said with a smile, "Thank you Brother Zhan!"
After eating, Zhan Ming gave him another roll.
Seeing that the pork belly was almost cooked and the lard was sizzling on the grill, he put on the chicken wings that Gu Qinan had been urging. When the chicken wings were turned over, I hurried to eat two.
Lin Xiaobin shook his head, tsk tsk admiration: "Brother Zhan, what kind of spirit is this?!"
Zhan Ming didn't give them a single glance, and said coldly: "Today is Xiao Nanzai's birthday, the roasted meat will be the first for Xiao Nanzai to eat, the juice is out, and quickly pour it on Xiao Nanzai, Xiao Nanzai thinks. What to eat, you two quickly go get it."
Lin Xiaobin made a flick of his sleeves and said, "Hey!"
Wu Yuan said, "Here!"
Gu Qinan laughed until he fainted.
It was already two o'clock when he came out of the barbecue shop. Gu Qinan thought it was incredible that he even ate two hours of barbecue.
"I think if the barbecue shop has customers like us, it will close sooner or later." Gu Qinan said seriously.
Wu Yuan corrected: "It's customers like Lin Xiaobin that make the self-service stores close down."
Lin Xiaobin was weak: "Brother Zhan eats more than me, why don't you say Brother Zhan?"
"Brother Zhan didn't eat like a bird like you!" Wu Yuan said.
Lin Xiaobin waved his hand: "I can't talk anymore, and I'm going to vomit."
It was still very hot outside the mall, and the four of them didn't want to go out to bask in the sun. After discussing for a long time, they decided to go to the movies.
On the top floor of the shopping mall is a movie theater. The four people stood outside and studied for a long time, picked a popcorn movie, and spent more than an hour in the movie theater.
When he came out, Gu Qinan looked at his phone, it was past four o'clock.
"I played for another day." Gu Qinan sighed.
Lin Xiaobin shouted: "It's only half a day! It's only four o'clock! Keep playing~"
Gu Qinan was dumbfounded.
The three of Zhan Ming discussed for a while and decided to go boating in the nearby Nanhu Park.
Boating, omg.
Gu Qinan felt that he was like a primary school student. He was dragged away by his elder brothers. The four of them slapped each other and arrived at Nanhu Park.
It was still quite hot at Nanhu Park after four o'clock. After paying the money for the cruise, the four of them were already sweating.
Wu Yuan sighed: "It's so silly to row a boat in July."
However, after getting on the cruise ship, I found that the lake was quite cool, and the breeze was blowing, which was a bit pleasant.
The cruise ship is pedaled, and the four people are like riding bicycles, pedaling slowly, slowly swinging on the huge lake.
"I paid for an hour. What's the hurry?" Lin Xiaobin said.
Although it is hot, there are still many cruise ships on the lake.
Wu Yuan said, "Why are there so many stupid people?"
Gu Qinan smiled and said, "It's quite fun!"
Lin Xiaobin sighed: "Primary school students are really easy to be satisfied. On my birthday, I go to KTV to sing until the early morning, blow bottles with Brother Zhan until I get a hangover, this is the world of adults!"
Zhan Ming reminded: "It's your hangover, not me."
Gu Qinan is embarrassed: "Singing is fine, but I can't drink..."
"Don't listen to his nonsense, stop singing." Zhan Ming said after him.
Lin Xiaobin nodded: "I don't want to go to KTV anymore. Your mother bought the restaurant coupons. What do you do when you go to KTV? You haven't been to KTV, have you?"
Gu Qinan nodded: "I haven't been there, I can't sing."
Wu Yuan said, "Lin Xiaobin didn't buy any gifts. He doesn't have the face to go to KTV to drink again. How much does he have to drink from you!"
Lin Xiaobin scolded: "Wu Yuan, you idiot, have you prepared a gift?!"
"It's ready." Wu Yuan said slowly in front, "A sincere blessing, I wish you a happy birthday!"
"Fuck!" Lin Xiaobin cursed.
Cursing and cursing, Lin Xiaobin suddenly sang loudly on the lake: "Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~"
Wu Yuanjia came in, and even Zhan Ming started to sing.
The tourists on the cruise boats looked at them in surprise. Gu Qinan blushed and whispered, "Stop singing, stop singing, everyone is watching us..."
However, the three of Zhanming stubbornly finished singing Happy Birthday.
Lin Xiaobin also took out his mobile phone and took a video.
I almost dropped my phone in the water.
