Chapter 535 Something went wrong (seventeenth update)
Early the next morning, Zhong Meixin gave Di Guoliang a few more words before going out with Pei Donggang. The two of them worked out a plan on the way before they went to work separately.
Taking advantage of the free time at noon, Zhong Meixin returned to her parents' home and told her about bringing Di Guoliang to her house tomorrow.
The Zhong family started to get busy. In fact, they had been preparing for it for a long time. They mopped the floor until it was shiny, bought some fresh fruits, meat and vegetables, put on their best clothes, and got ready.
The distance from Pei's house to Zhong's house is not that far, it only takes twenty minutes to walk there, passing by the supply and marketing cooperative in the middle.
When Di Guoliang was about to go out, he smiled and said to Pei Donggang: "Dad, didn't you say you wanted to buy me a bicycle? It just so happens that you bring money and tickets this time, so I don't have to find time to go out with you on the street."
Because Pei Donggang and Zhong Meixin had something on their minds, there was no excuse this time. Pei Donggang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I bought it for you on the way. It's a reward from dad."
Di Guoliang looked slightly excited, "I didn't expect that I could buy a bicycle with my own ability. Thank you dad!"
There were not many bicycle brands and styles in the supply and marketing cooperative. Di Guoliang took a quick look and settled on the most expensive one. He also listed a series of bikes that matched his own.
Pei Donggang smiled, gritted his teeth, took out the money and tickets and bought it.
They all planned to plunder all Di Guoliang's money, so they did not worry about the details.
Although Di Guoliang has never owned his own car, the village chief’s family has a bicycle, and the village chief’s grandson happens to be his younger brother. So he is the person who touches bicycles the most, except for the village chief's children.
He was very curious about riding a bicycle, darting in and out of the alley, ringing a bell from time to time, and listening to the crisp sound, he felt silly and happy.
However, he had already planned that while he was in Shanghai, he would turn the Jiang family and the Zhong family upside down and tear off the couple's hypocrisy.
At least they must allow me to go to school, and the bicycle will completely belong to me!
However, Di Guoliang took advantage of the couple not paying attention, rode his bicycle around to the cameraman, and whispered: "Uncle, I always feel that my father agreed to buy me a car, which is too refreshing. This is not like them at all." .
My classmate Cao said that if something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
They must be holding back some bad news.
Uncle, please be more careful later. By the way, do you have any extra cameras? Give me a spare one. "
The cameraman and assistant also became nervous after hearing what he said.
"Yes," the assistant pulled out a small camera from the bag, "Liangzi, you should be able to use it, don't you need us to teach you? But be careful when using it, the instrument is expensive and fragile."
Di Guoliang nodded repeatedly, put away the camera, and continued walking on his bicycle.
Mrs. Zhong and Mr. Zhong worked for decades and earned a small three-bedroom apartment. Later, they retired and gave up their jobs to their two sons.
Zhong Da and Zhong Er have been working for seven or eight years, but the welfare housing in their workplace is tight, and many families are waiting in line, so the entire Zhong family still lives together.
However, their home is well decorated, with uniform-colored furniture, beige tiles, and various floral and lace-style fabric decorations. It is a typical home with a strong petty bourgeois sentiment in the city in the 1980s.
As soon as Di Guoliang entered the door, he was stopped by Zhong Dajinzi, "Di Guoliang, right? Come in after changing your shoes. I'll leave them at the door for you."
He shrugged.
It’s not his first day in the city. How has he never changed his clothes when he came home? Is it necessary to point it out as soon as he comes in?
The audience couldn't help but curl their lips, some of them didn't like Zhong Dajinzi's behavior.
When Pei Guangchuan and Pei Xueyang saw their parents coming, they both ran out of the back room happily, threw themselves at them with a smile, then turned their heads to see Di Guoliang, and said with pursed lips, "Mom and dad, why is this loser here?"
Everyone was silent, but Zhong Meixin reacted first, smiling and tapping her daughter's nose, "Little naughty, why are you talking to your brother? You have to call me brother!"
Your brother is really awesome. He got into the top 100 in this exam and earned a lot of face for his parents. You must learn from him in the future. "
Then she turned her head and said to Di Guoliang with a smile: "Your brothers and sisters are young..."
Di Guoliang nodded, "I don't blame them either.
They are young and don’t know what rice bucket means. They must have learned it from somewhere. "
There were smiles on everyone's faces.
Zhong Erjinzi invited them to sit down and brought everyone a cup of brown sugar and eggs, "You are in for a treat. We happened to buy fresh shrimps, yellow croakers and hairtails today, and we will fry them for you later."
Zhong Meixin smiled and said: "Indeed, Guoliang, there are a lot of seafood in Shanghai, but it is not easy to eat fresh ones in winter. Someone will have to organize ice-breaking fishing someday."
Fish and shrimp in winter are particularly delicious, especially fried, so fragrant! "
Old man Zhong coughed.
Zhong Meixin immediately pulled Di Guoliang forward and said with a smile: "This is your grandpa and grandma."
Di Guoliang laughed and immediately bowed and shouted: "Hello, grandma, hello, grandpa!"
“Hey, hello,” the two old men smiled and nodded.
“You don’t have to be too formal when you come home. Our family doesn’t have many rules, so it’s the easiest to get along with,” Mrs. Zhong said, holding tea.
She was wearing a gold velvet straight buttoned gown with a white lace collar and a few pearls inlaid in it. I just went to the barber shop to dye my hair black a few days ago and tied it neatly behind my head.
Although she is over fifty years old, she does not have many wrinkles on her face. Dressed like this, she looks ten years younger.
Old man Zhong who was sitting on the sofa also coughed lowly, put down the newspaper, and lowered his head slightly to look over his reading glasses.
This is a posture he learned from watching TV, and it makes him look particularly cultured and elegant.
He called Di Guoliang and said with a straight face:
“I heard from your mother that you ranked in the top 100 of your grade this time and improved by hundreds of places?
Continue to study hard in the future, but don’t be complacent and proud just because of your achievements.
Your uncle’s child is a few years younger than you. Although he has not yet entered junior high school, he is still ranked high in the class. Don't let your younger siblings overtake you. "
The little ones smiled sweetly when they received the adults' glances. They stepped forward and called their brothers, and introduced themselves in detail.
Of course their parents also pretended to introduce themselves to Di Guoliang, but in fact they took this opportunity to show their faces in front of the audience. They must have prepared the manuscript in advance, recited it many times in secret, and made up many glorious stories of their own, which were so sensational that the audience had goosebumps all over their bodies.
Di Guoliang only listened to the two of them, so he immediately intercepted their words and said with a smile: "I know these things. My mother has told me all these things. Are these the second uncle and the second concubine?"
