Chapter 141 New Direction, People from Qingpu

Zhang Wanwan looked around and looked at Yan Zeyu with gratitude, "Thanks to your help today, I'll thank you again when I have the chance. My brother should be here soon, I can just ask him to take me back later."

Yan Zeyu didn't argue any more. He nodded slightly, chuckled, and got on his bike. He saw Zhang Baiyan from a distance and said to Zhang Wanwan, "See you in Beijing now!"

"See you in Jing City, bye!"

After Yan Zeyu left, Zhang Baiyan also stopped in front of Zhang Wanwan, panting, and asked worriedly: "Aren't you surrounded by those reporters?"

Zhang Wanwan comfortably got on the back seat of the bicycle while carrying her things. "How is that possible! But I had a group of riders to help me, and I managed to get out of this situation. Isn't that amazing!"

Zhang Baiyan nodded affirmatively, "Great, very great! My parents are even better. After the regular customers knew you were the provincial champion, they almost carried our stall away. Now it's so crowded that you can't even see the stall. Some come to eat, and some come to see you. My parents are overwhelmed and can't handle it at all, but they're still enjoying it. I really don't understand! I'll take you home first. Don't go out and show off these few days!"

Zhang Wanwan: “.” It makes it seem like she often goes out to attract bees and butterflies.

When they returned home, Zhang Baiyan went downstairs to buy some vegetables to cook for her. Zhang Wanwan was bored, so she simply took the key Leng Ziyue left for her and opened the house next door.

Almost nothing inside was moved. When Leng Ziyue left, he only took a few sets of clothes and some small personal items. He left everything else here, including the guqin.

Stroking the strings of the piano, Zhang Wanwan's eyes were full of nostalgia. She still remembered the scenes when Leng Ziyue forced her to practice the piano. Everything was still vivid in her mind, but the most important person was no longer here.

Perhaps in order to comfort her soul, Zhang Wanwan always came to check in on time every day in the following days and studied the guqin seriously. With the foundation laid by Leng Ziyue and some online teaching videos to study, she did not find it difficult to learn.

Seeing that she was interested in the guqin, Zhang Baiyan simply enrolled her in an adult guqin training course nearby. Each class cost 60 yuan, and there were three classes a week, which meant more than a thousand yuan a month.

In addition, Zhang Baiyan asked her to take the driving test together. Now she was even busier and seemed to have returned to her previous fulfilling life.

It was still very easy to get a driver's license in 2009. In a small place like theirs, there are not so many rules and requirements. Generally, if you find a good coach and study hard, most people can pass it in one go.

The coach who trained them was found by Zhang's father through Li Haiquan. He was a friend of Li Haiquan and took good care of them. Basically, he took care of them first when there was anything.

Zhang Baiyan is now more tactful than before and knows how to return a favor. From time to time, he buys cigarettes, tea, etc. for his coach, just to express his gratitude.

The coach felt at ease accepting the students, and his care for them became more obvious.

For both of them, taking the driving test was as easy as defeating monsters. It was done in one go and smoothly.

At the end of August, Li Yongfu and a few others went to the city together.

I called Zhang's father and mother when I came here.

At this time, Zhang's father and mother were planning to go out to set up a stall, and they were both a little panicked when they received the call.

Zhang's mother was confused. "Old Zhang, what should we do? Why did my brother and his friends come so suddenly? They were like guerrillas. We haven't even bought any vegetables yet, and we still have to set up a stall. What should we do?"

Father Zhang pondered anxiously for a moment, then decided, "Forget it. Go to the stall first and tell the matter. Ask Lao Li to help take a look and buy some groceries. I will receive them at home now."

"Yes, yes, yes, look at me, I'm so anxious! They're already downstairs, why don't you come downstairs with me so I don't have to run up again!" Zhang's mother paced back and forth, making Zhang's father dizzy.

At this time, Li Yongfu and others who were standing outside the gate of Shuxiang Shijia Community looked up from time to time at the community and the surrounding high-rise buildings and the bustling streets, appearing a little restrained.

Li Yongshou asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you sure it's here?"

Li Yongfu frowned, his face full of seriousness, and nodded silently, "It should be correct. The person who sent us here said that this is a scholarly family. There should be no other scholarly family in Pu City."

Li Meili looked up at the high-rise buildings in the community and said, "Oh my god! The houses here are not cheap at first glance. They are completely different from our county town! How expensive are the houses here?"

Although the county town has accelerated its development in the past two years, it is sparsely populated due to its vast area, and many projects cannot be carried out. It cannot be compared with the rapidly changing city.

The Li Yongfu brothers both shook their heads. They had never inquired about it before, so they didn't know it now. However, Li Meili was right about one thing: the houses here must be not cheap.

Just as the three of them were standing there stupidly, Zhang's mother came out and saw them. She excitedly greeted them, "Brother, second brother, and sister, we are here!"

The three of them turned around suddenly and breathed a sigh of relief.

The security guard let them pass only after seeing that the three of them knew the owners of the community.

Along the way, Li Meili held Zhang's mother's hand tightly, her heart pounding as she said, "I was scared to death! We just wanted to come in, but the security guard at the door refused to let us in, and even asked us to tell him which building and which room the person we were looking for lived in. I discussed it with my eldest brother and decided that it would be more practical to call you directly. People in this city really know how to judge people by their appearance!"

Zhang's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sister, it's not what you think. The security guards here are all very nice. It's just that you are strangers, so you can't just come in casually. Not only you, but all non-owners who enter the community must report who they are looking for, which building and which household. They are just doing a routine job."

Li Meili still couldn't accept it. She only knew that Li Meilan's family had settled down in the city. Because she had never been there, she had heard everything about the city from hearsay and didn't have much feeling about it. Now that she has really been there, she can truly feel their difference. She feels that Li Meilan's family is now living a life of luxury, which is different from theirs.

Zhang's mother accompanied them to the elevator entrance before leaving.

Father Zhang led the group upstairs.

Li Meili was amazed again while riding in the elevator.

Even Li Yongfu had never sat on it. Only Li Yongshou had sat on it when he was working on a construction site. However, the elevators on the construction site could not be compared with this one at all.

The group reached the eighth floor and Zhang's father opened the door and invited them in.

After entering Zhang's house, the three of them seemed very reserved, and they felt that they couldn't see enough.

Mr. Zhang was very considerate. Apart from offering a warm welcome, he didn't show any abnormality at all. "Please sit down first. I'll get you a bag of tea."
