Chapter 12 The Question of Being Handsome or Not
As for Ge Zhihua, although he was dissatisfied with the police for not explaining things to him clearly, he did not dare to say it out loud. He got on his bike and quickly returned to Shangtuan Village.
Wang Guimei was guarding the store when she heard the sound of a motorcycle and came out to see: "How's it going? Is it done?"
"No, I still have to go to the secretary's house to complete the moving-in procedures." Ge Zhihua wiped the sweat from his face.
It is so hot today that people are about to melt in the sun on the road.
Wang Guimei nodded. She didn’t know about these procedures either. She wanted to ask others, but she didn’t seem to be able to bring herself to ask.
"Okay, I'll bring a pack of cigarettes and go with you." Wang Guimei said, and closed the door of the convenience store neatly.
Wang Hengjun, the village secretary of Shangtuan Village, lives at the end of the village. The two men rode their bikes directly there, but he was not at home. After searching for a while, they finally found him at the village committee.
"Secretary Wang, my husband needs your help with the relocation procedures." Wang Guimei smiled and saw that there was no one in the office, so she quickly handed a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes to Wang Hengjun.
After receiving the cigarette, Wang Hengjun's attitude improved. He was no longer in a hurry to process the paperwork for them. Instead, he took a sip of tea from his cup before slowly saying, "Ge Zhihua, right? You're lucky to be able to move into our village at this time, and the policy hasn't been released yet. If it were any later, you definitely wouldn't be able to move in."
"Hey hey hey, yes..." Ge Zhihua nodded hurriedly in response.
"Let me tell you, since you're married to Guimei, you're a member of Shangtuan Village. You'll definitely get a share of the demolition compensation," Wang Hengjun said in an official tone.
"Secretary, has the demolition been confirmed?" Wang Guimei asked hurriedly.
Wang Hengjun choked up and said, "Almost there, almost there."
I don’t know whether he was saying this to himself or to Wang Guimei and the others.
Wang Hengjun finished a cup of tea, boasted about the upcoming demolition, and finally raised his hand to complete the procedures for Ge Zhihua.
Ge Zhihua took the relocation certificate and walked out of the village committee with Wang Guimei, thanking them profusely.
"That's great, wait for the demolition, wait for the demolition..." Ge Zhihua was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Wang Guimei was also excited. Who doesn't want to be relocated? With this demolition, she would have both money and a house.
…
Ge Linlin came back from school. In the morning she was called Ge Linlin, but when she came back, she was told that her name was now Zhong Linlin. She was a little confused for a moment.
Zhong Hui had only mentioned it before, but had never formally told her daughter about changing her surname. Looking at her daughter now, she didn't know how to explain it to her.
Who would have thought that Zhong Xu was so clever? He immediately said, "Zhong Linlin sounds nice, much better than Ge Linlin. It sounds very fashionable, especially like the name of a female celebrity."
"Really?" Linlin's eyes widened when she heard that.
"Of course, think about it yourself, there are many female celebrities in Hong Kong with the surname Zhong." Zhong Xu was only ten years old and could not clearly tell what the names of these celebrities were, but he was smart and asked back immediately.
"Hehehehe, I like the surname Zhong, Zhong Linlin, it sounds so nice." Linlin cheered quickly.
Seeing her daughter happy, Zhong Hui felt relieved.
"That's great. We have to celebrate today. I'll go buy a cake." Yang Fangqin said with a smile.
"That's great, there's cake to eat." When the two children heard that there was cake to eat, they surrounded Yang Fangqin and chattered nice things.
"Mom, you look so beautiful today."
"Aunt, you look so beautiful today."
The two children spoke so sweetly that Yang Fangqin was overjoyed: "Let's go buy some cake."
"Let's go."
Yang Fangqin rode a motorcycle with two children sitting behind her. The three of them, mother and children, chatted and laughed all the way to the town.
As soon as Yang Fangqin and the others left, they saw Zhong Xiong, who had been squatting in the toilet for more than half an hour, finally came out.
"Hey, where are they?"
Zhong Hui was speechless. The two children were so loud, but he didn't hear them.
"I went to buy a cake."
"Oh, what cake?" Zhong Xiong asked casually. Before Zhong Hui could continue, he added, "I just had a long phone call with my friend. I asked him to start digging the trees tomorrow and send them over in the next two days."
"The ground hasn't been turned over yet?" Zhong Hui said hurriedly.
"It's okay, I'll find someone to do it. The hole for planting the lychee tree needs to be dug deep. If not, call an excavator." Zhong Xiong waved his hand.
Zhong Hui was a little surprised. Why was her elder brother so anxious? Excavators were so expensive. It was more cost-effective to do it manually.
"Let's call for manual labor. It's hard for an excavator to move underground."
"Okay, then I'll call more people. Strength lies in numbers, and the planting will be done in a few days." Zhong Xiong said excitedly.
Zhong Hui nodded and let him be. She didn't know why her elder brother was so troublesome.
Yang Fangqin soon came back with her two children, carrying a five-inch cake.
"Let's eat cake, let's eat cake." Brother and sister Zhong Xu and Zhong Linlin surrounded the cake and were reluctant to leave.
"Eat after you've finished your meal. I've already prepared the meal." Zhong Hui had already prepared the meal and was waiting for them to come back.
Zhong Xu and Zhong Linlin saw the cake and didn't want to eat anymore. They pouted and said, "Mom~"
"Aunt~"
Yang Fangqin stopped indulging them now: "Cut the cake after you've eaten. If you don't want to eat, don't eat the cake either."
The two of them immediately stopped arguing and started eating their meal obediently.
He quickly finished a bowl of rice and immediately started clamoring to cut the cake.
Yang Fangqin had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and cut the cake for them first so that she could eat in peace.
"I just took them to town and heard a lot of people talking about enrolling the children in interest classes. Summer vacation is coming soon, and if these two naughty kids stay at home all day, they will definitely make a big fuss. Hui, why don't we enroll Linlin and Zhong Xu in an interest class?" Yang Fangqin said to Zhong Hui.
Interest classes. Zhong Hui didn't sign her daughter up for that dance class last year and felt guilty for a long time. When she heard this, she immediately agreed.
"Sure, my daughter Linlin wanted to learn dancing last year, but I was busy and it wasn't convenient for me to pick her up, so I didn't sign her up. How about I sign her up for a dance class this year?"
Several interest classes have been opened in the town in the past two years. Parents are now paying more and more attention to their children's education. Zhong Hui used to think that as long as they could read, it would be enough.
Later, when I saw those girls who were learning to dance, their figures and temperaments were amazing, I changed my mind and thought that I should also develop special skills.
"Well, Zhong Xu, let me think about it. I want to enroll him in a basketball class, let him play basketball, run and jump more, which will help him grow taller." Yang Fangqin was particularly worried. If Zhong Xu took after his father, with a height of 1.6 meters and a weight of 160 pounds, it would be the end of him.
Zhong Xiong knew they were talking about him and quickly said, "When I was young, I wasn't fat either. I looked a bit like Aaron Kwok and was a handsome guy, too, okay?"
Haha, Yang Fangqin just wants to roll her eyes. Looks like Aaron Kwok? Is it just the hairstyle?
Over the years, the best thing about Zhong Xiong is that he is not bald like other men. Fortunately, he still has a lot of hair, otherwise, he would be even more unsightly.
Zhong Xiong was unhappy. He was very handsome when he was young, okay?
Otherwise, I won’t be able to catch up with Yang Fangqin?
