Chapter 419 Someone is looking for Xie Zheyu
In a blink of an eye, winter vacation is here.
The children who did not come back during the summer vacation are eager to go home.
As usual, Hongbin went to see Huang Ling the next day after he came back and brought her new chocolate with liqueur and red wine that he had bought at a Shanghai department store.
Unexpectedly, Tunan, Xingyan, Xiaoting, Dongzhe and Pengfei were all there.
Huang Ling suddenly had the urge to organize a fancy dinner in the afternoon.
She and her grown children enjoyed red wine and ham.
Underage children had soda with ham.
Everyone was grinning while eating.
Dongzhe was not afraid of death, so he said, "Auntie, I think you should stop eating that high-end ham and save it for cooking some tender bamboo shoots for you!"
The others didn't dare to say a word, but just looked at him in support of his bravery.
"You don't know how to appreciate French food, and you are the only one who has objections." Huang Ling rolled her eyes at him.
"It's not that I have an opinion, it's that I have the courage to raise it..."
Before Dongzhe could finish his words, the most honest Hongbin choked on a mouthful of red wine and started coughing.
Tunan took a sip of the red wine in the glass and suggested:
"Since everyone is here, let's go to Suihualou for dinner. It's my treat."
"I'll call Mom and ask her to leave some cakes for Xiaoting and Sister Xingyan." Hongbin got up and made a phone call.
Huang Ling went to finish her work for the day, and the children she hadn't seen for a long time were chatting animatedly in the conference room.
"The only one missing is Brother Zheyu. Did he go directly to Guangzhou?" Dongzhe thought of Xie Zheyu.
"No, he's at home. He said he will go to Guangzhou in a few days." Tuanan told Dongzhe.
"Brother Tunan, let's ask him to come with us for dinner. It won't be easy to meet Zheyu in the future." Dongzhe suggested.
"Okay, go call him, he should be at home." Tuanan nodded.
Dongzhe called and Zheyu happened to be at home. When he heard that everyone was there, he immediately agreed and made an appointment to have dinner.
As soon as Zheyu walked out of the family building, he saw his mother talking to a man in cotton mill work clothes at the guard post.
It was normal for the people from the dyeing factory and the cotton mill to know each other, but Zheyu took another look and was shocked to find that it was Wu Jianguo.
His heart was pounding and he hurried forward.
"Mom!" Zheyu shouted.
Mother Xie turned around and responded with a slight smile:
"This is your classmate's father. He said he was looking for you. I happened to walk over here and heard him asking around. I was just about to go up and call you!"
"Oh, Mom, then you go back and cook first. I won't eat at home. I have a dinner appointment with some friends." Zheyu patted his mother gently.
"Okay, then be careful when you come back at night."
Xie's mother nodded slightly to Wu Jianguo and entered the family compound.
"Hello, Uncle Wu." Zheyu was a little nervous when he saw Wu Jianguo. He didn't expect that Wu Jianguo could find his way here.
"Classmate Xie, you recognize me?" Wu Jianguo asked in confusion.
"I recognize you! We've met in the alley near Tuan's house. You're Tuan's neighbor." Zheyu answered with a smile. He deliberately avoided her because Wu Shanshan had seen him before.
"Ah... yes, Tunan and I are neighbors... Xie classmate..." Wu Jianguo hesitated and said, "Uncle has something to ask you."
"Uncle Wu, go ahead." Zheyu probably knew what he was going to ask, but his heart was still beating fast.
"I heard... I heard from Shanshan's high school classmates that you... you are good friends... you know... you know..." Wu Jianguo stammered for a long time without saying a complete sentence, for fear that people would laugh at him.
When he did this, Zheyu was no longer panicked. He said to Wu Jianguo:
"Uncle Wu, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Don't treat me as an outsider. Tunan and I were high school classmates and are now university alumni. We know each other very well."
"Oh, I know, I know. You are also the best student in No. 1 Middle School and you are studying in Tsinghua University like Tunan. I know, I know. I just want to ask if you have contacted our Shanshan, Wu Shanshan, after you went to college." Wu Jianguo finally asked.
The New Year is approaching, and Wu Jianguo misses Wu Shanshan and Wu Jun so much that he cries whenever he thinks of them, but he doesn't dare let Zhang A'mei know.
When the winter vacation came, he went to find Wu Shanshan's homeroom teacher at No. 1 Middle School. The principal and the director had already informed the homeroom teacher, so he did not tell Wu Jianguo any useful information. He just said he didn't remember, probably in Beijing, maybe in the west, and said something random.
Wu Jianguo didn't dare to go to anyone like the director or the principal, let alone a place like the Education Bureau.
He was even more afraid that Zhang A-mei would find out if he looked everywhere, so he could only do it quietly.
But based on his understanding of Wu Shanshan, he didn't know any of Wu Shanshan's high school classmates at all.
Just then, he suddenly thought of someone.
She was a middle school student one grade younger than Wu Shanshan, named Cai Xiaoying. Her mother was also an employee of the cotton mill. Because her father was seriously ill, the family relied on her mother for support. She had good grades and was also sponsored by the Huang Ling Garment Factory like Wu Shanshan.
The reason why I know this girl is that when Zhang A'mei went to make trouble because Wu Shanshan worked in the garment factory, the neighborhood committee director used this girl as an example, because Wu Jianguo and her mother had worked in the same workshop, and the two were not familiar with each other but knew each other.
Cai Xiaoying was disqualified from funding because she was dishonest and her grades dropped. After graduating from high school, she failed to get into university and went to work as a temporary worker at the No. 2 Cotton Mill.
In fact, it would have been better if the person worked at the cotton mill, because everyone knew about their family affairs.
So when he found Cai Xiaoying, Cai Xiaoying started chatting with him.
Speaking of Wu Shanshan, she said with disdain:
"I remember her very clearly. I can still remember her arrogant look! We were all from the cotton spinning industry after all, but she would hold her chin high when she spoke to me. She relied on her close relationship with Director Huang to boss us around."
Wu Jianguo didn't know how to respond.
"I know she ran away after going to college and didn't care about her family. She's an ungrateful person at first glance! Uncle, you've raised this daughter in vain." Cai Xiaoying continued.
Wu Jianguo sighed: "I just want to know if she is doing well, not to look for her."
"Uncle, I don't know where she is. I saw her when I was in high school, but she was a grade higher than me. I haven't seen her since she went to college." Cai Xiaoying shook her head.
Just as Wu Jianguo was about to leave in disappointment, Cai Xiaoying stopped him.
"Uncle, but there is someone who may know."
Wu Jianguo looked at her in surprise and waited for her to speak.
"There's a guy named Xie Zheyu. He's a classmate of Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Hongbin. He sometimes does odd jobs at the factory to earn money. From what I can tell, they're in a relationship. His parents are employees of the dyeing factory, so they live in the second dormitory building."
The reason why Cai Xiaoying knew so much was that she fell in love with Xie Zheyu the first time she saw him. She asked around for news about him and tried to provoke him at school and at the factory. However, Xie Zheyu was completely devoted to Wu Shanshan and was not shaken at all. When he saw her coming, he jumped away as if he had seen a chili pepper.
When Wu Jianguo got the news, he hesitated for a long time, but still came over.
