After the college entrance examination, the parents felt relieved and relaxed for a rare time. Father Lin specially organized a group to go to a restaurant and booked a large private room.
People from five families gathered together and filled up the private rooms, creating a lively scene.
"Come on, let's raise a toast to celebrate the completion of the college entrance examination for the children!"
Father Shen picked up his wine glass and stood up from his seat, his face flushed with joy.
"Yes, yes, we should celebrate. Raise a toast!"
Lin's father, Jiang's father and others also stood up.
Being happy today, Dad Jiang specially brought two bottles of his treasured white wine from home, and even put wine glasses in front of Fang Siyan and Lin Ting.
After finishing high school, they suddenly became little adults and can now try things they have never done before.
Jiang Jingyu, Jiang Ma, and Lin Ma couldn't drink something as strong as liquor, so they ordered some cool drinks.
A dozen people gathered around the round table, talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very harmonious and everyone was completely relaxed physically and mentally.
After they had almost finished their meal, Mr. Jiang and his friends became a little tipsy and were eventually helped home by their wives and sons.
"Dad, slow down."
"Uncle Jiang, watch your step."
Jiang Jingyu and Fang Siyan each held one of Jiang's father's arms and reminded him to watch his step as they went upstairs.
"I'm not drunk. I, I'm not drunk."
Father Jiang's steps were light and his head was dizzy, but he still insisted that he was not drunk.
"Yes, yes, you're not drunk. You're not drunk, why are you swaying around here?"
Jiang Ma, who was walking side by side with Tang Ma, made a ruthless complaint upon hearing this, and everyone else laughed when they heard it.
Dad Jiang's body was swaying when he walked. Fortunately, Fang Siyan was there to support him, otherwise Jiang Jingyu and Mom Jiang would not be able to support him.
After getting drunk, Dad Jiang completely released his nature and started singing loudly.
It's nothing else, it's just that Dad Jiang is tone-deaf and always sings out of tune. Every time he hums at home, Mom Jiang, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, corrects him. Dad Jiang, who wants to save face, won't hum at home anymore.
Now drunk, his brain numbed by alcohol, Dad Jiang simply let himself go, humming whatever he wanted, and very loudly. The entire corridor was filled with his off-tune voice, and even neighbors came out to see what was going on.
Jiang Ma, Jiang Jingyu and others could only apologize to the neighbors who were disturbed with an apologetic look on their faces. Fortunately, the neighbors didn't care.
At this time, they had just finished their meal and were playing with their phones and watching TV, so they were not disturbed. After learning about the situation, they covered their mouths and went back.
Looking at Dad Jiang who was singing with a look of complete forgetfulness in front of him, Jiang Jingyu's mouth twitched. She wondered what a socially awkward scene it would be when Dad sobered up and met the neighbors again...
Fortunately, Jiang Jingyu lives on the second floor, so when she returns home, she can block out the howling of Jiang's father.
"Dad, slow down, we'll be home soon."
"Hey, girl, tell dad what song you want to hear, and he'll sing it for you!"
Dad Jiang looked at Jiang Jingyu with misty eyes and asked her to order a song.
Jiang Jingyu's mouth twitched: "No need, Dad, let's not sing for now, let's go home first."
Jiang Jingyu and Fang Siyan supported Jiang's father and turned the corner to go upstairs. Just as they were about to reach home, Fang Siyan suddenly stopped and the smile on his face disappeared.
"What's wrong, brother Si Yan?"
Jiang Jingyu looked at Fang Siyan in confusion, then followed his gaze and saw a familiar face.
Although I haven't seen him for several years, the person in front of me hasn't changed much from what I remember.
"Uncle Fang?"
She called out tentatively.
The person who came was none other than Fang Siyan's father, Fang Jizhong.
"You are... Jingyu?"
Fang Jizhong looked at Jiang Jingyu in surprise. It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up. Jiang Jingyu has grown into a graceful young lady over the years. He was a little hesitant to recognize her for a moment.
Jiang Jingyu smiled politely: "Uncle Fang, it's me."
Fang Jizhong also laughed: "I didn't expect Jingyu to have grown up so much. If she were to walk on the street, I wouldn't dare to recognize her!"
"Lao, Lao Fang? Is it Lao Fang?"
Father Jiang stopped howling and looked at Fang Jizhong in a daze.
Fang Jizhong excitedly walked up to Jiang's father and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Jiang, it's me! I didn't expect you guys to move to Los Angeles too!"
"Old friends meet again, let's drink!"
"You can't drink anymore today. Look how drunk you are. Let's meet up some other time. I didn't know you moved here. If I had known you moved to Los Angeles, I would have come to visit you a long time ago!"
When Fang Jizhong was greeting Jiang Jingyu and Jiang's father, Fang Siyan had a gloomy face the whole time, but he did not interrupt.
"Si Yan, the college entrance examination is over today, and Dad came to see you."
Looking at his son who was half a head taller than him, Fang Jizhong actually felt a little nervous.
Fang Siyan looked at him coldly and was about to speak——
"Why are you here? Didn't you agree not to disturb us in the future?"
After hearing Fang Jizhong's voice, Tang Wanhua took a few big steps up the stairs to the second floor and looked at him with a heavy expression.
Fang Jizhong quickly explained: "Wanhua, my son just finished his exam today, so I came to see you and your son."
"There's nothing to see, so hurry up and leave."
Tang Wanhua came to Fang Siyan's side with a frown on her face, and she didn't look happy towards Fang Jizhong.
"Mom, let's go home."
Fang Siyan raised his hand and put his arm around Tang Wanhua's shoulders, then walked around Fang Jizhong and came to the door of the house.
"Son, son, don't leave yet. Listen to me."
Fang Jizhong grabbed Fang Siyan's arm, but Fang Siyan pushed him away mercilessly.
Fang Siyan looked at him sinisterly, his words cold and heartless: "We've said everything we needed to say. There's nothing more to say between us. If you don't leave, I'll call the police."
At this time, Tang Wanhua also opened the door: "Si Yan, let's go home."
After Tang Wanhua and Fang Siyan returned home, Fang Jizhong subconsciously followed them.
"Wanhua, Siyan, don't leave, listen to me!"
Bang--
The response he received was the sound of a door slamming mercilessly.
This time, Fang Jizhong was turned away and locked outside by his own son.
He knocked on the door several times, but no one answered.
Jiang Jingyu and Jiang Ma exchanged a glance, then said to Fang Jizhong, "Uncle Fang, come to my house and sit for a while."
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Fang Jizhong sighed and turned to look at Jiang Jingyu's family: "Thank you for your help."
"Uncle Fang is being too formal. There's no trouble between us."
It is said that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. When the two families were neighbors, their relationship was as good as that of family members, so there was no question of trouble.
Finally, Fang Jizhong returned home with Jiang's father and mother.
After arriving home, Jiang Jingyu poured a glass of water for Fang Jizhong and took some fruit from the refrigerator, while Jiang's mother prepared a bowl of sobering soup for Jiang's father.
After everyone was seated, Jiang Ma asked, "What happened between you and Wanhua back then?"
