"Zhao Pengfei, Li Qiang, what are you two dawdling about for? Hurry up and leave!"
After school that evening, Du Chen watched the two people behind him dawdling and couldn't help but urge them on. Because Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang were there, Du Chen had told Du Bin at noon that he would go home directly after school and not wait for him and Ding Miaomiao.
"Du Chen, wait, is there any fruit vendor on the way to your house?"
Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang looked around for a long time but couldn't find anyone selling fruit. As a last resort, Li Qiang asked Du Chen.
"Are you buying fruit? It's just around the corner. Why are you buying fruit?"
Du Chen didn't care and asked Li Qiang casually.
"Oh, my mom asked me to buy some fruit. We're out of fruit at home. I'm afraid there won't be anyone around after we use the telescope tonight, so I'm going to get some ready and go home straight after."
Li Qiang thought quickly and made up an excuse.
"That makes sense. Let's go. There's a fruit vendor around the corner."
After buying the fruits, looking at the big bag in Li Qiang's hand, Du Chen couldn't help but say to Li Qiang.
"Why do you buy so much at once? We can finish it in a short time. If we keep it there, it will become stale! At home, we usually buy food as we eat it. We never buy so much."
After listening to Du Chen's words, Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang looked at each other and felt that Du Chen was really pitiful, and his family conditions were really not good. Because in their minds, buying food on the spot meant that there was not enough money, so they could only buy less, and it would be gone after one or two meals.
Du Chen was walking upstairs and had no idea what Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang were thinking. If Du Chen knew, it would only make things more troublesome.
Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang looked at Du Chen's somewhat "thin" figure from behind, and felt that Du Chen was even more pitiful. In an instant, the two of them imagined a human tragedy in their minds, which moved them deeply.
The three of them walked for another three to five minutes and arrived outside the glasses store. Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang looked at the spacious storefront and the tall doorhead and were a little confused for a moment, but soon, Du Chen's words made them imagine that Du Chen's mother must be working here.
"Zhao Pengfei, Li Qiang, we're here. Let's go! My mom is waiting inside!"
Du Chen was the first to walk into the glasses store, followed closely by Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a middle-aged woman coming to greet them.
"Mom, this is my classmate, Zhao Pengfei, who's sitting behind me, and this is Zhao Pengfei's deskmate, Li Qiang!"
"Hello, Auntie!"
"Hello, hello, come on, come in and sit down!"
Ren Surong took a look at Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang, and at first glance they seemed to be relatively obedient children, unlike Du Bin and Chen Junfeng who were a bit of a ruffian. So at first sight, Ren Surong took a liking to them.
Chen Junfeng, who was playing games in the game hall in the living area, sneezed violently. In an instant, the game character he controlled was killed by the opponent. Chen Junfeng rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "What bad luck", then stuffed another game coin and continued to play the game.
"Auntie, this is the fruit we bought on the way. It's our first time here, sorry to bother you!"
At this time, the calm Li Qiang handed the fruit in his hand to Du Chen's mother. Du Chen also looked at Li Qiang and Zhao Pengfei in surprise.
"No need, I'm very happy that you're here. You can take some home and eat them yourself. Thank you!"
Ren Surong's face was full of smiles. Du Chen and the other two classmates were really polite, very good.
Li Qiang did not continue to refuse, but put the fruit on the counter beside him and answered Ren Surong's questions with the demeanor of a general.
"Du Chen, why are you standing here like an idiot when your classmates come and you don't entertain them?"
Ren Surong glanced at the dazed Du Chen and said dissatisfiedly that he didn't know what was wrong with his second son recently. Why was he always in a daze and sometimes even smiling foolishly? Could it be that he was followed by a dirty thing? Ren Surong thought a lot in an instant.
"Oh, I get it! Mom! Zhao Pengfei, Li Qiang, there are stools over there, you can sit down first."
Du Chen was in a daze because he felt that things were getting more and more serious. He was wondering how Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang would react when they found out that their family conditions were not what they said, and what the consequences would be for him.
Du Chen went to the refrigerator on the second floor and took down a few cans of Jianlibao, handed them to Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang, and opened a can himself. He felt that this stuff tasted much better than Coke.
Li Qiang looked at the Jianlibao in his hand, and then saw Du Chen drink half a bottle in one gulp. Li Qiang had a guess. He felt that he must have been cheated by Du Chen.
"Chenchen, is this your classmate?"
Just as Li Qiang was about to remind Zhao Pengfei, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao walked in from outside.
"Zhao Pengfei, Li Qiang, this is my brother Du Bin, and my sister Ding Miaomiao."
"Hello, brother, hello, sister!"
Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang greeted them quickly.
"Chenchen, give me a bottle of drink, I'm so thirsty!"
Du Bin looked at the drinks in the hands of several people and said to Du Chen.
Du Chen handed the other two bottles of Jianlibao he had just taken out to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Brother, is the astronomical telescope still in your class?"
Du Chen asked Du Bin, thinking of taking Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang to see the astronomical telescope later.
"Yeah, that's right. He's still in our class, but I don't know about tonight. Maybe he'll be moved to another class?"
Du Bin was not quite sure where the astronomical telescope would be at night. The head teacher wanted all the students in the grade to see the astronomical telescope, so it was not certain where it would be moved at night.
"Is that so? Then hurry up and eat. After dinner, I'll take them to check it out first, so we don't have to move them to other classes."
As they were talking, Ren Surong called everyone upstairs to eat. When Zhao Pengfei looked at the food on the table, he realized belatedly that Du Chen was lying when he said his family was poor!
At the beginning, Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang were a little reserved, but gradually they relaxed.
"Do Zhao Pengfei, Li Qiang, and Du Chen have many friends in the class?"
Ren Surong has always been worried about Du Chen making friends, because Du Chen is too lonely and has very few friends. Ren Surong even worried whether Du Chen would have enough friends to sit at a table when he got married.
"Auntie, Du Chen doesn't talk much in class. After class, he just stays in his seat and doesn't like to interact with others."
The chatterbox Zhao Pengfei didn't think much about it. When Du Chen's mother asked, he answered truthfully.
"Oh, is Du Chen obedient in class? Does he usually cause trouble?"
Ren Surong glanced at Du Chen and continued to ask Zhao Pengfei. Du Bin glanced at Zhao Pengfei and remembered what Du Chen had said about the chatterbox in the back seat. It seemed that Du Chen was right.
"Auntie, let me tell you, Du Chen usually..."
