Chapter 384: Visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, the world is small
Flash.
The Spring Festival is here.
On the 2nd day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family dressed neatly and headed towards the county town early in the morning.
Yes.
They are visiting relatives today.
At Wang Xinyuan's family, his father Wang Guiyang turned 50 this year and they celebrated his birthday with great fanfare.
We arrived at the steel plant with ease.
On the way to the family quarters, before reaching Wang’s house, I saw the large square filled with tables, chairs and benches.
A rough count showed there were about 50 tables.
Come closer.
Hong Lizhen was the first to notice them and immediately came over to greet them warmly: "Su'e, you're here, come in and sit down."
The birthday boy, Wang Guiyang, followed closely behind: "Su'e, long time no see, thank you for coming."
"You're welcome, Brother Wang."
Lin Su'e: "It's your 50th birthday. I heard that you like playing with walnuts, so I asked someone to buy a pair of walnuts for you to play with. I hope you don't mind."
As he said this, he handed over the gift.
The gift was put in a small box, which was wrapped on the outside and tied with a bow with a bright red ribbon. This packaging method, which has become outdated in later generations, is particularly classy and stylish now.
Wang Guiyang smiled even more: "Wenwan walnuts? Su'e, you are so thoughtful. I will definitely like them."
"Thank you."
Lin Su'e waved her hand: "Xinyuan really understands you as a father. He told me that you would definitely like this gift."
Hearing this.
Hong Lizhen laughed with an ambiguous tone.
Wang Guiyang's face froze and he smiled ingratiatingly at his wife.
Hong Lizhen hummed in her heart: For Su'e's sake, I will not confiscate the pair of ornamental walnuts.
"Su'e picked it with great care, you must cherish it."
Wang Guiyang was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Okay, I will definitely cherish it."
He doesn't like smoking, drinking or playing cards. His only hobby is playing with walnuts. He has collected more than 50 pairs of walnuts at home. He plays with them in his hands every day when he has nothing to do, and even can't put them down when he sleeps. Last month, one of them accidentally dropped on the floor when his wife was making the bed. She didn't pay attention and stepped on it and almost slipped. He got very angry and confiscated all the walnuts.
This made him feel uncomfortable.
However, he didn't dare to go against his wife.
Fortunately.
The son came forward and sent him a pair of walnuts through Lin Su'e. For Su'e's sake, his wife had to accept it, hahaha~
Aside.
Lin Su'e didn't understand.
However, when he heard Wang Guiyang's words of importance and cherishment, he couldn't help but smile.
“…”
We exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Lin Su'e and her family sat down by themselves and chose an empty table at random.
Time passes.
There are more and more people.
Suddenly, Zhao Zhenli's surprised voice rang out: "Hey, it's Teacher Hong!"
Lin Su'e looked over subconsciously and saw Hong Sheng at a glance. At this moment, he was talking to a young man.
That man was Wang Xinyuan’s second brother, Wang Yinyuan.
It’s a small world indeed.
Zhao Zhenli recognized the person and immediately greeted him warmly: "Teacher Hong, Teacher Hong~"
Not far away.
Hong Sheng was surprised when he saw him.
Wang Yinyuan looked over and was slightly surprised: "Old Hong, do you know Zhenli?"
Hong Sheng nodded: "Yes, he is my student."
He said with emotion: "I didn't expect that you and their family are related."
Wang Yinyuan briefly explained the relationship between his family and the Zhao family: "We are relatives, Xinyuan from our family..."
After listening.
Hong Sheng suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that Zhao Zhenli's mother is such a great matchmaker~"
Wang Yinyuan winked and said, "Now I know. You can find a time to ask Aunt Lin to introduce you to a date."
Hong Sheng quickly waved his hands: "Forget it."
He is doing fine being alone now, and he doesn't want to be distracted by emotional matters and affect Zhenli.
Wang Yinyuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, that table tennis genius you were talking about, isn't that Zhenli?"
Hong Sheng was somewhat proud: "Yes~"
Wang Yinyuan was very excited: "Let's go over and have a chat."
Hong Sheng naturally would not object.
…
Back to Lin Su'e.
Zhao Zhenli waved his hands vigorously.
Hong Sheng responded with a smile and quickened his pace.
Lin Su'e said in surprise: "Teacher Hong, it's really you!!! I didn't expect you to be a relative of the Wang family. I don't think I've seen you before."
"hehe."
Hong Sheng smiled and explained, "Yin Yuan and I are classmates. He rarely comes home and we haven't seen each other for a long time. He invited me to be his guest and catch up with him."
Lin Su'e suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, what a coincidence~"
Zhao Zhenli also nodded: "Oh!"
Wang Yinyuan looked at him carefully for the first time, examining him from head to toe, and said in a kind tone: "Zhenli, your teacher praises you to me every day, saying that you are a genius. I am very curious. Let's go to school this afternoon and play a game?"
Zhao Zhenli was puzzled: "Huh?"
Hong Sheng smiled and explained, "Your uncle Yinyuan also plays table tennis. When he was a teenager, he won the Chengdu Table Tennis Championship and the runner-up in the National Youth Table Tennis Championship, and was admitted to Peking University."
"Unfortunately, I was injured again. After I recovered, I could no longer compete. Now I am a physical education teacher specializing in teaching table tennis at the Beijing Institute of Physical Education."
"Wow!" Zhao Zhenli's eyes suddenly lit up: "Uncle Wang, then aren't you very powerful?"
Wang Yinyuan said reservedly, "It's okay."
The sequelae of his injury do not support long-term competitions, but he can still handle one or two simple games. He has never given up physical training over the years and is confident that he is no worse than any other table tennis player.
The table tennis geniuses under his command at the Sports Academy are all obedient to him.
Zhao Zhenli couldn't wait any longer: "Uncle Wang, when are we going this afternoon?"
"I've had dinner."
Wang Yinyuan smiled: "Lao Hong and I are here to see you."
Seeing how much he was looking forward to it, he became a little excited after a long time.
It's really rare~
Wang Yinyuan looked at Zhao Zhenli and could clearly see the pure love for table tennis in his eyes.
At that moment, something extra occurred to him.
Flash by.
Aside.
Lin Su'e did not object. After they agreed, she smiled and said, "Then I'll ask Teacher Hong and Yinyuan to take care of my Zhenli this afternoon."
Hong Sheng: “No problem.”
Wang Yinyuan nodded.
Behind.
Hong Lizhen called out, "Second brother, come and help."
He immediately responded, “Okay.”
"Aunt Lin, Xiao Zhenli, I'm leaving first."
Lin Su'e: "Yes."
Zhao Zhenli: "Bye, Uncle Wang."
Hong Sheng also said: "Then I will go back and sit down first. It's almost time for dinner."
The two left.
Zhao Zhenli remained excited.
"Hey, do you guys want to watch me play table tennis this afternoon?"
He couldn't wait to let his family see him in action.
Zhao Zhenren refused: "No, I have something to do this afternoon."
How could my brother be as important as his girlfriend?
Zhao Zhenyi refused: "I have something to do too."
Same reason as above.
Zhao Chunlan and Lu Chengjun looked at each other, and Lu Chengjun smiled and said, "Next time, we've agreed with Baozhu to take her shopping."
Zhao Fenglan also shook her head: "Zhenxin's movie is on, the three of us are going to watch it."
After listening.
Zhao Zhenli pursed his lips.
"All right."
He held his chin and said disdainfully: "You are unlucky~"
Hearing this.
Lin Su'e laughed.
This kid!
Zhao Zhenren and his friends were also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
