Chapter 455 An Unexpected Encounter with Teacher Yan
Upon returning to Yizhou City, Shen Xuewei received a warm welcome from the Chu family.
After finishing her meal at the Chu family's house, Shen Xuewei returned to her own house, shutting out all the hustle and bustle.
The Chu family moved to the city, but most of their relatives are still in their hometown.
There is a close relative in Mingda Town who recently held a wedding banquet for their son and invited the Chu family.
Grandpa Chu couldn't stand the car ride, so he waved his hand and refused to go. Instead, he dragged Chu Dexi downstairs to find a chess friend to play chess with.
Chu Fu and Chen Fangli are addicted to making money and can't bear to close their hamburger shop, not even for a day.
Finally, the two of them turned their gazes to Shen Xuewei and Chu De'an.
"Vivi, Dean, you two have nothing better to do than stay away from Mingda Town for quite a while, haven't you?"
"How about this, you two go to the banquet, so you'll have company. Write down the gift money by name, specifically Chu Dasheng, which is Grandpa De'an's name, understand?"
They usually call him "Grandpa, Grandpa," so this is the first time they've heard his real name.
"knew."
The two accepted the task. Shen Xuewei was about to go back to her room to change her clothes before going out when she suddenly remembered a question.
"Second Aunt, Second Uncle, how much should we give as a gift?"
In rural areas, when people hold banquets, they cannot give gifts indiscriminately.
Chu Fu slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory, I almost forgot. Weiwei, De'an, wait a minute, I'll go check the gift register and see how much money they gave us as gifts before."
The gift book was in Grandpa Chu's room. He went to Grandpa Chu's room to find it, and flipped through the pages until he finally found the record.
“Here it is, I found it, let me see… Last time Kang Kang’s full moon celebration, his family gave 200 yuan.”
"And back when De'an had his baby's full moon celebration, his family seemed to have given 200 yuan as well. It's been over twenty years, why is his family only having a banquet now?"
Chu Fu was a little embarrassed. "Ali, how much do you think we should give as a gift?"
"Two hundred each time, that's four hundred in total, but it's been so many years, it's not right to just give four hundred... How about six hundred?"
"It seems a bit short. When I was hauling goods in town, I often went to his house to ask for water..."
Chen Fangli thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make it a round number, one thousand."
“There are some red envelopes I just bought a few days ago in the room. Put a thousand yuan in there and give the red envelopes to Vivi and Dean to take over.”
"Okay, I got it. You two wait a moment, I'll pack up the red envelopes and bring them to you."
Shen Xuewei went back to her room to change her clothes. When she came out, Chu De'an proudly waved a red envelope in front of her.
"The red envelope is with me, let's go, sis."
There are only a few days of Chinese New Year each year, and Shen Xuewei's assistant and bodyguard were on holiday, so the two of them had to drive to town by themselves.
A row of cars were parked in the underground parking garage, and the two of them parked in front of a white Porsche.
Shen Xuewei took the key out of her bag and tossed it to Chu De'an.
"You drive."
“Dear sister, yes sir.”
He started the car and drove Shen Xuewei towards the town.
Holding the steering wheel in his hands, he couldn't put it down. "The feel of this car is so much better than my dad's BYD."
Chu Fu and his wife made money running a hamburger shop, but they didn't have high material needs.
After the previous minivan was retired, I bought a BYD worth over 100,000 yuan to drive.
Shen Xuewei, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her gaze away from the car window and glanced at him.
Which one do you like?
Chu De'an nodded sincerely, "I like it."
Shen Xuewei lowered her head to reply to the message, casually saying:
"If you like it, I'll give it to you after you graduate."
Chu De'an was overjoyed, but then calmed down.
"Forget it, sis, I don't want it. Driving this car makes me feel a bit arrogant."
Shen Xuewei glanced at him and said, "It's just a car worth a million or so, what's there to brag about?"
"I've had this car for a few years, but I don't really like driving it. I'd like to get a newer one. If you don't like it, I can sell it to a used car dealership..."
Chu De'an vaguely remembered that his sister had bought the car less than three years ago.
She only comes back three or four times a year, and doesn't even drive it many times. It's still so new, doesn't she like it?
However, considering the several luxury cars in her villa garage, this car really doesn't look that great in comparison...
"No, sis, I like this car. Don't sell it, keep it for me."
He will be a senior in September, and by then he will be looking for an internship, and graduation will not be far away.
If you can have a car right after graduation, won't you leave your classmates far behind?
He grinned foolishly, while Shen Xuewei smiled and closed her eyes to rest.
"Keep driving carefully, and don't doze off. I'm going to take a quick nap; wake me up when we're almost there."
"Okay, sis, I've got your back."
The car was driving smoothly on the road. When they were about to reach Mingda Town, Chu De'an woke up Shen Xuewei.
After parking the car, Chu De'an led Shen Xuewei toward her relatives' house.
Actually, Chu De'an didn't know the other person very well, but there was only one family in town having a banquet today, so he could find out by asking around.
Upon arriving at their relative's house, they gave Grandpa Chu's name, registered the gift money they had brought, and then the two found a less crowded table to eat at.
It had been a long time since I had eaten a meal with such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and with people talking at every table, the scene was lively and bustling.
Shen Xuewei ate until she was stuffed, a rare occurrence for her, and burped while rubbing her stomach.
Chu De'an had just laughed at her when he received a slap, and he stopped laughing and obediently picked up his bowl to eat.
Shen Xuewei couldn't eat, and curiously looked at the people coming in and out of the door.
They ate the first round; there will be a second round after that.
The first group of people who ate are almost done leaving, and the second group is starting to arrive.
As he was looking around, he suddenly made eye contact with one of the tall, strong men with a rather protruding belly.
Both of them were startled. Shen Xuewei was about to stand up and greet the man when she saw him striding towards her.
"Shen Xuewei!"
"I thought I had mistaken you for someone else, but it really is you. What a coincidence, you're here for a banquet too?"
Girls change a lot as they grow up. In fact, Shen Xuewei looks very different from when she was a child. The only thing that hasn't changed is that her eyes are still big and bright.
However, the two have added each other on WeChat. Shen Xuewei doesn't post on her WeChat Moments very frequently, but she will post two or three times a month.
He had seen Shen Xuewei's photos on WeChat Moments before, so he was able to recognize her when he suddenly saw her.
Shen Xuewei stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Teacher Yan."
She explained, "This family is my cousin's relatives, and I came here with my cousin."
She patted Chu De'an lightly on the back. "De'an, quickly say hello to Teacher Yan."
Chu De'an hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of rice, then stood up to greet Teacher Yan.
"Hello, Teacher Yan. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Mingda Town is such a small place, and after a few twists and turns, it turns out that the Chu family and Teacher Yan's family are related.
Chu De'an also attended Mingda Primary School.
Mingda Elementary School is so small that there is only one Chinese teacher for each grade.
Although Teacher Yan was not his homeroom teacher, she had taught him Chinese and was his Chinese teacher.
Teacher Yan looked the two of them up and down. "You two are siblings? I really can't tell."
He was about to continue speaking when his wife and children, who were already sitting at another table, called out to him.
He responded, but showed no intention of going to that table; he simply called out:
"You guys eat your food. I ran into one of my students, so I'm catching up with him."
