Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Is there a baby marriage?

Two more male classmates came later, one of them was Peng Haoyu, another classmate from their class who was admitted to high school. The other one was Jiang Jiefeng, Zhang Jiahuan's cousin.

"Can we have dinner now?" Jiang Jiefeng asked.

Zhang Jiahuan said: "Wait a little longer, some people haven't arrived yet."

Jiang Jiefeng looked at the people present and asked curiously, "Who else hasn't come yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, three people came to the door, two men and one woman, about the same age as them.

"I'm here," Zhang Jiahuan stood up and waved, "Here."

"Why is it so far and so remote? Why are we eating at Lingcheng Hotel?" A dissatisfied female voice sounded.

Xia Qinqin turned her head and looked, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She also recognized the people who came. The two boys were Pang Youcheng and Li Yaoqing from the next class, and the girl seemed to be Pang Youcheng's sister. I heard that they were twins.

When did Zhang Jiahuan become so close to them?

Pang Youcheng walked over and said with a smile, "My sister got hot all the way here, please don't mind her complaining a bit."

Zhang Jiahuan was a little embarrassed because of what Pang Youhua said just now. After hearing what Pang Youcheng said, he smiled and said, "The temperature is really high today. Everyone, please sit down first. I'll get you some soda."

Li Yaoqing walked over and sat down: "There's soda, I want the orange flavor."

Pang Youcheng said, "This is too expensive. We are all classmates, so there is no need to be so polite. Just eat whatever you want."

Xia Qinqin frowned as she listened to Pang Youcheng's words. Why did it feel like what he said was the same as what her grandfather's friends said when they had dinner together?

Zhang Jiahuan led them to their seats and said, "Today's soda is what I brought from home. Everyone, drink as much as you want."

Feng Xiaoyan said: "Jia Huan's mother works in a soda factory, so her family has a lot of soda to drink."

Zhang Jiahuan smiled and said, "My mother works in the factory union. Because I like to drink soda, soda is the main welfare benefit."

Pang Youhua took out a small box from his bag and handed it to Zhang Jiahuan, "This is our birthday present for you. My aunt bought this lipstick at the Friendship Store in Haishi. It's a new style released by Country M this year."

Zhang Jiahuan looked down at the beautifully packaged little box, his eyes filled with surprise.

Feng Xiaoyan was surprised: "Wow, a lipstick from Country M, it must be very expensive."

Pang Youhua shrugged: "I don't know. My aunt gave me two, and I took this one because I haven't used it yet." After saying that, she walked straight to Xia Qinqin and sat down.

Pang Youcheng said with a smile: "I heard that it seems to cost more than a hundred yuan each. We boys don't know what to give to girls, so I asked my sister to take us to give gifts together."

Zhang Jiahuan said hurriedly: "This, this is too expensive, I am embarrassed to accept it."

Pang Youcheng smiled and exchanged a few polite words with her, and Zhang Jiahuan stopped smiling.

Pang Youhua took a sip of soda, quietly rolled his eyes, and whispered, "Hypocritical."

Xia Qinqin noticed that Zhang Jiahuan carefully put the lipstick into her pocket. She seemed to like it very much. She gently pulled Sun Wenli next to her and whispered in her ear, "What gift did you give Jiahuan?"

Sun Wenli said: "I gave her a silk scarf and Xiaoyan gave her a hair tie."

The two boys who just arrived gave me notebooks, which are very common gifts among students.

Pang Youhua next to him suddenly spoke up: "Hey, Xia Qinqin, why don't you come with us?"

Xia Qinqin was stunned by her question and said curiously, "I didn't know you guys were coming too."

Pang Youhua said, "Didn't Zhang Jiahuan tell you? She came to my house last week to invite me and my brother, and said that you and Lu Yannan would also come." At this point, she pouted and said, "If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have come."

Xia Qinqin asked her: "Why did you come to see me?"

Pang Youhua looked at Xia Qinqin, cleared his throat, and said, "I want to be friends with you."

Xia Qinqin: “……?”

Pang Youhua snorted and said, "He Weiyu and I had a big fight. She is no longer my good friend. I need to find a new good friend."

He Weiyu is the daughter of the military district chief of staff. She lives next door to Pang Youhua, and the two have always had a good relationship.

"I looked around the family home and after inspection, I felt that you were the most suitable person to be my good friend."

Xia Qinqin: “…Hehe.”

Pang Youhua frowned: "Why, you don't want to? We are all from the military's family compound, aren't we closer than they are from the military factory's family compound?"

Xia Qinqin said: "If you want to make friends with me, just go to my house. It's only a few steps away."

Pang Youhua pouted, "It was my brother who said that you can't rush to make friends, you have to wait for the right occasion to strike up a conversation. Zhang Jiahuan happened to be here that day, and my brother said that birthday parties are a good place to meet new friends, so I agreed to come. Just before I left, we went to your house to ask you to come, but your mother said you had left early in the morning."

Xia Qinqin: “…”

"Hey, are you willing to be friends with me?" Pang Youhua asked anxiously.

Xia Qinqin nodded: "If you have nothing to do during the summer vacation, you can come to my house to play with me."

Pang Youhua smiled with satisfaction: "Well, since you sincerely invited me, I will go to your house to play tomorrow."

Xia Qinqin smiled helplessly.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Jiahuan raised his soda bottle and said loudly, "Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. This is also our last gathering as junior high school classmates. I hope everyone will remember our friendship in the future."

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

Li Yaoqing asked curiously, "Did you all get into high school?"

As soon as he said this, the air was silent for two seconds.

Pang Youhua said, "Your memory is too bad. Didn't I tell you that only Xia Qinqin, Lu Yannan, and Peng Haoyu across from us were admitted to high school. No one else made it."

Li Yaoqing touched his nose and said, "I didn't pay attention. I thought you were talking about our class. It turns out that there are so many people in your class who didn't pass the exam. I said it must be difficult to get into high school, and my dad beat me up again."

Pang Youhua snorted and said proudly, "Only smart people like us can get into high school."

Pang Youcheng glared at her and said with a smile, "Starting work early means contributing to society early. Let's wait until we graduate from high school before starting work. Our junior high school classmates are our seniors now."

"By the way, have you guys got your jobs decided?" Pang Youcheng naturally changed the subject and started chatting about work with the others.

After dinner, Zhang Jiahuan suggested going to the movies, but Pang Youhua refused: "I'm not going. The theater is several blocks away. I want to go home."

Since she was leaving, Pang Youcheng and Li Yaoqing would naturally go back with her.

"Hey, Xia Qinqin, come back with us." Pang Youhua said, pulling Xia Qinqin.

Xia Qinqin looked at the big sun outside and shook her head: "No, I want to go to the library next door to borrow some books."

The weather is so hot, she should read a book in the library and go back in the evening.

Pang Youhua pouted and said, "Well, remember that I'm going to your house tomorrow, so don't go out again."

Xia Qinqin smiled and said, "I won't forget it."

After they left, two boys, Peng Haoyu and Jiang Jiefeng, also said they didn't want to watch the movie and left first.

Sun Wenli and Feng Xiaoyan were preparing to go to the movies with Zhang Jiahuan, but Zhang Jiahuan said, "You guys go to the theater first. I have something I want to talk to Qinqin alone."

After everyone left, Xia Qinqin asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Jiahuan looked around. It was past dinner time and everyone in the restaurant had left. Only a few waiters were sitting inside and dozing off.

"Well, I have something to ask you."

Xia Qinqin nodded: "You ask."

Zhang Jiahuan looked into Xia Qinqin's eyes and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Lu Yannan?"

Xia Qinqin blinked: "We are good friends."

Zhang Jiahuan said: "That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking, have you two families arranged a marriage for your children?"

"?" Xia Qinqin was shocked.

"Is there any?" Zhang Jiahuan urged.

"How is that possible? What era is this? How can there still be child marriages? This is an era of free marriage!" Xia Qinqin emphasized.

Zhang Jiahuan curled his lips and said, "Marriage is still decided by parents, so do your two families have any idea of ​​​​marriage?"

"Marriage?" Xia Qinqin looked confused. What kind of strange word is this? "You mean marriage?"

"They all mean the same thing." Zhang Jiahuan said confidently, "Your father is a teacher after all, and Lu Yannan's family is even more prominent. Your two families are just forming an alliance, aren't they?"

Xia Qinqin caught the strange point: "How do you know that Brother Yannan's family is not small?"

Lu Yannan’s most obvious relationship here is his uncle, the deputy division commander.

Zhang Jiahuan leaned over and said mysteriously, "My uncle knows Lu Yannan's uncle and helped him with some things. So they have some intersections."

Her uncle was the secretary of the director of a machinery factory. When Lu Shaohuan borrowed a car for the high school entrance examination, he asked the director of the machinery factory. Her uncle was in charge of this matter and also knew that Lu Yannan was in the same class as his niece.

Although we don't know Lu Shaohuan's specific background, judging from the factory director's attitude of attaching importance to him, it is impossible that it is just because of his position as deputy division commander. He must have very powerful connections behind him.

Therefore, he specifically told his niece that she should have the opportunity to get along well with this classmate Lu.

"By the way, tell me, do you have any plans to get married?"

Xia Qinqin shook her head: "How is that possible? Brother Yannan and I are just good friends. Besides, we are still so young. It's too early to think about getting married now."

Zhang Jiahuan said, "What's so early about that? You're already thirteen, I'm fifteen, it's only been two years. My mom married my dad when she was fourteen. You have to look for a good partner early, otherwise they'll be snatched up by others."

Xia Qinqin suddenly realized what she meant and said in shock: "You, you don't like Brother Yannan, do you?"

Zhang Jiahuan nodded: "Lu Yannan is quite good. Although she is two years younger than me, it doesn't matter. A girl who is two years older than me has a jar full of gold."

The main reason is that his family is well-off. If I can marry him, I will become a cadre family in the future.

Xia Qinqin still couldn't understand: "But, but...Brother Yannan is only thirteen years old and still has to go to high school."

Zhang Jiahuan said nonchalantly, "High school is only two years. After graduation, his family will definitely consider his lifelong affairs. The elders in this kind of family will definitely be anxious to have grandchildren."

Xia Qinqin continued to be shocked as she listened to Zhang Jiahuan's words. They were studying in the same classroom just last month, so how come they were discussing getting married and having children now?

"Hey, Xia Qinqin, we have such a good relationship, you have to help me." Zhang Jiahuan pulled Xia Qinqin's hand and shook it.

Xia Qinqin asked: "What can I help you with?"

"Help me watch the drama Yan Nan." Zhang Jiahuan said as a matter of course.
